Canaan reported its third-quarter earnings earlier than the bell right this moment, and the market clearly cheered these outcomes.
Regardless of a plunging Bitcoin value (which dipped beneath $90,000 for the primary time in months yesterday), Canaan’s third-quarter income skyrocketed. The corporate reported year-over-year top-line development of 104%, shattering expectations, and a gross revenue of $16.6 million for the quarter. I would argue that it was this earnings quantity that actually shocked traders, contemplating Canaan misplaced $21.5 million in the identical quarter the earlier 12 months and stays unprofitable on a trailing twelve-month foundation.
The overwhelming majority of the corporate’s income is derived from promoting crypto miners ($118.6 million of the $150.5 million reported), though Bitcoin mining revenues accounted for roughly 20% of the corporate’s whole revenues. Additionally essential to traders is the truth that Canaan’s Bitcoin mining income was up greater than 240% on a year-over-year foundation. Thus, declining Bitcoin costs do not seem like affecting Canaan to the identical extent as a few of its friends.
If the crypto mining firm can proceed to provide outcomes like these within the coming quarters, it is totally doable my overarching bearish thesis round this inventory may very well be incorrect. Hey, I have been incorrect earlier than. For now, not less than, the market seems to be warming as much as the concept CAN inventory has turn out to be oversold, and that is comprehensible given these spectacular outcomes.
