Coinbase's Shares Plunge After First-Quarter Loss Coinbase's earnings fell short of estimates, and revenue fell 27% from last year, the effect of lower cryptocurrency asset prices plus volatility that began in late 2021 and has persisted. With Bitcoin at half its November peak price, Coinbase shares are at their lowest since last year's initial public offering.
-- The crypto exchange operator had a net loss of $430 million and revenue of $1.165 billion for the first quarter. Analysts expected revenue of $1.476 billion. Its shares sank as much as 19% in after-hours trading before recovering some ground.
-- Coinbase said it believes current market conditions aren't permanent and it remains focused on the long-term. Both transaction fees and the volume of monthly transacting users declined, and Coinbase said it expects trading volumes to fall again in the second quarter.
-- Coinbase shares are down 83% from a high of $368.90 last November and down 74% from its much-anticipated IPO a year ago.
-- El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said Bitcoin's price drop below $30,000 was a buying opportunity. The country made the crypto a legal tender last year when it owned 400 Bitcoins. With the most recent dip, it bought another 500 tokens, he said. It now has 2,301 Bitcoins, or $72 million.

Coinbase could jump 22% due to growth in the 'cryptoeconomy' and buy in from institutional investors, CFRA says
Apr. 19, 2021, 05:00 PM
"Our base case scenario implies COIN not only becomes one of the largest financial exchanges for crypto but that it is also successful in diversifying into other products and services, most notably those aimed at institutional investors, an area it has more aggressively pursued over the past two years," Kuiper wrote.
Kuiper and his team also presented earnings per share estimates of $6.89 for 2021 and $3.00 for 2022 in their note to clients and said they see operating margins ramping and then stabilizing at 35%.
In a separate thematic research note that was also released on Friday, CFRA highlighted Coinbase's push for institutional clients, saying the group is seeking to build a "one-stop-shop" for institutions to access the crypto markets.
CFRA analysts laid out three scenarios for Coinbase's shares, a bear case where the company trades at $120, a base case where the firm hits $400, and a bull case where shares could rise as high as $840 per share.
The bull case implies a potential 145% jump in share prices over the next year amid a push for crypto from institutions. It also assumes a CAGR of 36% for the next decade, slightly below Amazon's 40% CAGR from 1998 to 2009, and puts Coinbase's revenue north of $19 billion by 2027.
