NEW YORK, Feb 8, 2026, 07:04 ET — Market’s closed.
- Robinhood shares bounced back Friday, finishing roughly 14% higher after tumbling earlier in the week.
- Crypto-linked names like Robinhood and Coinbase got a boost as Bitcoin bounced back.
- Next up: Robinhood reports earnings Feb. 10, and traders are watching closely for any hints about trading appetite and how much crypto is in play.
Robinhood Markets (HOOD.O) jumped almost 14% on Friday, ending a three-day losing streak. Bitcoin held firm, and U.S. equities had their strongest session in months.
Why does it matter? Robinhood’s reputation as a barometer for retail speculation means its shares tend to track the wild moves in crypto prices and overall trading activity. Ahead of Tuesday’s earnings, investors are left guessing: did the latest turbulence lift the firm’s transaction revenue and bring users back, or push them away?
Robinhood shares wrapped up Friday at $82.82, gaining $10.15 on the day. The stock moved in a range from $73.60 to $84.95.
Bitcoin bounced back above $70,000, while the Dow surged past the 50,000 mark for the first time ever—fueling a broad rebound that pulled up Coinbase Global as well.
Truist Securities slashed its price target on Robinhood to $130 from $155 on Friday, but stuck with its Buy rating. The firm argued the recent selloff may have gone too far, considering how much crypto contributes to Robinhood’s revenue. A price target reflects where analysts think the stock will be trading in a year.
Truist’s David Smith kept his Buy call, that’s per a GuruFocus report.
Traders are eyeing crypto this week, tracking both risk-taking in tech and whether retail volume drops off after the recent rollercoaster. Bitcoin was last seen up roughly 4% at $70,900.
Robinhood is set to report its Q4 and full-year 2025 numbers after the bell on Feb. 10. CEO Vlad Tenev and soon-to-be CFO Shiv Verma will join a video call at 5 p.m. ET to discuss the results.
Bulls face a real risk here. If Friday’s bounce doesn’t hold, another crypto slide could eat into trading revenue—and shares might tumble right back to last week’s lows.
Tuesday’s report and call loom as the obvious next catalyst. Investors are zeroing in on clues about crypto trading volumes, appetite for options, and what’s happening with net interest. The tone from management on the coming quarter will get close attention too.
