  • Robinhood Markets Shares Dive 13% After Q1 Earnings Miss
    April 29, 2026, 5:55 PM EDT. Robinhood Markets shares fell 13.24% to $71.20 following its Q1 2026 earnings report, which missed revenue and earnings per share (EPS) estimates. Trading revenue rose 7% year-over-year to $623 million, but slower growth and a 47% decline in crypto trading revenue weighed on sentiment. Crypto trading, a key segment, suffered due to recent digital asset price declines. Robinhood's market cap stands at $74 billion, with trading volume surging 132% above average to 76.7 million shares. The company is focusing on real-world asset tokenization, an emerging blockchain use case recording ownership digitally, aiming to diversify revenue. Meanwhile, the broader market saw minimal moves: the S&P 500 slipped 0.04% and the Nasdaq inched up 0.04%. Peer Charles Schwab rose 0.36%, while Interactive Brokers dropped 0.57%, underscoring mixed investor reactions across financial services.
