Initially, the <a href="https://news.todayq.com/marathon-digitals-failed-bitcoin-mining-experiment-sparks-share-price-drop/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stock price tumbled</a> 6.9% to $8.55, on the same day Marathon announced its results. But as per Google Finance, the stock rebounded by 4.3% in after-hours trading after the earnings call was released.
On the other hand, financial analyst Jaran Mellerud weighed in on Marathon’s stock valuation. He pointed out that Marathon, along with other mining companies, has a high “enterprise value-to-sales ratio.” This metric reflects a company’s worth in relation to its revenue. Mellerud indicated that a high ratio often suggests overvaluation.
According to <a href="https://news.todayq.com/are-stocks-of-marathon-digital-and-riot-platforms-overpriced/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Mellerud’s analysis</a>, Marathon is among the companies with a ratio of 5.6, alongside Cipher, with 7.8, and Iris Energy at the same ratio. Riot closely follows with a ratio of 5.5.
Mellerud credited this overvaluation to <a href="https://news.todayq.com/vanguard-has-poured-a-total-of-620-million-into-bitcoin-mining-firms-marathon-and-riot/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">investments from major players</a> like BlackRock and Vanguard. They have driven these companies’ stock prices higher. However, he predicted that this trend may shift. It may potentially lead to the rise of new and more popular companies in the crypto mining sector.
