Marathon Digital (NASDAQ:MARA) stock is taking a beating on Tuesday following the release of its earnings report for the first quarter of 2021.
Here’s everything investors need to know from Marathon Digital’s latest earnings report.
- Starting off, the company’s losses per share of 20 cents didn’t do MARA stock any favors.
- This was worse off than the per-share loss of 2 cents that Wall Street was expecting.
- It was also a wider loss than the 12 cents per share from the same time last year.
- In addition to that, Marathon Digital’s revenue of $9.15 million didn’t excite investors, either.
- That’s due to it missing analysts’ estimates by 19%.
- However, it was better than the company’s revenue of $592,000 from the same period of the year prior.
- The Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) mining company notes that it produced 192 BTC during the quarter.
- It also mentioned that it purchased an additional 4,812.66 bitcoins for $150 million during the period.
- The company’s earnings also note that active miners were brought up to 6,800.
