On September 16, Robinhood fell 3.42% in regular trading, trading at $107.19/share, with turnover of $242 million. The decline came as the U.S. Department of Justice announced fraud charges against two Robinhood employees, adding significant legal overhang to the stock.

The DOJ fraud charges compounded existing negative sentiment. Earlier, the stock had already been under pressure after releasing August operating data showing funded accounts reaching 28.6 million, up 1.9 million year-over-year, which initially triggered a 1.07% decline in after-hours trading on September 11 and continued weakness into the following sessions. The broader crypto sector selloff on September 15, with Robinhood falling over 4% alongside peers such as Coinbase and Circle, further weighed on shares. Recent insider sales exceeding $4.16 million by the Chief Brokerage Officer and General Counsel also dampened market sentiment.

Despite the near-term headwinds, Wall Street maintains a broadly constructive outlook. Needham raised its price target to $123 on September 16, while Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and Piper Sandler hold buy-equivalent ratings with targets ranging from $138 to $145, and the consensus mean target stands at $133.06.
