Coinbase is Looking to Rally from its 2021 Slump and Cintas Shocks Analysts as Earnings Results Beat Consensus
Coinbase Global Inc.
Despite the turbulence in the crypto markets with regulatory uncertainty, JMP Securities initiated coverage of Coinbase this week, rating it as a “Buy”! The bank set a price target of $300.
“I can’t think of any other company with 70 million customers that generates roughly $7 billion in revenues that’s in its first or second inning as a business,” Devin Ryan, analyst, and director of JMP’s financial technology research, told Yahoo Finance.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said, “We’re also focusing on international expansion, another form of decentralization, and just listing more and more assets. We want to be the Amazon of assets, list every asset out there in crypto that’s legal.”
Looking ahead, Coinbase is optimistic about seeing gains soon. “We expect meaningful growth in 2021 driven by transaction and custody revenue given the increased institutional interest in the crypto asset class,” the company said in the release.
Bulls see a buying opportunity during all this turbulence!
