MSTR's disciplined approach to capital raising through various equity offerings, including Strike (STRK), Strife (STRF), STRD (Stride), and STRC (Stretch), has been a key factor in its success. The company's fixed income securities, such as convertible notes, STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD, have raised $2 billion, $0.94 billion, $2.52 billion, $1.13 billion, and $1.02 billion, respectively [1].
The company's strategic focus on bitcoin has been particularly rewarding. MSTR expects to achieve a bitcoin yield of 30% and $20 billion in gains by the end of 2025, assuming the bitcoin price reaches $150,000 [1]. This projection is based on the company's year-to-date yield of 25% and a second-quarter 2025 yield of 19.7%.
In terms of competition, MSTR is expected to outperform its peers in 2025. The company estimates operating income of $34 billion, net income of $24 billion, and earnings of $80 per share, based on a bitcoin price outlook of $150,000 at the end of the year [1]. In contrast, competitors Riot Platforms (RIOT) and MARA Holdings (MARA) are projected to incur net losses of $0.5 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively [1].
MSTR's stock performance has been impressive, with shares appreciating 18.5% year to date, outperforming the broader Zacks Finance sector's return of 11.8% [1]. The company's stock is trading at a premium, with a forward 12-month price/sales ratio of 2.03X compared to MARA Holdings' 1.19X and Riot Platforms' 1.49X [1].
In a recent development, MicroStrategy Incorporated received a 'Buy' rating from Canaccord Genuity with a price target of $464. This rating remains unchanged from previous assessments, reflecting the company's strong fundamentals and growth prospects [2]. The average target price for MSTR is $516.85, with an average brokerage recommendation of 2.1, indicating an 'Outperform' status.
