CleanSpark, Inc. (CLSK) stock plummeted 11.81% in the pre-market trading session on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024. The sharp decline came after the Bitcoin mining company reported weaker-than-expected fiscal year 2024 earnings results.
CleanSpark reported a net loss of $145.8 million or $0.69 per share for the full year ended September 30, 2024. The company's earnings fell short of analysts' consensus estimate of a $0.49 per share loss. Additionally, CleanSpark's revenue of $378.9 million for the fiscal year missed Wall Street's expectations of $394.9 million.
Despite the earnings miss, CleanSpark highlighted its impressive revenue growth of 125% year-over-year. The company also ended the fiscal year with a current hashrate surpassing 33.5 EH/s and is on track to reach 37 EH/s by the end of 2024. However, the impact of the recent Bitcoin halving event and an increase in network difficulty likely offset the benefits of higher Bitcoin production, leading to the wider-than-expected loss.
