On Thursday, the asset management firm Bernstein initiated coverage on Robinhood shares, assigning an "outperform" rating based on the projection that the company’s cryptocurrency revenues would amplify ninefold by 2025, adding that its "full suite crypto offering within a regulated broker platform is in a sweet spot."
The firm anticipates the cryptocurrency market's total valuation to escalate to $7.5 trillion by 2025, up from the current $2.6 trillion.
The brokerage said Robinhood had a competitive edge over rivals like the Coinbase exchange, due to lower fees and the reluctance of traditional brokers to enter the crypto trading domain. Mid-February, Robinhood revealed an unexpected quarterly profit and outlined its goal for 'profitable growth' in 2024.
Driven by a surge in activity from retail traders, Robinhood's core clientele, the brokerage has thrived as Bitcoin breached its 2021 peak, exceeding $73,000, alongside the S&P 500 index setting new records this year.
Despite facing challenges with declining active user numbers, Robinhood has successfully increased revenue per customer. The shares closed at a more than two-year high on Wednesday, although they still fall short of their $38 IPO price in July 2021.
According to 13 analysts surveyed by TipRanks that offered 12-month Robinhood stock price targets, the consensus forecast for HOOD last stood at $15.58 — a potential 15% downside from its price of $18.31 on March 14, 2024.
The highest listed Robinhood share price forecast on TipRanks was $30, while the lowest was listed at $11. Of the 13 analysts surveyed, four offered a Buy rating on HOOD stock, while six gave it a Hold and three rated it a Sell.
