I'm investing in Robinhood Markets, Inc. because it's one of the few fintechs generating serious free cash flow. I like that it's completely debt-free, with a rock-solid balance sheet and over $5 billion in cash and securities. With HOOD stock at 26x forward free cash flow, I believe I'm paying a very reasonable multiple for a business still growing at 15%+.
Since President Trump's Liberation Day announcement, HOOD stock is down just 5% as of the April 10 close. This compares to returns of down 7% and down 8.5% for the S&P 500 Index and the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund NYSEARCA: XLF, respectively.
Robinhood Markets (HOOD) has received quite a bit of attention from Zacks.com users lately. Therefore, it is wise to be aware of the facts that can impact the stock's prospects.
Robinhood Markets (HOOD) was a big mover last session on higher-than-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions might not help the stock continue moving higher in the near term.
Equity markets recently dipped due to concerns of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, with the latest trigger being President Trump's trade wars. The S&P 500 index's performance over the trailing-12-month period no longer looks quite as impressive as it did at the start of 2025 -- the equity index is down nearly 1.5% over this period.
Robinhood (HOOD -9.95%) stock has been on a tear as the company has grown its business, but early data for 2025 indicates investors should reduce their growth expectations. In the video below, Travis Hoium explains why Robinhood is still a growth company, but volatility is ahead in 2025.
Discount broker Robinhood Markets (HOOD 1.26%) has quickly established itself as an important force in the brokerage industry. Offering free trades, for example, led to a massive change in the way brokers competed on cost.
Believe it or not, but Robinhood (Nasdaq: HOOD) is still up year-to-date.
Robinhood (HOOD 1.20%) held another Gold event last week, introducing even more products for Robinhood Gold customers, including investment planning and banking services. This could help the company attract more customers and grow assets under custody, which Travis Hoium covers in this video.
The financial markets had a spectacular year in 2024. Every major U.S. stock index soared to an all-time high, and even the total value of the cryptocurrency market set a new record of $3.9 trillion.
Robinhood Markets, Inc. NASDAQ: HOOD, the platform synonymous with commission-free trading and the surge of retail investor activity in recent years, is making a dramatic pivot. Known for democratizing access to stock, options, and cryptocurrency markets, the company is now setting its sights on the core territory of traditional finance: banking and wealth management.
HOOD is rolling out wealth management and private banking services to retail investors.
