Robinhood stock jumps 14% as bitcoin rebounds — what to watch before HOOD earnings

New York, Feb 7, 2026, 08:51 EST — Market closed

  • Robinhood ended Friday up 13.95% at $82.82 after a sharp, crypto-driven selloff
  • Bitcoin climbed back above $70,000, lifting crypto-linked brokers and exchanges
  • Next test for HOOD: quarterly results and outlook due next week

Robinhood Markets shares jumped 13.95% on Friday to close at $82.82, snapping a four-session slide. The stock is still down about 17% from its Jan. 30 close.

The bounce matters because Robinhood has been trading like a high-beta read on retail risk appetite. When crypto steadies, the stock tends to follow. When it doesn’t, the stock can get dragged.

With U.S. markets shut for the weekend, traders now shift to the next update from the company and the next lurch in digital assets. The near-term set-up is simple: crypto price action, then Robinhood’s read on customer activity.

Bitcoin climbed back above $70,000 on Friday after dropping to $60,017.60 earlier in the session, its weakest level since October 2024. “It feels like a day of consolidation for risk assets that have been under pressure this week,” said Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank. Derive.xyz head of research Sean Dawson said demand for bitcoin downside protection was “extreme” in the options market. Reuters

Crypto-exposed peers moved in tandem. Coinbase Global rose 13% on Friday to close at $165.12, a day after it fell 13.34%.

The rally spilled into the broader tape as well. The Dow closed above 50,000 for the first time on Friday, while bitcoin’s rebound helped lift crypto-related stocks.

Robinhood is set to report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on Tuesday, after the market close. The company said it will host a video call with CEO Vlad Tenev and incoming CFO Shiv Verma at 5:00 p.m. ET, and that shareholders can submit questions through Monday.

Investors will be looking for signs that trading activity held up through the recent swings. The focus is usually on transaction-based revenue from options, equities and crypto, plus net interest income — the spread it earns on customer cash and margin lending.

But the crypto market has not settled. Bitcoin is down nearly 20% since the start of the year, and Thursday’s break below $70,000 fed talk of a deeper washout. “It’s clear the crypto market is now in full capitulation mode,” said Nic Puckrin, an investment analyst and co-founder of Coin Bureau. Reuters

A filing also showed insider selling this week. Chief Legal Officer Daniel M. Gallagher Jr sold 10,000 Robinhood shares on Feb. 3 at prices ranging from about $85.55 to $90.33, leaving him with 393,612 shares, the Form 4 showed.

For now, HOOD heads into the new week with momentum from Friday’s rebound — and the same old dependency on crypto prices. The next clear catalyst is the company’s results and what it says about customer engagement going into 2026.
