Cantor Fitzgerald downgrades Coincheck stock rating to Neutral on volume concerns

Investing.com - Cantor Fitzgerald downgraded Coincheck Group N.V. (NASDAQ:CNCK) from Overweight to Neutral on Friday, while reducing its price target to $6.00 from $9.00. The stock, currently trading at $4.58, has declined over 56% in the past year, according to InvestingPro data.

The downgrade reflects the research firm’s reduced estimates for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, based on expectations for lower trading volumes and decreased take-rates for the cryptocurrency exchange.

Cantor Fitzgerald has adjusted its valuation approach for Coincheck, now valuing the business at 5.6 times fiscal year 2026 estimated enterprise value to gross profit, down from its previous multiple of 8.4 times.

The research firm indicated the lower valuation multiple is "more appropriate given growth rate and scale relative to larger and more capitalized peers" in the cryptocurrency exchange sector.

Coincheck Group, which operates one of Japan’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has faced increasing competition in the digital asset trading space as the market continues to evolve.

In other recent news, Coincheck Group N.V. reported fourth-quarter revenue that exceeded analyst expectations. This announcement was made on Tuesday, highlighting the company’s financial performance. Additionally, KeyBanc has initiated coverage on Coincheck with a Sector Weight rating. The research firm noted Coincheck’s significant presence in Japan’s cryptocurrency market, where it holds a 20% market share. These developments reflect Coincheck’s position in a well-regulated market. Investors may find these updates relevant as they consider the company’s standing and future prospects.
