Riot Platforms Set to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?

Riot Platforms, Inc. RIOT will report second-quarter 2025 results on July 31, after market close.

RIOT’s earnings surprise history is not impressive. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one of the four trailing quarters and missed in the other three, delivering an average negative earnings surprise of 60.6%.

RIOT’s Q2 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is set at $152.8 million, indicating more than 100% year-over-year growth.

The 17.8% rise in Bitcoin prices over the past six months is expected to have benefited the top line. That being said, other factors that are likely to have aided revenues include higher deployed hash rate from the completion of the first phase of the Corsicana Facility and higher engineering revenues from the E4A Solutions buyout.

RIOT’s plan for long-term value creation by diversifying into the AI/High-Performance Computing data center business at the Corsicana site is likely to have supported its revenues.

The consensus estimate for loss is pegged at 19 cents per share, whereas it reported earnings of 32 cents per share last year. Our anticipated loss per share is likely to have narrowed due to improved efficiency from acquiring Rhodium mining operations.
