- Robinhood shares dropped roughly 6.6% in early trading, dragged down by a nearly 4% fall in Bitcoin that weighed on crypto-related stocks.
- The brokerage’s shares fell 12% in January, weighed down by concerns over its heavy reliance on crypto prices and trading volumes.
- Analysts remain divided ahead of the Feb. 10 results; some point to “oversold” indicators, while others caution the valuation offers little margin for error.
Shares of Robinhood Markets fell once more on Wednesday, dragged down by another decline in Bitcoin. The stock’s steep retreat shows no signs of easing, unsettling one of the market’s most volatile retail trading names.
This shift is crucial as Robinhood approaches its quarterly earnings, with investors zeroing in on whether crypto trades, options volume, and fresh offerings can sustain growth amid lingering risk concerns.
Timing poses another concern. Some market watchers say the recent dip in the stock stems from fast-moving factors — crypto prices, retail trading volume, and the fading buzz around event-driven products — putting extra pressure on the upcoming earnings and guidance.
A Nasdaq.com column noted that Robinhood shares dropped 12% in January, tracking closely with cryptocurrency moves and underscoring the firm’s sensitivity to shifts in digital-asset sentiment. Nasdaq
The same piece highlighted robust recent performance, with revenue doubling year over year in the third quarter of 2025. Crypto-trading revenue surged sharply, underscoring that crypto continues to be a key business driver.
A Yahoo Finance column reported that Robinhood’s 14-day relative strength index, or RSI—a momentum indicator tracking how heavily a stock has been sold—hovered near 23. Many technical analysts consider that to be “oversold.” Yahoo
Piper Sandler’s Patrick Moley told clients not to get spooked by the recent selloff, noting the end of the U.S. football season is a short-term “headwind” for prediction-market activity. Still, he argued other events could pick up the slack. He called the platform’s long-term growth potential “the best way to play secular growth in retail trading.” Barchart
Not everyone is convinced by the dip. Seeking Alpha contributor Akim Guerreiro flagged a potential “negative surprise” in the upcoming fourth-quarter earnings, pointing to softer activity trends and what he called a stretched valuation. He noted November’s month-over-month drops in funded accounts, stock trading volume, options volume, and crypto volume, suggesting fair value might be closer to $50-$60 per share. Seekingalpha
Robinhood is set to release earnings after the close on Feb. 10, according to Seeking Alpha’s calendar. Analysts expect revenue around $1.34 billion and normalized EPS of $0.69 for the quarter. Seekingalpha
The debate carries a sharp edge. Critics highlight valuation gaps compared to peers like Interactive Brokers and eToro, while bulls counter that Robinhood’s blend of crypto, options, and newer products provides extra leverage when retail risk appetite picks up.
But “oversold” isn’t a green light. If crypto prices keep falling and trading volumes don’t pick up, the technical picture could unravel quickly — and a single earnings miss or cautious forecast might trigger another sharp drop in a stock known for its volatility in both directions.
