Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD) is experiencing a pre-market decline of 3.57%, hitting a 20-day low, as broader market indices like the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 are down 1.82% and 1.49%, respectively.
The recent downturn in Robinhood's stock is occurring amid significant market weakness, which has raised concerns about the company's future performance. Despite a remarkable 1,100% increase over the past three years, driven by strong sales and earnings growth, the current valuation risks and potential declines in trading volumes due to market conditions could impact investor sentiment. Analysts are cautious as the company has not yet faced a bear market since going public, and any downturn could lead to a correction in stock prices.
As Robinhood continues to expand its cryptocurrency offerings, the company is navigating a challenging market environment. The recent decline in stock price highlights the importance of maintaining strong performance metrics to meet high investor expectations, especially in light of potential market volatility.
Wall Street analysts forecast HOOD stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for HOOD is 156.24 USD with a low forecast of 130.00 USD and a high forecast of 181.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Reason
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Ramsey El-Assal assumed coverage of Robinhood with an Overweight rating and $130 price target. The company's growth runway keeps getting longer as it capitalizes on secular trends for digital financial services with rapid product innovation and consistent execution, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Robinhood's younger customer demographic vs. peers also positions the company to capture incremental wallet share as customers' financial needs expand, and the firm views the company's current valuation and price levels as attractive, Cantor added.

Reason
Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish says Robinhood's preliminary December metrics indicate its transaction revenue could slightly miss estimates in Q4. Robinhood's December share picked back up in options and Bitstamp, but declined slightly in equities and more so in crypto app volumes, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes a larger miss relative to Q4 consensus estimates in crypto sales should be nearly offset by stronger other revenue, driven primarily by the prediction markets. It keeps an Overweight rating on Robinhood with a $171 price target.
