Circle Misses Q2 Revenue Estimates Despite Profit Rebound; Shares Dip 3.7%
CRCL sits 23% above its 52-week low of $49.9.
Summary
Circle's Q2 revenue of $701.3M missed the $718.6M consensus, overshadowing a swing to profitability with EPS of $0.18 and net income of $48M. The shortfall was attributed to a cooler crypto environment, though USDC circulation grew 19% to $73.3B and Adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to $143M. This follows the July 1 Open USD launch that triggered an 18% share drop, and the recent OCC trust bank charter approval. Management highlighted the September 16 Arc mainnet launch and institutional partnerships with BlackRock and BNY as key catalysts. Shares fell 3.7% premarket, reflecting disappointment with the top-line miss despite strategic progress.
