Robinhood's Financial Trajectory Looks Upward With Fresh Strategy, Analyst Weighs In
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev reiterated a Buy rating on Robinhood Markets, Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD) with a price target of $15, citing the potential boost to 2024 adjusted EBITDA from a new 3-cent pass-through charge per option contract. Despite a decline in FY24 EBITDA estimates from over $660 million to $560 million since Q3 reporting, Dolev believes the market has not fully accounted for the impact of the pass-through charge. He raised his EBITDA estimate to $562 million from $533 million and projected Q4 revenue and EBITDA at $484 million and $117 million, respectively. HOOD's stock was slightly down at $10.98.
