Wall Street analysts tend to lower price targets when stocks decline. It's understandable, as the fundamentals driving the stock's decline obviously affect its future performance. In the case of Gemini, the decline in cryptocurrency prices is negatively impacting both its transaction revenue and custodial fee revenue, as it tends to reduce the value of the cryptocurrency assets on its platform.
On a more positive note, the company continues to grow its services revenue, notably its credit card revenue. Moreover, some analysts view management's decision to cut the workforce by 25%, exit the UK, EU, and Australian markets, and expand in the U.S. and grow its prediction markets business.
Where next for Gemini Space Station
Currently loss-making and facing administrative challenges following the departure of its three C-suite executives, namely its Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer, and Chief Operating Officer in February, the stock is a speculative investment that is only likely to appeal to risk-seeking investors.
