<p class="has-drop-cap">Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN) reported its unaudited financial results for the <a aria-label="first quarter of 2024 (opens in a new tab)" href="https://investor.canaan-creative.com/news-releases/news-release-details/canaan-inc-reports-unaudited-first-quarter-2024-financial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">first quarter of 2024</a>, ending March 31. <br><br>The company announced revenues of $35.1 million, exceeding its previous guidance of $33 million by 6%. Mining revenue saw a significant sequential increase of 182.1%, reaching $10.5 million. The company also achieved a milestone by surpassing 1,000 Bitcoins (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-invest-in-bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">BTC</a>) held, ending the quarter with 1,057 Bitcoins. Net loss for the quarter was $39.4 million, narrowed by 71.7% sequentially and 53.3% year-over-year.</p>
<p>Canaan’s CEO, Mr. Nangeng Zhang, attributed the strong performance to strategic foresight and resilience, especially as the company navigated through the last full quarter before the <a href="https://tokenist.com/how-bitcoin-halving-can-affect-the-crypto-stocks-bottom-line/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Bitcoin halving</a>. Despite the traditionally slow first quarter, Canaan delivered 3.4 million Thash/s of computing power sold, driving their mining revenue to impressive heights.</p>
<p>Introducing new A1566 mining machines and continued demand for the A14 series post-halving were also highlighted as key factors in their success. Zhang emphasized the company’s relentless sales efforts and the optimization of mining operations as central to their robust topline performance.</p>
<h3 id="canaan-beats-eps-and-revenue-expectations-in-q1">Canaan Beats EPS and Revenue Expectations in Q1</h3>
<p>When comparing the current quarter’s performance against expectations, Canaan outperformed significantly. The company had set a revenue guidance of $33 million but achieved $35.1 million, a 6% increase over their forecast. <br><br>This strong revenue performance is particularly noteworthy given the expected earnings per share (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">EPS</a>) for the quarter was -$0.2, while the actual EPS came in narrower, reflecting a net loss of $39.4 million. This narrowing of losses by 71.7% sequentially and 53.3% year-over-year indicates substantial progress in the company’s financial health.</p>
<p>The market had anticipated challenges for Canaan in the first quarter, given the traditional slow season and the imminent Bitcoin halving. However, the company exceeded these expectations, showcasing its ability to adapt and thrive under less-than-ideal conditions. The sequential growth in mining revenue by 182.1% and the increase in Bitcoins held to a record high further underscore Canaan’s robust operational capabilities and strategic execution.</p>

<h3 id="canaan-provides-optimistic-guidance-for-upcoming-quarter">Canaan Provides Optimistic Guidance for Upcoming Quarter</h3>
<p>Looking ahead, Canaan provided guidance that reflects cautious optimism. The company expects continued growth in mining revenue and computing power sales, driven by the new A1566 mining machines and sustained demand for the A14 series. <br><br>The <a href="https://tokenist.com/retail-investors-flock-to-bitcoin-etfs-as-inflation-fears-drive-btc-past-70k/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs</a> in the U.S. and Hong Kong markets, a record-high Bitcoin price, and the seamless completion of the fourth Bitcoin halving are positive industry developments that could bolster Canaan’s performance in the coming quarters.</p>
<p>The bullish cycle for Bitcoin, spurred by recent industry milestones, is expected to attract more investment and interest, providing Canaan opportunities to enhance its market position and financial results further.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
