Shares of Robinhood Markets fell 6% after the company reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results. The online trading platform posted fourth-quarter revenue of $1.28 billion. This missed analyst estimates of $1.34 billion according to data compiled by LSEG.
Meanwhile, Robinhood’s quarterly profit dropped significantly. It fell to $605 million, or 66 cents per share, down from $916 million, or $1.01 per share, in the previous quarter. The decline reflects lower earnings despite steady revenue.
The stock performance hurt investor sentiment after market hours. Despite the dip, Robinhood remains a key player in the retail trading industry. The results highlight ongoing challenges in maintaining growth and profitability.
In addition, the company faces a competitive environment with evolving customer preferences and regulatory attention. However, Robinhood’s platform continues to attract millions of users worldwide. The company will need to address these issues to regain investor confidence.
Robinhood’s earnings shortfall could impact its stock valuation and investor sentiment in the near term.
