Robinhood (HOOD) Stock: CFO Sells $411K as Shares Slide 33% Year to Date

Robinhood Markets, Inc., HOOD

The transaction reduced Vermas stake by 9.56%, leaving him with 51,771 shares valued at around $3.89 million.

The sale was carried out under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that Verma adopted on August 20, 2025. These pre-planned programs are set up in advance, so the timing doesn‘t necessarily reflect a view on the stock’s direction.

Prices across the multiple transactions ranged from $73.44 to $76.36, close to where HOOD was trading at the time.

HOOD shares have had a rough stretch. The stock is down 33% year-to-date and 28% over the past six months. It currently trades around $75.65, well below its 52-week high of $153.86, though above its 52-week low of $29.66.

The stocks 50-day moving average sits at $105.27 and its 200-day moving average at $117.67 — both well above the current price, a sign of the sustained selling pressure.

Mixed Q4 Earnings

Robinhood reported Q4 earnings on February 10. EPS came in at $0.66, beating the $0.63 consensus by $0.03. Full-year EPS hit $2.12, topping projections by 2%.

Revenue, however, missed. The company posted $1.28 billion against analyst expectations of $1.32 billion — a 4% shortfall. That said, revenue was still up 26.5% year-over-year, compared to the same quarter in 2024.

Net margin stands at 42.10% and return on equity at 22.32%.

Analyst Reactions

Several firms trimmed their price targets following earnings. Needham cut its target from $135 to $100 while keeping a Buy rating. Goldman Sachs reduced its target from $152 to $130, also maintaining Buy. Cantor Fitzgerald lowered its target to $100, pointing to Robinhoods 2026 expense outlook as a concern. Truist cut to $120, calling the results “frustrating with few positives.”

Not everyone turned cautious. Bernstein held its target at $160 and Citizens JMP kept its Market Outperform rating with a $180 target, highlighting the earnings beat.

Across 24 analysts, 17 rate HOOD a Buy, six have it at Hold, and one has a Sell. The average price target is $121.71 — roughly 61% above the current price.

Institutional investors own about 93% of HOOD stock. Recent buyers include Jennison Associates, which picked up a new stake worth approximately $322.8 million in Q3 2025.

HOOD trades at a P/E ratio of 36.5, which InvestingPro flags as elevated relative to its Fair Value assessment.

The stocks beta of 2.43 reflects its history of sharp moves in both directions.

Analysts forecast full-year EPS of $1.35 for the current fiscal year, per MarketBeat consensus data.
