Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital (GLXY) heads lower after earnings

Galaxy Digital (GLXY) shares are lower by a bit more than 5% in pre-market action after reporting quarterly results.

Galaxy’s $85 million net loss narrowed from $216 million in the first quarter, while its diluted and adjusted loss narrowed to $0.09 per share from $0.49. Street forecasts had been for a loss of $0.28 per share.

Its digital assets operation generated $66 million in adjusted gross profit, up 34% quarter-on-quarter, despite a 7% decline in trading volume.

Galaxy’s data center business generated revenue for the first time in the quarter as the company completed the initial phase of its Helios campus in West Texas.

The segment generated $20 million in adjusted gross profit and $11 million in adjusted EBITDA, reversing a $900,000 adjusted EBITDA loss in the first quarter. Galaxy delivered 200 megawatts of gross power, representing 133 megawatts of critical IT capacity, to CoreWeave under a 15-year lease.

The firm’s results, however, could have disappointed as they did not include a new data-center customer or lease, though Galaxy said it remains in discussions with prospective tenants for another 830 megawatts of approved capacity at Helios.
