Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD)

Action: Buy (2nd Recommendation)

Date: February 5, 2026

Buy Price: $72.68

Original Recommendation (April 21, 2025): READ

Update

Since our original recommendation at $39.85 in April 2025, Robinhood shares rallied strongly throughout much of the year, reaching highs near $150 before pulling back sharply in recent weeks. The decline appears largely tied to broader sector rotation away from high-growth technology stocks and weakness across the crypto market.

Robinhood’s share price has historically been sensitive to crypto sentiment, as digital asset trading contributes a meaningful portion of transaction-based revenues. However, crypto represents only part of the business. The platform now generates revenue from multiple sources, including Robinhood Gold subscriptions, net interest income, equities and options trading, prediction markets, and other expanding financial services.

Operationally, the business continues to progress. Platform assets remain strong at more than $300 billion, net deposits continue, and the company is expanding its financial ecosystem through additional products and services, including developments related to crypto custody and the Bitstamp acquisition.

While the stock has been volatile, there has been no meaningful deterioration in the company’s broader strategy of building a comprehensive digital financial platform.

Bottom Line

The recent sell-off appears driven primarily by sector rotation, crypto weakness, and typical volatility associated with high-growth fintech stocks.

Robinhood continues diversifying its revenue streams through subscriptions, interest income, and financial services while expanding the platform’s capabilities. The company now operates across more than eleven business segments, generating meaningful revenue, supported by over 26 million funded customers.

At $72.68, the current valuation offers an attractive opportunity to build on our original position as the company continues executing its long-term transformation.

We are comfortable averaging up from our original entry and are issuing a second buy recommendation for Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD). We plan to hold the position through 2030 and beyond as a high-conviction growth investment in the Dream Picks portfolio, while recognizing that significant volatility will likely remain part of the story.
