Previous quarter EPS losses
Strategy's financial performance has been far from steady over the past ten years; its recent trajectory was primarily due to its aggressive buying of Bitcoin.
MicroStrategy's profits have been somewhat volatile, primarily and likely due to the company's significant investment in Bitcoin.
Join the discussion with Scott Melker on Roundtable here.
The corporation reported a substantial loss in the first quarter of 2025, amounting to -$16.49 per share, which was far worse than the expected -$2.44. This was a 575% negative earnings surprise. This happened following a string of growing losses in 2024.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the fourth quarter was -$3.03, representing a 3,214% surprise compared to the prediction of -$0.09. EPS for the third quarter was -$1.72, a 1,298% surprise compared to the predicted -$0.12.
This trend follows a longer-term pattern: MicroStrategy made steady but small profits from 2010 to 2019, but its recent turn to Bitcoin has amplified its earnings fluctuations.
The habit of underperformance began in the first quarter of 2024, when EPS missed its expectation of -$0.05 by -$0.31. The second quarter of 2023, on the other hand, had a +900% surprise, with EPS of $0.15 instead of the expected -$0.02.
These significant changes indicate that MicroStrategy's finances remain highly sensitive to fluctuations in the crypto market, as pointed by analysts , making it challenging for traditional investors to estimate earnings and understand the company's financials.
The company is also going to discuss its second quarter results in a webinar at 5PM ET.
