As Robinhood investors await second-quarter earnings, expectations are sky-high.
The online broker, known for popularizing stock and crypto trading with young investors, has seen its shares surge 177% this year, outpacing all other U.S. techcompanies valued at $5 or more, excluding those that went public in 2025. The next best performer is Palantir, up 107%.
Robinhood’s pop this year follows a 192% rally in 2024. The company’s market cap now sits at $91 billion, putting it slightly behind Coinbase, one of its top rivals in the market for buying crypto.
Still, Robinhood was left out of the S&P 500 in the latest reshuffle, while Coinbase made the cut in May. Earlier this month, monitoring software company Datadog was added to the benchmark index as part of its quarterly change. Shortly thereafter, online ad company The Trade Desk and fintech firm Block joined the S&P 500, replacing companies that were getting acquired.
The index’s three newest companies are each worth tens of billions of dollars less than Robinhood.
Robinhood has another shot to show that it’s deserving when it reports quarterly earnings after the bell on Wednesday. Analysts expect the company to report revenue growth of 33% from a year earlier to $908 million, according to LSEG, with projected earnings per share of 31 cents.
Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at about $448 million, according to StreetAccount.
The rally reflects Robinhood’s transformation from a U.S. retail broker into a global fintech and crypto infrastructure platform.
While U.S. fintech funding fell 42% in the first half of 2025, according to Tracxn’s semiannual report, dealmaking accelerated, and Robinhood stands out as one of the most notable buyers.
In June, Robinhood acquired Bitstamp for about $200 million, gaining institutional trading rails, custody services, and more than 50 active licenses. In May, it agreed to buy Canadian crypto platform WonderFi for $179 million, expanding its regulatory footprint across North America.
Robinhood is finding significant traction in Europe, where the company has begun rolling out tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds, including synthetic shares of OpenAI and SpaceX, using blockchain.
The token launch this month came alongside a broader crypto push announced at Robinhood’s Cannes summit, where the company also disclosed plans for its own layer-2 blockchain optimized for real-world asset settlement. It also announced 24/7 trading and staking for Ethereum and Solana for its U.S. customers, a feature that allows users to earn rewards by supporting network operations.
Other enhancements allow users to tap more leverage for crypto investments and use tools that help minimize capital gains payments and get more advanced charting.
Analysts at Mizuho raised their price target on the stock to $99 following the launch in France, citing the company’s “unmatched product velocity” and availability in more than 30 countries in Europe.
‘We expect to be scrutinized’
There are potential regulatory hurdles to some of Robinhood’s efforts. Regarding the tokenized trading, the Bank of Lithuania, Robinhood’s lead regulator in the European Union, said it’s “awaiting clarifications” on the product. But in the U.S., SEC Chair Paul Atkins called the model “an innovation” on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told CNBC after the announcement that he is “happy to continue to answer questions from our regulators,” and said the company built its tokenized stock program to withstand scrutiny.
“Since this is a new thing, regulators are going to want to look at it,” he said. “And we expect to be scrutinized as a large, innovative player in this space.”
Robinhood declined to comment for this story.
In its first-quarter earnings announcement in late April, Robinhood reported a 77% increase in transaction-based revenue to $583 million. Crypto trading revenue doubled to $252 million, options revenue rose 56% to $240 million and revenue from equities increased 44% to $56 million.
This quarter, analysts are watching how that momentum holds up.
Analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald said in a note last month that it sees Robinhood continuing to gain share from larger brokers like Charles Schwab and Interactive Brokers, as well as from crypto exchanges such as Coinbase. The firm recently lifted its price target to $89 from $60, maintaining an overweight rating on the stock.
The challenge for investors is that Robinhood has zoomed past most analysts’ estimates, leaving plenty of room for disappointment. Its stock closed at $103.32 on Tuesday, down about $6 from its high on July 18. Among analysts tracked by FactSet, the average price target is $100.57.

Head back to school on Lectric’s XP Lite 2.0 folding e-bikes with $365 in free gear from $999, more bundles up to $654 off
Lectric has launched its Back to School Sale that is offering up to $654 in free gear accompanying e-bike purchases, with a bunch of models seeing increased bundle sizes this time around – plus some select accessory savings too. One such model is the XP Lite 2.0 Long-Range e-bikes that are all coming with $365 in free gear at $999 shipped, while the XP Lite 2.0 JW Long-Range e-bike gets the same bundle at $1,099 shipped.

Head below for more on these and the other deals during this sale.

Trump’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is rescinding every single Wind Energy Area (WEA) in US federal waters, wiping out over 3.5 million acres of zones once earmarked for offshore wind development.
This masochistic move is part of Trump’s January 2025 executive order halting all offshore wind leasing and ordering a review of wind permitting. It follows a new directive from his Interior Department — “Ending Preferential Treatment for Unreliable, Foreign-Controlled Energy Sources.”
This is pure propaganda politics, not energy policy.
Trump has spent years spreading lies about offshore wind farms, from calling them “bird graveyards” to wrongly blaming them for whale deaths. Now his administration is taking a wrecking ball to one of the country’s most promising clean energy industries – just as the aging US grid faces unprecedented strain from climate change, EV adoption, and the explosion of data centers that demand massive electricity.

Offshore wind is not unreliable. It’s already producing clean power for homes and businesses all over the world, including the US. In fact, many of the world’s most successful offshore wind developers — including European firms — have decades of experience building turbines in deep waters and tough weather. These companies work hand-in-hand with US firms, bringing expertise and creating good-paying American jobs, from manufacturing to port construction to long-term operations and maintenance.
The government’s rollback affects critical areas for future wind projects in the Gulf of Maine, New York Bight, Central Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, California, and Oregon. By removing these designated offshore zones, Trump’s BOEM is essentially canceling the roadmap for the US’s offshore wind future – one that would have powered millions of homes, stabilized energy costs, and brought climate benefits when we need them most.
Jason Walsh, executive director of the BlueGreen Alliance, released a statement in response to this destructive decision:
Donald Trump should support the country’s progress and do everything he can to foster more resources for the people. Instead, he is trying to wipe an entire sector of the energy industry off the board at a time when our electric grid is overburdened and electric bills are rising. Attacking offshore wind will put America behind its foreign competitors, kill jobs, and weaken our energy sector.
This isn’t just an energy issue – it’s a jobs issue, a climate issue, and a national competitiveness issue. At a time when we need more power on the grid, more affordable energy, and more tools to fight climate change, the Trump administration is deliberately dismantling a homegrown solution. We will all pay for it with our wallets, and our kids will pay with their futures. Europe and China’s offshore wind industries are leaving the US in the dust.

The Honda Prologue remained one of the top-selling EVs in the US after sales surged 83% in July. Honda’s electric SUV outsold the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Hyundai IONIQ 5 last month.
Honda Prologue EV sales charge up in July
Honda set several US sales records last month for light trucks (86,700) and electrified vehicles (38,715), including EVs and hybrids.
One of the biggest success stories has been the electric Prologue SUV. Honda sold another 6,318 Prologue models last month, up 83% from July 2024.
Although it may seem like nothing compared to the over 32,000 CR-Vs Honda sold last month, the Prologue outsold some of the most popular EVs in the US. It also just began delivering models last March.

Earlier today, Ford reported Mustang Mach-E sales of 5,308 last month, also a new July sales record. Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 set a new all-time monthly sales record, with 5,818 units sold. Despite the record performances, the Honda Prologue outsold both of them.
Through the first seven months of 2025, the Mach-E is still ahead. Honda sold 22,635 Prologue models through July. In comparison, Ford has sold 27,093 Mustang Mach-Es. Hyundai IONIQ 5 sales total 24,910 year-to-date.

Even Acura’s electric SUV, the ZDX, is selling surprisingly well. Although sales were down last month, with only 665 models sold, Acura has sold 11,000 models year-to-date. Through the first half of the year, it outsold the Cadillac Lyriq, which is based on the same GM Ultium Platform.
All of them, like many EVs, are currently heavily discounted, with the $7,500 federal tax credit set to expire at the end of September.
