Why Is Circle Internet Group, Inc. (CRCL) Up 63.1% Since Last Earnings Report?
Circle Internet Group (CRCL) stock surged 63.1% following its Q2 2026 earnings beat, driven by strong USDC circulation growth (up 19% YoY to $73.3B), improved profitability (EPS of $0.18 vs. loss of $4.48 prior year), and expanded RLDC margins (41.2% vs. 38.2%). However, reserve income growth was tempered by lower interest rates. The company raised 2026 guidance for other revenues and RLDC margins, with Arc Mainnet launch scheduled for September 16, 2026. Despite the rally, Zacks assigned a Hold rating citing flat estimate revisions and a poor Value Score.
