Robinhood Markets IncStock fell despite beating Q2 estimates, with lowered 2026 expense guidance.

Robinhood reported second-quarter earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street expectations, yet the stock declined in subsequent trading. The company posted earnings per share of $0.62 on revenue of $1.31 billion, surpassing the average analyst estimate of $0.43 per share on revenue of $1.28 billion. Even after excluding a one-time $0.14 per share benefit from the deconsolidation of Robinhood Ventures Fund I, adjusted earnings of $0.48 per share still came in well ahead of forecasts. Robinhood also lowered its 2026 guidance for non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses and stock-based compensation to a range of $2.675 billion to $2.775 billion, down from the prior $2.7 billion to $2.825 billion, citing new efficiencies that also funded its Rothera and WonderFi businesses. Despite the negative market reaction, the article argues long-term investors should not abandon the stock, pointing to strong double-digit growth in platform assets, net deposits, average revenue per user, and Robinhood Gold subscribers, along with expansion into new business verticals.
