Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (MARA - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 8, after the bell.

The company’s earnings surprise history has not been impressive. It delivered a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 57.9%, on average, beating estimates thrice and missing once.

Q3 Expectations

The consensus mark is pegged at a loss of 6 cents per share. The company incurred a loss of 34 cents in the year-ago quarter.

Marathon Digital's performance in the quarter under review is expected to have been positively impacted by an increase in bitcoin production and higher bitcoin prices on a year-over-year basis.
