Popular trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) has been red hot in 2025, touching a new record high of $85.55 in intraday trading on Wednesday, June 25. This was fueled by a resurgence of interest in crypto and a nearly 16% rise in Bitcoin (BTCUSD) prices in the year to date.
Should investors jump in now, or did they miss the breakout?
Founded in 2013 and based in Menlo Park, California, Robinhood (HOOD) has become famous for introducing commission-free stock trading. The company’s platform enables users to trade stocks, options, and perhaps most importantly, cryptocurrencies. Robinhood has a market cap of $72.6 billion.
Unlike the broader market that suffered under new tariffs from President Donald Trump, Robinhood thrives in the chaos. Volatility fuels its trading engine, attracting users eager to seize every market move. As trading volumes surge, so does investor confidence. HOOD has soared 273% over the past year, climbed 31% in just one month, and hit a record high on June 25.
On April 30, Robinhood delivered a stellar Q1 2025 performance, turning heads on Wall Street. Revenues surged 50% year over year to $927 million, as users engaged more deeply, pushing average revenue per user to $145, rising by 39%. EPS crushed expectations, leaping 106% annually to $0.37, while adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled to $470 million.
But the real punch came from transaction-based revenues, soaring 77% to $583 million. With 25.8 million funded customers and $221 billion in platform assets, Robinhood is showing muscle where it counts.
But this is not just about numbers. Robinhood is sharpening its edge for serious traders. It launched a sleek prediction markets hub in March, tapping into event-driven trading. Add in its latest AI-powered tools, banking upgrades, and advisory offerings, and Robinhood is evolving to own the next chapter.
Analysts tracking Robinhood are upbeat about Robinhood’s earnings growth trajectory, estimating Q2 EPS growth of 38.1% to $0.29. Looking further ahead, for 2025, EPS is expected to surge by 12.8% to $1.23.
