HIVE Digital Technologies (NASDAQ: HIVE) is a Vancouver-based technology company. Its main activities include digital currency mining, where it has mined 2,885 Bitcoin in the last fiscal year. The company is also expanding into high-performance computing (HPC) hosting services as it pivots towards artificial intelligence (AI).
HIVE reported an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.22, which missed the consensus analyst estimate of -$0.21. EPS shows how much profit, or in this case loss, is made for each share of company stock. This report follows a previous quarter where the company posted a loss per share of $0.38.
The company also announced revenue of $78.70 million for the quarter. This figure fell just short of the estimated $79.17 million. As highlighted by Benzinga, analysts had widely anticipated HIVE would report revenue closer to $80 million for its fiscal fourth quarter.
This miss comes even as HIVE’s total revenue for the fiscal year reached $297.80 million, a 158% increase from the previous year, as highlighted by Newsfilecorp. The majority of this, $278.80 million, came from digital currency mining, while HPC services contributed $19.50 million.
Despite its losses, HIVE has a negative price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of -15.81. This metric compares a company's stock price to its earnings. From a balance sheet view, its current ratio of 1.74 indicates a strong capacity to meet short-term financial obligations.
