what it is
MARA runs giant computer fleets to mine bitcoin and keeps part of the bitcoin it produces.
how it gets paid
Trailing revenue runs on the order of ~$907M (mining segment narrative and risk section below)—not $59M, which was a merged scrape error on the same page.
why growth slowed
vs. prior year revenue percent swings with bitcoin price, fleet energization, and what hits GAAP in a given quarter—use the 10-Q trend, not a single headline vs. prior year.
what just happened
Latest quarter: revenue on the order of ~$230M (÷4 of ~$907M TTM) unless your filing shows otherwise—prior $47M / 178% sat on the bad $59M TTM. EPS $0.90 may include non-operating marks; check basis.

What they do
MARA runs giant computer fleets to mine bitcoin and keeps part of the bitcoin it produces.
MARA’s edge is brute scale. It ran about 400,000 mining rigs and 53.2 exahashes per second at the end of 2024. Hashrate (computing power used to mine bitcoin) → more chances to win blocks → if you want exposure, scale gives MARA more shots than a smaller miner.

$907M trailing revenue
It generated $907M in trailing revenue, but the company still lost $1.31B. Scale is real. Profitability is the problem.

That is 48% of capital, which means your upside rides on bitcoin while a huge debt stack sits there waiting.

trailing p/e
P/E (price-to-earnings ratio) → what investors pay for profits → the stock looks cheap if those profits hold.

Hashrate (mining compute power) → block-winning capacity → scale is the closest thing this business has to an operating edge.

Miner GAAP earnings swing with BTC marks, energy costs, and impairment—ignore vendor “margin %” artifacts; use cash generation and debt.

What just happened
profit rebound
Quarterly revenue on the order of ~$230M (vs ~$907M TTM ÷ 4) with EPS $0.90—verify non-operating items in the release.
Prior copy mixed $59M TTM with $907M elsewhere; that is impossible. This page now anchors to ~$907M TTM to match the mining card and risk math—still a business that swings hard with bitcoin economics.

What could go wrong
the #1 risk is bitcoin mining economics staying worse than the narrative.
med
Losses are bigger than the business
MARA reported a $1.31B net loss on $907M of revenue. When losses exceed sales, you are not debating valuation first. You are debating business durability.
Impact: with ~$1.31B net loss on ~$907M revenue (filing roll-up), net income is deeply negative versus sales—treat giant “net margin %” as arithmetic on those dollars, not a second operating metric.
med
Leverage meets volatility
Long-term debt stands at $3.3B, or 48% of capital, while price stability is just 5 / 100. That is a hard combination in any capital-intensive business.
Impact: debt does not care whether bitcoin prices cooperate. The balance sheet still has to carry the story.
med
The AI pivot has more narrative than proof
The diversification story rests on a 64% stake in Exaion. This page shows ownership, but it does not yet show a disclosed AI revenue stream large enough to change the financial profile.
Impact: if the AI buildout stays conceptual, investors are left with the original mining economics and a premium story that may compress.
med
Forecasts are fragile here
Earnings predictability is 10 / 100. The next quarter's EPS estimate is $0.0205 after -$1.55 in the same quarter last year. That is not stability. That is dispersion.
Impact: when forecast ranges are wide, cheap multiples can stay cheap because nobody trusts the denominator.
A business with $907M of trailing revenue, a $1.31B net loss, and $3.3B of long-term debt does not get much room for execution misses.

Pay attention to
earnings
Q1 2026 earnings
Estimated EPS is $0.0205 versus -$1.55 in the same quarter last year. Improvement is good. The question is whether it is durable.
profitability
Whether losses stop outrunning sales
Losses versus ~$907M TTM revenue are the number that matters. If net income does not improve vs that denominator, the rest of the story is decoration.

Proof that Exaion is becoming a business
MARA owns 64% of Exaion. You want disclosed traction, not just strategic language around AI infrastructure.

Debt load under volatile conditions
$3.3B of long-term debt and price stability of 5 / 100 means financing risk is part of the thesis whether you like it or not.
Analyst rankings
earnings predictability
10 / 100
Earnings are hard to model here. In human-speak, analysts do not trust this business to produce smooth numbers.
risk rank
4
Safer than 20% of stocks means riskier than most of the market. You are being paid in volatility, not comfort.
price stability
5 / 100
This stock does not glide. It lurches. That matters if your thesis depends on patience and financing access.
