Shares of leading US crypto exchange Coinbase nosedived, recording their steepest one day decline in two years on Oct. 31 after it reported third-quarter earnings came in below analyst expectations.

Coinbase Global (COIN) shares plunged 15.3% to close at $179.25 amid broad market weakness. This marked COIN’s steepest drop since July 2022 amid an SEC probe of the company.

Coinbase’s earnings per share came in at $0.28 for the quarter, well below expectations for $0.45. Revenue of $1.21 billion missed the $1.26 billion forecast, too, while Coinbase’s net income of $75 million was short of the expected $112.2 million.

Meanwhile, transaction revenue declined 27% quarter-over-quarter to $573 million, although that was 98% up on the same quarter a year earlier.

COIN plunged despite news of a $1 billion stock buyback program by the company. Coinbase said that the timing and amount of shares repurchased would depend on market conditions, and the program may be adjusted, paused, or stopped at any time.

Analysts Remain Optimistic On Coinbase Outlook

Crypto trader Pickle on X remains confident in Coinbase’s outlook despite the earnings disappointment and said the reaction to the third-quarter results was ”overblown.”

“Summer is the quietest period for all markets, crypto was chopping and retail interest wained,” the analyst said. ”Q1 and Q2 earnings next year will be ridiculous.”

While Coinbase’s earnings were ”a bit of a let down,” analyst Geert Leysen on X said the crypto exchange is a play on Bitcoin and that he had ”doubled down” on the stock after yesterday’s fall.
