Coinbase stock hit with analyst downgrade citing 'limited support' for current valuation
Coinbase (COIN) got downgraded by analysts at Compass Point who questioned whether its valuation was sustainable. The analysts changed Coinbase's rating to Sell from Neutral and lowered its price target to $248 from $330 per share. The new price target represents a 21% decline from Friday's close. "While we remain constructive on the current crypto cycle, we expect a choppy 3Q alongside weak August/September seasonality and waning retail interest in crypto treasury stocks," Compass Point analyst Ed Engel wrote on Sunday night. "As such, we see limited support for COIN's valuation if crypto markets sell off further," he noted. The development comes after the crypto platform's stock plunged 14% on Friday, its biggest intraday drop since April, after the company's quarterly earnings report showed that revenue last quarter took a hit from lower trading volume. Compass Point pointed to Coinbase's Subscription & Services (S&S) revenue, which came in at $655.8 million versus Wall Street estimates for $715.2 million. S&S includes plans such as Coinbase One, a monthly subscription product that offers no trading fees and other perks "Investors place a higher premium on these recurring fees, thus disappointing S&S fees have a more pronounced impact on COIN's valuation," Engel wrote. The analyst also pointed out that increasing stablecoin competition will likely put downward pressure on the valuation for Coinbase and its partner, Circle (CRCL).

Engel and his team also said they believe interest in crypto treasury stocks such as Strategy (MSTR), the largest public holder of bitcoin, is declining, limiting the ability for companies to raise money for more token purchases, essentially crypto's upside in the near term. The analyst noted Strategy has recently slowed purchases of bitcoin. "With Strategy buying $18bn BTC YTD, MSTR's pivot removes another layer of BTC buying pressure," Engel said. Not all analysts are so bearish. The stock has 19 analyst Buy recommendations, 16 Hold, and 5 Sell, according to Bloomberg data. Bernstein analysts recently dubbed Coinbase a "one-stop Amazon" of crypto services. In a note last week, the analysts reaffirmed an Outperform rating on the stock with a $510 price target. Instead, the analysts said investors should focus on crypto derivatives and the company's "everything exchange" vision for the platform. On the company's earnings call, CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted Coinbase's focus on tokenized equities, or digital tokens representing real-world stocks. "We believe tokenized equities are more efficient with global coverage, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and the ability to offer perpetual futures," Armstrong told analysts. Year to date, Coinbase shares are up roughly 24%.Ines Ferre is a senior business reporter for Yahoo Finance. Follow her on X at @ines_ferre.

Sibanye-Stillwater's call for US tariff on Russian palladium may add to price volatility
LONDON (Reuters) -Sibanye-Stillwater has asked the United States to consider imposing a tariff on Russian palladium imports to support the long-term viability of U.S. supplies, in a move that could increase volatility in palladium prices. The petition filed by Johannesburg-based Sibanye-Stillwater adds another layer of uncertainty to prospects for platinum group metals (PGMs) after a rally in prices so far this year due to lower first-half production in South Africa and thin liquidity in the spot market. "We believe that Russian palladium imports are being sold below market prices due to various factors, beginning primarily after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022," Sibanye-Stillwater's Chief Executive Neal Froneman said in a statement on the company's website dated July 31. "Obtaining relief from dumped and subsidised Russian imports will give Sibanye-Stillwater, its employees, and the entire U.S. PGM industry, an opportunity to compete on a more level playing field," he added. A final decision on the petition is likely within 13 months. Russia's Nornickel, the world's largest palladium producer with a 40% share of global mined output, declined to comment. Sibanye-Stillwater, which has production assets in South Africa and the United States, suffered its second consecutive full-year loss last year after writing down $500 million of its U.S. palladium assets amid low prices. Spot palladium prices are up 31% so far this year, and the outlook for the rest of the year is positive for miners: analysts forecast in a Reuters poll in July that the palladium price would rise in 2025 for the first time in four years, aided by platinum's rally. "Although placing duties on Russian metal would not necessarily impact the market balance of palladium, it could result in the re-routing of global physical metal flows, leading to price volatility," analysts at Heraeus said. Russia and South Africa are the top suppliers of palladium to the United States, according to the Trade Data Monitor. For Russia, China is the second largest buyer of the metal after the United States. Russian palladium imports to the U.S. increased 42% year-on-year to more than 500,000 troy ounces in January-May, according to Heraeus. PGMs, used widely to clean exhausts in gasoline vehicles, have so far avoided both U.S. sanctions imposed on Russian companies over the Ukraine war and any import tariffs announced by President Donald Trump.
