Investing.com - Barclays raised its price target on {{1172292|{{1172292|{{1172292|Coinbase}}}} Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN)}} stock to $365.00 from $352.00 while maintaining an Equalweight rating following the company’s completed acquisition of crypto options exchange Deribit. The stock, which has gained nearly 65% over the past year and currently trades at a P/E of 28.5, continues to show significant momentum. InvestingPro data reveals the company maintains a GOOD financial health score, with analyst targets ranging from $185 to $510.

Coinbase announced Thursday the closure of its $2.9 billion acquisition of Deribit, revealing that July transaction revenues from the acquired platform exceeded $30 million. The third quarter financial results will include Deribit’s transaction revenues from August 14 through September 30.

The cryptocurrency exchange disclosed that Deribit will add $10 million to technology and development (T&D) and general and administrative (G&A) expenses in the third quarter, representing an annual run-rate of approximately $80 million. Coinbase indicated that sales and marketing expenses related to the acquisition would be immaterial.

Coinbase also mentioned a "material" but unquantified increase in deal-related amortization, which Barclays noted should not impact adjusted EBITDA or adjusted EPS metrics.

Barclays estimates the deal appears approximately 5% accretive to adjusted EBITDA per share, based on an annual run-rate of roughly $280 million in adjusted EBITDA as implied by third-quarter-to-date revenues and expenses, while accounting for 11 million in incremental shares and the loss of interest income on approximately $700 million of corporate cash. With a current market capitalization of $83.5 billion and strong liquidity metrics, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is trading above its Fair Value, with 10+ additional ProTips available for subscribers.
