Gemini Stock Hits Record Low Despite Strong Revenue Growth
Gemini, in its first earnings report post-IPO, posted a larger-than-expected $159.5 million Q3 loss, while unveiling plans for a multi-product super app including regulated prediction markets.
Gemini’s first quarterly earnings since its September IPO revealed a net loss of $159.5 million, or $6.67 per share, more than double analysts’ forecast of $3.24. Revenue climbed 100% year-over-year to $50.6 million, boosted by increased trading activity and products including a crypto rewards credit card and staking services. Despite strong revenue growth, high marketing and IPO-related expenses pushed shares down 8.67% in pre-market trading to $15.38. The exchange plans to expand beyond crypto trading with a multi-product super app and regulated prediction markets for sports and politics, pending approval.
