Wolfe Research appearance: strategy, growth vectors, and product road map
Robinhood’s Steve Quirk spoke at Wolfe Research’s Wealth Symposium today (10:15 a.m. ET). The company had pre-announced the session and says a replay will be available for at least 90 days on its investor relations site. Coverage and transcript snippets emphasize continued product velocity (from active-trader tools to advisory offerings), sustained net deposit growth, and international expansion as core levers.

The appearance follows a blowout quarter last week. In Q3 2025, Robinhood reported record revenue of $1.27 billion (+100% YoY), diluted EPS of $0.61 (+259% YoY), net deposits of ~$20.4 billion, and 3.9 million Gold subscribers. Management also noted that 11 business lines are now running at roughly $100M+ annualized revenue. The release flagged October momentum across equities, options, prediction markets and futures.

Context helps here: the company closed its acquisition of Bitstamp in June (accelerating global crypto capabilities) and earlier this year closed the TradePMR acquisition to build out advisor-facing custody and referral infrastructure—both key to the longer‑term mix shift beyond transaction revenue.

Zacks taps HOOD as “Bull of the Day”
In a fresh research note published overnight and syndicated by Nasdaq, Zacks Equity Research designated Robinhood Markets (HOOD) as Bull of the Day, pointing to rising earnings estimates, expanding product breadth (from advisory to crypto), and the stock’s strong year‑to‑date performance. The piece frames HOOD as a buy‑on‑strength setup amid consolidation after a large multi‑month run. As always, investors should weigh methodology—Zacks leans heavily on estimate revision trends—against their own risk tolerance. Nasdaq
Form 144 today: Rubinstein Jonathan J Trust
Regulatory filings show that Rubinstein Jonathan J Trust submitted a Form 144 dated Nov. 12, 2025, covering a proposed disposition of 42,430 shares of HOOD. The filing indicates the activity is under a Rule 10b5‑1 plan and references an approximate sale date of Nov. 11, 2025 with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney as broker. Refinitiv’s brief and the SEC’s archive entry align on the details. Filings like these do not imply a view on fundamentals by the issuer; they disclose planned sales by an insider or affiliate.

Stock action on November 12, 2025
By mid‑afternoon, HOOD traded near $132.72, up modestly on the day, after ranging between $128.50 and $133.94. For context, Robinhood joined the S&P 500 in September—often a structural support for liquidity as index funds adjust—after a year of sharp operational and financial improvement. Reuters
Leadership transition remains a near‑term watch item
Separately from today’s news, remember the CFO change disclosed with Q3 results: Jason Warnick plans to retire in early 2026 and transition to an advisory role; Shiv Verma, a longtime finance executive at Robinhood, will succeed him. Expect investors to keep an eye on opex discipline and capital allocation through that handoff. GlobeNewswire
Why today’s developments matter
- Narrative continuity: The Wolfe session reinforces the same story told in Q3—broader product mix, deeper engagement, and a stronger international/crypto footprint post‑Bitstamp. That helps explain why estimate revisions have trended upward and why momentum‑oriented shops are highlighting HOOD. GlobeNewswire
- Flows and ownership:Form 144 filings are routine but worth logging, especially after a year of sharp gains; they can create incremental supply in the near term without necessarily changing the long‑term thesis. SEC
- Catalyst path: The October Monthly Metrics slated for Thursday, Nov. 13 (4:05 p.m. ET) offer the next high-frequency read on trading volumes, margin balances, and net deposits—metrics that have lined up with revenue outperformance in recent quarters. Robinhood Investors
