Investing.com - Guggenheim initiated coverage on MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MARA) with a Neutral rating on Tuesday. The stock, currently trading at $20.73, has shown significant volatility with a beta of 6.35 and a notable 59% surge over the past six months, according to InvestingPro data.

The research firm described MARA as an industry leader in network capacity, measured in EH/s, that primarily generates revenue through Bitcoin transaction validation and associated fees.

Guggenheim noted that MARA recently announced the acquisition of a 64% stake in Exaion, a developer and operator of high-performance computing (HPC) data centers.

The acquisition provides MARA with "strategic optionality beyond BTC mining," according to the research firm’s analysis.

Guggenheim views the risk/reward as balanced at current levels, particularly given MARA shares’ correlation with Bitcoin price movements, leading to the Neutral rating as it awaits "further clarity on strategic direction." The company maintains a P/E ratio of 12.07 and analysts have set price targets ranging from $18 to $30, reflecting the market’s mixed sentiment on its future prospects.
