Will Higher Trading Volume Aid Coinbase (COIN) in Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Coinbase Global (COIN - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2024 earnings on May 2, after market close. The company delivered an earnings surprise in each of the last four reported quarters.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Trading volumes in the first quarter are likely to have benefited from increased crypto asset volatility and crypto asset prices, the primary driver of the trading business. The approval of Bitcoin spot ETF is likely to have aided trading volumes.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total trading volume is pegged at 268 million, indicating an improvement of 84.8% from the year-ago reported number. The consensus estimate for total volume - Consumer is pegged at 17.1 million, suggesting a 119.6% increase from the year-ago reported number. The consensus mark for total volume - Institution is pegged at 222 million, up 79% from the year-ago reported number.
Higher blended average fees for Consumer and Institutional combined with higher trading volumes are likely to have driven an increase in transaction revenues.
While a prudent mix of simple and advanced trading volume is likely to have aided blended average fee for Consumers, growth in Coinbase Prime volume is expected to have led to a higher blended average fee rate at Institutional. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for transaction revenues is pegged at $714 million, indicating an increase of 90.4% from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for transaction revenue - Consumer is pegged at $343 million, up 104% from the year-ago reported number. The consensus estimate for transaction revenue - Institutional is pegged at $56 million, up 151% from the year-ago reported number
