On July 30, Robinhood fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $87.58/share, with turnover of $8.32 billion. The decline extends the post-earnings selloff that began after the company reported Q2 results on July 29.
Robinhood posted Q2 EPS of $0.62, beating consensus estimates of $0.42 by 47.6%, while revenue of $1.31 billion grew 32% year-over-year and exceeded the $1.28 billion estimate. Transaction-based equities revenue reached $129 million versus the $125.1 million consensus. Despite the headline beat, the stock dropped 5.11% in after-hours trading and continued declining into the next session. Market participants noted that the prior rally had already priced in optimistic expectations, and that a portion of the EPS outperformance stemmed from one-time investment gains, raising quality-of-earnings concerns.
Additionally, management lowered and narrowed its full-year adjusted operating expense and stock-based compensation guidance to $2.675-$2.775 billion, intensifying investor worries about the earnings outlook. Deutsche Bank cut its price target to $114 from $120 while maintaining a Buy rating, and Director Bhatt Baiju sold approximately $4.68 million in shares on July 24, reducing direct holdings by 93%.
