- Third-quarter net revenue reached USD 1.42 billion, while net income fell year over year.
- Rothera crossed USD 100 million in annualized revenue during its first full quarter of operation.
- Record equity, options and event-contract activity is offset by weaker crypto revenue and lower net interest revenue.
Robinhood Markets reported its third-quarter 2026 results on October 27, with a new revenue contributor and a broader product base standing out alongside weaker crypto activity. The company's investor release said Rothera exceeded USD 100 million in annualized revenue during its first full quarter of operation, while Robinhood also announced 17 new products and features at its September summit.
At Lang & Schwarz, Robinhood Markets stock was EUR 82.12 on October 29, 2026, at 5:45 p.m. Berlin time. That was up from the EUR 80.88 previous close in the licensed quote. A verified Xetra closing price for the relevant comparison was not available, so no Xetra daily difference is stated.
New business lines broaden the platform
According to the Robinhood investor release, total net revenue rose 12 percent year over year to USD 1.42 billion. Transaction-based revenue increased 19 percent to USD 867 million, supported by USD 173 million from event contracts, USD 399 million from options and USD 121 million from equities.
The mix also shows the risks investors need to weigh. Crypto revenue fell 55 percent to USD 120 million, while net interest revenue declined 9 percent to USD 415 million. Net income decreased 14 percent to USD 476 million, including USD 67 million of unrealized losses primarily related to Robinhood Ventures Fund I. Adjusted EBITDA, by contrast, rose 9 percent to USD 808 million.
Efficiency target lowered at the top
Robinhood lowered the upper end of its 2026 adjusted operating expenses and share-based compensation outlook by USD 25 million, to USD 2.75 billion from USD 2.775 billion. The lower end remains USD 2.675 billion. This is a modest efficiency signal, but operating expenses still rose 16 percent year over year to USD 739 million in the quarter.
Customers and activity continued to expand. Funded customers reached 28.7 million, Gold subscribers rose to 5.2 million and total platform assets reached USD 396 billion. Equity notional volume hit USD 992 billion, while event contracts traded reached 16.4 billion; crypto notional volume declined 38 percent to USD 50 billion.
Robinhood Markets stock is listed on Nasdaq under ticker HOOD. For investors, the key question is whether growth in options, equities, event contracts and newer businesses can offset pressure on crypto monetization and interest income. A report by 247WallSt likewise highlighted the contrast between record prediction-market activity and pressure on older revenue engines.
