Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (MARA - Free Report) is slated to report its third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 8, after the bell.

The company’s earnings surprise history has not been impressive. Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters and missed twice, delivering a negative earnings surprise of 69.3%, on average.
