Coinbase Faces Market Downturn, Analyst Concerns

Coinbase, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is grappling with a downturn in the crypto market, causing its stock to plummet. Argus Researchs recent earnings per share estimate revision for 2026, a thirty-one percent decrease, has raised concerns about the stocks overvaluation. Coinbases profits are heavily tied to the volatile crypto market, making future earnings predictions challenging. Despite a period of rapid growth earlier this year, the stock has lost over thirteen percent of its value in the past year, underperforming the S&P five hundred index. Coinbases valuation appears higher than traditional stock exchanges, but it trades at a twenty-four percent discount to its five-year historical average. Despite beating earnings estimates in its third-quarter report, the stock continues to decline due to increasing expenses and growing competition. However, many Wall Street analysts remain optimistic, with sixteen out of thirty-three rating the stock a Strong Buy, and a mean price target suggesting a fifty-three percent upside.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
