Single Stock ReportCryptoEquitiesFinancials

Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating on Coinbase but lowers the price target to $264 following a weak 4Q25 report and soft 1Q26 guidance. The reduction is driven by lower anticipated transaction and subscription revenues alongside compressed target multiples.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Coinbase reported weaker than expected 4Q25 core results and issued a 1Q26 revenue guide significantly below consensus.
  • 2.The 12-month price target was reduced from $310 to $264 due to lower earnings estimates and a reduced target P/E multiple.
  • 3.Management is prioritizing long-term revenue diversification via stablecoins, payments infrastructure, and on-chain adoption despite current market headwinds.
