Read MoreHide Full Article

Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN - Free Report) shares soared 9.8% in the last trading session to close at $89.15. The move was backed by solid volume with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This compares to the stock's 60.6% gain over the past four weeks.

Higher subscription and services revenues, improved product suite and declining expenses continue to drive COIN.

Coinbase Global is likely to gain from increased adoption of a greater number of crypto assets, higher volatility and a rise in interest across the entire crypto economy. The company is also implementing the second phase of crypto adoption, that is, crypto as a technology.

COIN believes revenue diversification is a means to grow in the long term so that one macro event does not affect all revenue streams. An increase in both the average crypto asset prices and total crypto spot market volumes should drive the overall trading volume of COIN.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.84 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +83%. Revenues are expected to be $653.81 million, down 19.1% from the year-ago quarter.

While earnings and revenue growth expectations are important in evaluating the potential strength in a stock, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

For Coinbase Global, Inc., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 3.7% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on COIN going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
