COINBASE Isn’t the largest crypto exchange…

COINBASE STOCK FINANCIALS?

The company’s revenue at the end of 2020 was 1.2 billion dollars, however the company’s revenue is skyrocketed by over 300 percent to 4.9 billion dollars.

so this is my advanced valuation model here i’ve plugged in all the numbers for coinbase and i’ve actually been really conservative in terms of the growth so previously it grew at 300 percent i’ve put next year it only grows at 30 and then the next two to five years 30 again.

IS COINBASE STOCK UNDERVALUED?

YES! BUT WAIT! (be sure to read the risk section)

Coinbase stock undervalued right now value per share $342 and the share price is $248, so it’s definitely looking over 27% Undervalued.

PRICE TO SALES = 14   , PRICE TO SALES (Robinhood) = 27

Robinhood although stock broker platform also makes it’s revenue from “ORDER FLOW & TRADING VOLUME”.

 COINBASE STOCK RISKS?

1.COINBASE BROKER NOT UNIQUE/COMMODITY

There are now many different platforms where you can buy and sell cryptocurrency now compared to 2012 .

2. CRYPTO VOLATILITY TIED TO COINBASE SHARE PRICE

Coinbase share price will be pegged to the price of cryptocurrency , so if crypto booms once again the price of coinbase will go up because their transaction volume will equal more revenues for coinbase and if crypto plummets so will coinbase’s revenues!

CRYPTO PRICE INCREASE = COINBASE REVENUE INCREASE 

CRYPTO PRICE CRASH = PEOPLE SCARED OUT MARKET = LOWER COINBASE REVENUES = LOWER COINBASE SHARE PRICE

3. INSIDERS HAVE BEEN SELLING COINBASE STOCK!

Now i do understand this is how venture capital works they invest early stage companies and they exit at the ip,  but if a company founder really had a lot of faith in the company moving forward maybe they wouldn’t exit and sell as much of their stock.

FOUNDER & CEO Brian armstrong sold 291 million dollars worth . of shares ipo price of $410

andreessen horowitz sold $6 million worth of shares at $348  per share & close to $4 million worth at $230/share.

FINAL THOUGHTS?

COINBASE is a fantastic company, growing extremely fast, profitable & could create a new “CRYPTO ECONOMY”. However, be aware of the risks of the companies share price being affected bu cryptocurrency, and the heavy competition with broker platforms.
