MARA Holdings has seen its shares under pressure over the past few years while the business shifts away from pure Bitcoin exposure toward AI and high performance computing. This puts the spotlight squarely on what investors are paying for its sales today. With that backdrop, the key issue is whether the current valuation of the stock is adequately supported by the revenue the company is generating and expects from its changing operations.
- Over the past 5 years the share price has fallen 88.0%, which raises a direct question about how much of the original sales expectations are still being reflected in today's market value.
- The planned US$1.5b Long Ridge gas plant acquisition and the broader move toward AI and computing services can reshape MARA Holdings' revenue mix and timing. This matters for how investors weigh its price against its existing sales base.

Has MARA Holdings Run Too Far on Sales?
P/S is the cleaner yardstick for MARA Holdings right now because earnings and free cash flow are both in the red, while revenue still provides a clearer anchor. The stock trades on a P/S of 3.2x, a small discount to the wider software industry on 3.5x and a much lower level than the peer group average of 12.3x for similar AI and infrastructure plays.
That gap looks less generous once the tailored fair multiple is taken into account. On this framework, MARA Holdings screens overvalued on sales relative to what its mix of growth prospects, margins, size and risk profile would usually justify. Despite the FERC approval for the US$1.5b Long Ridge gas plant lifting interest in the AI and power story, the current P/S still asks investors to pay a premium compared with what the model implies for this revenue base.
