Read MoreHide Full Article
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD - Free Report) . Shares have added about 7.9% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Robinhood Markets due for a pullback? Well, first let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the recent drivers for Robinhood Markets, Inc. before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late.
Robinhood Q3 Earnings Beat on Trading & NIR Surge
Robinhood’s third-quarter 2025 earnings per share of 61 cents handily surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 51 cents. Moreover, the figure compared favorably with earnings of 17 cents in the prior-year quarter.
Results benefited substantially from solid trading activity across all asset classes amid heightened volatility, which led to a jump in transaction-based revenues. Further, higher net interest revenues (NIR), a surge in Gold subscribers and an improvement in Monthly Active Users (MAU) were tailwinds. However, higher expenses were an undermining factor.
Net income (GAAP) was $556 million, jumping significantly from $150 million in the year-ago quarter.
Revenues Soar, Expenses Rise
Quarterly total net revenues soared 100% year over year to $1.3 billion. Moreover, the top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.2 billion.
During the quarter, average revenue per user (ARPU) increased 82% year over year to $191.
Transaction-based revenues of $730 million jumped 128.8% from the prior-year quarter. This was primarily driven by an improvement in options, equities and cryptocurrencies revenues, which jumped 50%, 132% and 300%, respectively.
NIR rose 66.4% to $456 million. This was mainly attributable to a higher interest-earning assets balance and securities lending activity, partially offset by lower short-term interest rates.
Other revenues increased 100% to $88 million, primarily due to a rise in Gold subscription revenues. During the reported quarter, its Gold subscribers jumped 77% year over year to 3.9 million.
Total operating expenses were $639 million, up 31.5%. The increase was primarily due to a rise in all the components. Adjusted operating expenses increased 34.8% to $535 million.
During the reported quarter, adjusted EBITDA jumped to $742 million from $268 million in the year-ago period.
Other Business Activities
As of Sept. 30, 2025, total platform assets soared 119% year over year to $333 billion. The rise was driven by continued net deposits, acquired assets and higher equity and cryptocurrency valuations.
Equity Notional Trading Volumes surged 126% in the quarter to a record $647 billion. Likewise, Options Contracts Traded rose 38% to 610 million, while Crypto Notional Trading Volumes (which includes Robinhood App and Bitstamp Exchange) were $80 billion.
Further, the company reported MAU of 13.8 million, up 25.5% year over year.
