Coinbase Falls Despite Q1 Earnings Beat: ETFs in Focus
Read MoreHide Full Article
Coinbase Global (COIN - Free Report) reported solid first-quarter 2043 earnings results on May 2, after the closing bell. It surpassed estimates on both earnings and revenues, benefiting from the wave of revival in digital coin trading largely due to the launch of a series of new bitcoin ETFs in January.
Yet, COIN shares dropped as much as 4% in the after-market hours on elevated trading volumes. This has put ETFs with double-digit exposure to this largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange in focus. These include First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry & Digital Economy ETF (CRPT - Free Report) , Global X Blockchain ETF (BKCH - Free Report) , Fidelity Crypto Industry and Digital Payments ETF (FDIG - Free Report) , ARK 21Shares Blockchain and Digital Economy Innovation ETF (ARKD - Free Report) and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF - Free Report) .
Coinbase's earnings per share were $4.40, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.04 by a huge margin. The bottom line improved from a loss of 34 cents per share reported in the year-ago quarter. The strong earnings were attributable to a boost in transactions, thanks to the wider crypto market’s upswing and the launch of a series of new bitcoin ETFs in January. Revenues climbed 72% quarter over quarter and 112% year over year to $1.64 billion and beat the consensus estimate of $1.26 billion.
Trading volume jumped to $312 billion from $154 billion in the previous quarter and $145 billion in the year-ago quarter. The improvement was attributed to a strong interest in crypto (read: Spot Bitcoin ETFs Smash Records With $1B Inflows).
Total transaction revenues surged 104% from the fourth quarter to $1.07 billion. Consumer transaction revenues jumped to $935 million, nearly doubling from the fourth quarter, whereas institutional transaction revenues shot up 113% quarter over quarter to $85 million. Total subscription and services revenues climbed 36% from the previous quarter to $510.9 million.
The cryptocurrency exchange expects second-quarter subscription and services revenues in the range of $525-$600 million.
