Coinbase Global (COIN) is aiming to become the top “everything exchange,” with new products, partnerships with banks, and strategic acquisitions like Vector, Echo, Deribit, and Liquifi. Their 2026 focus includes real-world asset perpetuals, DeFi, and AI. They’re also entering the prediction market with Kalshi and investing in on-chain market development.

Robinhood Markets (HOOD) is focusing on growth through innovation and global expansion, with acquisitions to expand its product reach. Interactive Brokers (IBKR) is exploring growth opportunities in emerging markets like Taiwan, Mexico, and India, and expanding its European business. Both companies are enhancing their global presence.

Shares of COIN have outperformed the industry year-to-date. However, COIN’s high price-to-earnings ratio of 45.14, above the industry average of 24.2, and a Value Score of F suggest an expensive valuation. Estimates for COIN’s fourth-quarter 2025 and first-quarter 2026 EPS have seen no recent revisions.

COIN is anticipating year-over-year revenue increases in 2025 and 2026, though EPS estimates show a decline in 2026. The stock currently holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR) and Coinbase Global, Inc. (COIN) are also highlighted for further stock analysis.

Coinbase Ventures is focused on capitalizing on opportunities in crypto, DeFi, and AI. The company believes the next phase of DeFi needs to be more efficient and flexible, offering credit and competing with traditional finance. COIN sees this as a trillion-dollar opportunity and plans to bring exotic asset exposure on-chain.

Director of Research Sheraz Mian has named a top stock pick with explosive upside potential, targeting millennial and Gen Z audiences. The company generated nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter. This could outperform previous Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging, which gained over 129% in less than 9 months.
