Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 18 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | +20.8% | Strong revenue and gross profit growth with positive adjusted EBITDA. |
| Aug 14 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | -4.6% | Strong revenue and mining gains but ongoing net loss weighed on shares. |
| May 20 | Q1 2025 earnings | Neutral | -7.0% | Revenue beat and gross profit return offset by sharply wider net loss. |
| Mar 26 | Q4/FY 2024 earnings | Positive | -12.9% | Strong Q4 growth and positive EBITDA but large net loss persisted. |
| Nov 20 | Q3 2024 earnings | Positive | +5.0% | Revenue beat and major hashrate growth despite continued operating loss. |
Earnings headlines often tout strong revenue growth, but price reactions have been mixed, especially when losses remain large.
Over the past year, Canaan’s earnings releases have consistently highlighted rapid revenue and hashrate growth, with total revenue rising from US$73.6M in Q3 2024 to US$150.5M in Q3 2025. However, net losses and fair value swings around crypto assets and preferred shares have kept profitability volatile. Some earnings, like Q3 2025, saw a strong positive 20.75% move, while other upbeat quarters, such as Q4 2024, triggered double‑digit declines, underscoring inconsistent market confidence.
Historical Comparison
Past year, CAN’s 5 earnings releases averaged a modest 0.25% move, with both sharp rallies and selloffs. Today’s 2.85% gain sits within that historical variability for earnings reactions.
Earnings releases show a progression of rising revenues, expanding computing power, and improving gross profit from 2024 into 2025, but with recurring net losses and fair value swings keeping profitability unstable.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights continued revenue acceleration and a return to gross profit, alongside record computing power sold and expanding bitcoin and ETH holdings. However, sizable operating and fair-value-driven losses persist. Recent history shows mixed market responses to similar earnings, with both rallies and selloffs around results. Investors may focus on loss trajectories, capital-raising history, and the existing Nasdaq minimum-bid notice as they assess execution and balance-sheet resilience.
