3%Robinhood Markets (HOOD) has earned a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) after a second-quarter report that beat estimates and lifted its outlook. Total platform assets rose 32% year on year to $369 billion, and total revenue climbed 32%. GAAP earnings grew 48%, beating Zacks estimates by 41%. Gold subscribers rose 39% to 4.8 million. The company now has 13 business lines that each earn about $100 million or more in annualised revenue. On September 29, it unveiled Robinhood Agents, AI tools that can analyse markets and trade for users. The stock is down about 30% from its October 2025 peak, at roughly $109 a share. The average Zacks price target implies 25% upside.
Interactive Brokers held approximately $965 billion in client equity across 5.6 million accounts as of September, averaging roughly $173,000 per account. In contrast, Robinhood had $384 billion in platform assets spread across 28.6 million funded customers, averaging about $13,400 each. The disparity reflects their target markets. Interactive Brokers serves sophisticated investors, hedge funds, and financial advisors across over 200 countries. Robinhood primarily attracts newer investors "just beginning their financial journeys." The difference shapes their revenue models. Interactive Brokers generated 56% of its second-quarter net revenue from net interest income, which grew 23% year-over-year to $1.06 billion. Robinhood's revenue tilts toward transaction-based sources, which comprised 59% of its $1.31 billion second-quarter net revenue. Robinhood is pursuing larger balances through retirement accounts and its TradePMR acquisition, though closing the gap with Interactive Brokers will likely take years.
Robinhood Crypto explores new product with $1.9T AUM T. Rowe Price. Highlights * Robinhood Crypto and T. Rowe Price Digital Assets explore a potential partnership. * The firms plans to launch Stock Token tied to actively managed ETFs to Robinhood Chain. * Robinhood offers over 190 Stock Tokens linked to stocks and ETFs. Robinhood Crypto said it is exploring a potential collaboration with $1.9T AUM asset manager T Rowe Price to bring tokenized exposure to actively managed exchange-traded funds to Robinhood Chain. The firm stated that a successful outcome would be a first Stock Token of its kind. In an X post on October 9, Robinhood Crypto revealed plans to launch a Stock Token linked to an actively managed ETF on Robinhood Chain. It is under discussion with T Rowe Price Digital Assets to bring an actively managed ETF on its chain. "It would be the first Stock Token of its kind. Institutions are here, and our rails are ready," Robinhood Crypto wrote. The collaborations and a Stock Token tied to an actively managed ETF are subject to requirements including legal due diligence, issuer board approval, final terms, and regulatory clearances in relevant jurisdictions. Robinhood already offers over 190 Stock Tokens linked to stocks and ETFs including NVIDIA, Google, Apple, and Invesco QQQ on its Ethereum layer-2 network Robinhood Chain. These tokens function as tokenized debt securities, providing economic exposure to underlying U.S. stocks and ETFs. Holders do not receive voting rights or direct legal ownership of the underlying securities. The tokens trade 24/7 through supported wallets and venues, carry on-chain price feeds, and reinvest dividends through a multiplier rather than cash distributions. The stock tokens are backed one-for-one by securities held with a custodian. The latest proposed product by Robinhood differs because it would track an actively managed ETF by T Rowe Price rather than a single stock or a passive, index-tracking fund. In an actively managed ETF, the portfolio composition, weightings, and trades change according to the asset manager's decisions. As CoinGape recently reported, Robinhood bought Bitcoin for the first time for its corporate balance sheet. Johann Kerbrat, SVP and GM of International & Crypto at Robinhood, confirmed the trading firm bought $25 million in Bitcoin.

Robinhood Markets shares have fallen 24% over the past twelve months, despite revenue rising 32% in fiscal Q2 2026. A mathematical model suggests the stock could gain roughly 60% over three years if the company maintains 30% annual revenue growth and its current high net margin holds. The projection assumes continued customer trading activity and deposit inflows. In Q2, transaction volumes hit record levels across most asset classes, whilst the platform added nearly 1 million funded customers and reached 4.8 million Gold subscribers. The analysis indicates net margin poses the biggest risk to returns. If margins revert to their three-year average of 16.9%, projected gains would disappear entirely. Revenue growth could slow to 11.2% annually before eliminating returns, assuming margins hold. Robinhood reports third-quarter results on 27 October 2026.
