On September 15, Robinhood fell 4.52% in regular trading, trading at $108.835/share, with turnover of $164 million. The decline represents an acceleration of selling pressure that began after the company released its August operating data.
Robinhood disclosed that funded accounts reached 28.6 million as of the end of August, up 1.9 million year-over-year. While the figure reflects continued user base expansion, the market reacted negatively, with shares initially dropping 1.07% in after-hours trading following the release, then falling a further 3.19% in pre-market before the decline widened during the regular session. Adding to bearish sentiment, SEC filings revealed that Chief Brokerage Officer Steven M. Quirk and General Counsel Daniel Martin Jr. collectively sold over $4.16 million in company stock in early September. Options market activity has also pointed to institutional caution, with notable bearish positioning including a $3.2 million bear call spread and a $2.685 million out-of-the-money put purchase flagged in recent sessions.
Notably, Wall Street consensus remains constructive, with an average overweight rating and a mean price target of $133.06. Deutsche Bank most recently raised its target to $138, while Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock to overweight with a $150 target earlier this month.
