Updated: November 5, 2025

At a glance: Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) reported Q3 2025 net income of $556 million ($0.61/share) on $1.27 billion in revenue, powered by a surge in retail trading. Management also disclosed a CFO transition beginning in early 2026. Shares finished today’s regular session up about 4.4% at $142.76 ahead of the 5:00 p.m. ET earnings webcast. [1]

What happened today

  • Earnings out after the bell. Robinhood said Q3 profit “nearly quadrupled” year over year as retail traders leaned into an AI‑fueled market rally. Transaction‑based revenue more than doubled to ~$730 million, with equities +132%, crypto +300%, and options +50% versus last year. Premium Gold subscribers reached ~3.9 million (+77% YoY). [2]
  • CFO succession. Longtime finance chief Jason Warnick will retire in 2026. Shiv Verma, a company insider, has been named successor. [3]
  • Event timing. The Q3 2025 earnings livestream is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. PT). [4]

By the numbers (Q3 FY2025)

  • Revenue:$1.27B, +100% YoY
  • Net income:$556M, +271% YoY
  • Diluted EPS:$0.61, +259% YoY
  • Transaction‑based revenue:$730M (mix: crypto, options, equities as noted above)
    These headline figures come from the company’s release and same‑day coverage. [5]

How that stacked up vs. expectations: Ahead of the print, Wall Street looked for ~$1.21B in revenue and ~$0.54 in EPS, implying a beat on both lines with $1.27B and $0.61 reported. [6]

Market reaction

  • Price action: HOOD closed +$5.96 (+4.36%) at $142.76. Today’s move followed a volatile week into earnings. (Intraday high: $144.72; low: $135.33.)
  • Context: Robinhood joined the S&P 500 in September, a milestone that broadened its investor base. [7]

What’s driving results

  • Retail momentum & product breadth. Reuters highlights robust retail participation and a broader product suite—prediction markets (via Kalshi), UK futures, and an expanding premium tier—as tailwinds for engagement and monetization. Gold subscribers rose to ~3.9M. [8]
  • Trading mix.Equities, crypto, and options volumes all expanded significantly year over year, lifting transaction‑based revenue to ~$730M. [9]

What to watch next

  1. Guidance and October trends: Management said Q4 started strong in October with record monthly activity across several products—listen for color on sustainability into year‑end. [10]
  2. CFO transition details: Timelines and priorities for incoming CFO Shiv Verma, and any changes to capital allocation or expense cadence. [11]
  3. Crypto sensitivity: With crypto revenues up sharply, HOOD remains sensitive to digital‑asset volumes and volatility. (Recall Q4 2024/Q1 2025 crypto‑led surges.) [12]
  4. Regulatory backdrop: Robinhood’s crypto unit cleared a high‑profile SEC probe earlier this year, reducing one overhang; any new policy signals still matter. [13]

Analyst setup heading into the print

Consensus heading into today called for EPS ~$0.54 and revenue ~$1.21B, with several outlets noting ~90% YoY top‑line growth and a strong year‑to‑date run for the stock. Options markets were pricing a sizable move into the event. [14]

Bottom line

On November 5, 2025, HOOD delivered a powerful quarter—beating Street revenue and EPS estimates, unveiling a planned CFO handover, and underscoring the role of retail trading and new products in its growth story. With the earnings call set for this evening, investors will be focused on Q4 trends, crypto mix durability, and expense discipline as the company heads into the holiday quarter. [15]

  • Gannett Earnings: Caution Over Unusual Items and Tax Benefits
    November 7, 2025, 7:20 AM EST. Gannett's latest earnings beat might reassure shareholders, but our analysis flags several caveats. The last twelve months' statutory profit benefited from significant unusual items and a rare tax benefit, which can overstate underlying profitability. Historical patterns suggest such boosts may not repeat, potentially eroding next year's earnings power. Gannett also posted a sizable tax credit in the latest period, a one-off that may not recur. Taken together, these factors imply that the reported profits could be of low quality and risk giving an overly optimistic view. We identify warning signs that deserve attention before investing, and we caution readers to consider core operating trends alongside headline numbers.
  • Stocks slide as Apollo economist warns of historically extreme valuations amid AI-driven rally
    November 7, 2025, 7:18 AM EST. Markets retreated as the S&P 500 and Dow slipped and the Nasdaq shed about 2%, while the VIX jumped more than 9%, signaling continued turbulence. Apollo chief economist Torsten Sløk argues the S&P sits at historically extreme valuations using the Buffett indicator and the Shiller CAPE, with 2025 an especially conspicuous outlier. Some Wall Street voices warn of a reckoning, with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs CEOs predicting a potential 20% selloff over the next two years. UBS's Mark Haefele says the pullback is unlikely to stem from valuations alone, but could come as earnings expectations weaken; he sees robust earnings growth this year (about 10% for S&P 500 EPS) and roughly 7.5% next year. AI capex remains a key driver of valuations, raising questions about future gains and the pace of productivity improvements, per Lisa Shalett.
  • Nasdaq Dives to Two-Week Low as AMD and Palantir Lead Tech Selloff
    November 7, 2025, 7:16 AM EST. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled about 1.8% to a fresh two-week low as investors rotated away from high-growth tech names. The Nasdaq-100 also declined, with most components in negative territory. Advanced Micro Devices fell 6.6% on concerns about slowing data-center chip demand and intensified AI hardware competition, trimming part of its rally after solid Q3 guidance. Palantir Technologies dropped 6.4%, pulling back after a sharp YTD climb as investors lock in profits amid broader market weakness. Risk-off sentiment weighed on AI names that powered 2025 gains. Traders are awaiting upcoming inflation data and Fed commentary for signs whether this pullback is a pause or the start of a deeper correction.
  • Village Farms International (VFF) posts 235% one-year gain; revenue up 42%, profitability unresolved
    November 7, 2025, 7:15 AM EST. Village Farms International (NASDAQ:VFF) delivered a 235% total return over the past year, though the stock fell about 10% in the last month. Over the last twelve months, revenue rose around 42%, signaling topline momentum even as the company remained not profitable. The lack of earnings makes near-term valuation sensitive to future profits, though insiders have been buying, a potential bullish signal. Investors should focus on whether profitability can materialize and how forecasts align with continued revenue growth. The stock's strong short-term run contrasts with a longer-term caveat, underscoring the need for thorough research and consideration of risk factors before chasing gains.
