Q2 beat but Q3 guidance below estimates, mixed signals.
Marqeta reported second quarter results with revenue of $176 million, beating analyst estimates of $173.3 million, and EPS of $0.07 versus estimates of $0.01. CEO Mike Milotich attributed the quarter's success to 32% growth in total payment volume and the rising scale of non-Block enterprise clients. During the earnings call, analysts asked about the impact of declining Cash App new issuance, the composition of the 90% increase in average deal size, stablecoin card development, balancing profitability with reinvestment, and competitive positioning in credit. CFO Patti Kangwankij noted that most major contract renewals are now behind, reducing risk. Marqeta's revenue guidance for Q3 CY2026 is $174.7 million at the midpoint, below analyst estimates of $179.5 million.
