MARA Tumbles 8% After Q2 Loss of $1.60/Share Misses by $1.86
MARA sits 52% above its 52-week low of $6.66.
Summary
MARA shares fell 8.4% to $9.75 Friday as traders reacted to a Q2 adjusted loss of $1.60 per share, far below the $0.26 profit consensus. Revenue dropped 27% YoY to $174.9M, and Bitcoin holdings shrank 29% to 35,577 BTC. The company emphasized an AI infrastructure pivot, leveraging its 2 GW Texas site and 19 data centers, but near-term mining economics are weighing on sentiment. This follows yesterday's initial earnings reports that highlighted the $611M net loss and revenue decline. The AI strategy may offer a longer-term catalyst, but the immediate focus is on the earnings miss and Bitcoin exposure.
