Coinbase stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Coinbase stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Coinbase's P/E ratio

  Coinbase's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 23x. In other words, Coinbase shares trade at around 23 times recent earnings.

  That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

• Coinbase's PEG ratio

  Coinbase's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 8.3308. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Coinbase's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Coinbase's EBITDA

  Coinbase's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $2.4 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

How volatile is Coinbase stock?

Over the last 12 months, Coinbase's stocks price has ranged from $142.58 to as high as $444.65. Coinbase's beta measurement of stock volatility is 3.68. For comparison, the market () average beta is 1. This would suggest that Coinbase's stocks are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of Coinbase's beta stock volatility rating.
