Read MoreHide Full Article

Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD - Free Report) shares rallied 5.5% in the last trading session to close at $11.83. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 19.8% gain over the past four weeks.

Shares of Robinhood gained for the third consecutive trading day. The rally that is being witnessed in the cryptocurrency market will likely have a positive impact on HOOD’s business. The company buys and sells Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other cryptocurrencies using its Robinhood Crypto platform. Hence, increased investor interest in these digital assets will support the company’s top line growth. This favorable development drove the HOOD stock higher.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +97.1%. Revenues are expected to be $469.21 million, up 47.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.

For Robinhood Markets, Inc., the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 5.6% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. And a negative trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't usually translate into price appreciation. So, make sure to keep an eye on HOOD going forward to see if this recent jump can turn into more strength down the road.
