The good --> 87% of analysts tag MARA as a buy. This is not indicative of them beating earnings, but rather a view of MAra as a long term hold
The bad --> EPS estimate was reduced and MAra has a historically poor time of beating earnings. General sentiment and thoughts about MARA earnings are negative
Final Thoughts --> I would probably wait until after earnings to take a position in MARA, I think they have been hammered down recently but provide a solid investment if you are looking for a decent, well-known crypto miner.
