Coinbase, Robinhood, PayPal Earnings in Focus as Crypto Stocks Retreat

Crypto stocks face a busy earnings calendar this week as investors assess the impact of weaker cryptocurrency markets. Coinbase, Robinhood, and PayPal are all scheduled to report quarterly results between October 27 and 29, and the updates could clarify how softer digital-asset activity affected trading revenue, payments, and other financial services. The releases fall within a three-day window, giving investors a concentrated stretch of updates on crypto-exposed businesses. Taken together, the three reports span exchange trading, retail brokerage, and consumer payments, offering a cross-section of how consumer-facing crypto businesses navigated the quarter's market weakness.

Bitcoin traded near $80,800 on October 25 after retreating from its early-October highs, and top crypto stocks have declined over the past few weeks.

Coinbase Stock on Edge Ahead of Earnings

Coinbase stock will be in the spotlight this week as the exchange releases its third-quarter earnings, which will provide more information about its business.

COIN shares have been under pressure over the past few weeks, down from a high of $208 on September 21 to their current level of $164. The retreat has coincided with ongoing crypto market weakness, which has reduced total market capitalization from nearly $3 trillion to $2.7 trillion.

The results are expected to show modest improvement, as Bitcoin and most altcoins rebounded toward the end of the quarter. According to Yahoo Finance data, analysts expect Coinbase to report revenue of $1.2 billion for the third quarter. If confirmed, that would represent a 34% decline from the amount it made in the same period last year. Because exchange revenue is closely tied to overall trading activity, the figures will show how the quarter's swings in crypto markets flowed through to the top line.

From a technical perspective, the stock's highest point this month coincided with its highs in March, April, and May, and shares have remained below the 50-day moving average. The report's technical analysis indicated that a strong earnings release could lead to a rebound, while a weak one may drag the stock toward the psychological level of $150.

Robinhood Stock Drops to Key Level Ahead of Earnings

Robinhood, the company that disrupted the stock brokerage industry, has also become one of the biggest players in the crypto industry. It offers crypto investing and trading solutions both on its own platform and through Bitstamp, and its crypto business has been a key reason the stock has remained under pressure this year. With a foot in both equities and crypto, its results double as a reading on retail engagement across traditional and digital-asset markets.

The brokerage will release its financial results on Wednesday. Analysts expect the report to show revenue of $1.43 billion, up 12.3% from a year earlier, with earnings per share of 55 cents, down from 61 cents in the same period last year.

The earnings arrive at an important technical juncture. The stock has dropped to $95, a level that coincides with the lower side of an ascending channel, and it has moved below both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages — a pattern the report described as a sign that bears are in control and that further declines are likely.

PayPal Stock in Focus as Earnings Loom

PayPal is another top crypto-linked stock to watch this week as it publishes its financial results. The company, which enables customers to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies and issues the PYUSD stablecoin, adds a payments-side perspective to a week otherwise dominated by trading platforms. The report comes a few months after Stripe and Advent abandoned their acquisition bid for the company, after PayPal held out for a higher offer from the two firms.

The numbers will provide more hints on the payments company's turnaround efforts. Analysts expect the results to show that revenue remained under pressure last quarter amid continued industry competition. The average estimate among analysts calls for revenue growth of just 3.4% in the third quarter, to $8.71 billion, while earnings per share are expected at $1.31, down slightly from $1.34 in the same period last year.

Bitcoin Miners Also on the Radar

In addition to these three companies, investors will focus on other crypto stocks in the Bitcoin mining industry, including IREN, Riot Platforms, and MARA Holdings. Because these companies earn revenue directly from Bitcoin production, their updates will add another layer to the week's picture of how crypto-linked businesses are performing.
