Reason
Mizuho lowered the firm's price target on Coinbase (COIN) to $280 from $320 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm's survey of over 230 Coinbase and Robinhood (HOOD) users indicates strong engagement with the prediction markets. Coinbase and Robinhood users are 9-times more likely to participate in prediction markets versus non-users, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Mizuno expects expect Robinhood to see greater medium-term revenue upside, supported by "fresh capital inflows" and a Q4 run-rate of $300M. It trimmed Coinbase's price target to reflect softer than initially expected Q4 trends and lower bitcoin price levels.

Reason
Compass Point lowered the firm's price target on Coinbase (COIN) to $230 from $266 and keeps a Sell rating on the shares ahead of the company's product event scheduled for December 17. Robinhood (HOOD) hosted a similar crypto event on June 30, which supported Robinhood's 41% rally in June and Coinbase investors are now asking whether Coinbase's upcoming event can provide a similar catalyst, notes the analyst, who highlighted three product announcements the firm is expecting. However, the firm doesn't believe these materially impact Coinbase's P&L and the firm could see the event disappointing investor expectations. Softer crypto markets reduce the firm's 2026 forecasts, adds the analyst, who sees Q4 revenue is tracking about 5% below the Street view.
