Wall Street Is Bullish On HOOD Stock: Here’s Why

Wall Street analysts and experts have increasingly been touting Robinhood’s strong performance and future growth potential. Last week, Bank of America raised the price target on Robinhood to $140 from $132 and maintained a ‘Buy’ rating on the shares after its second-quarter results, citing a strong organic growth trajectory and robust levels of retail activity.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer also endorsed the stock after its quarterly results, saying on ‘Mad Money’ that “I think Robinhood has a winning site, and I think it's going to continue to do well.”

Meanwhile, last month, Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), called Robinhood’s new blockchain network one of 2026’s biggest crypto success stories, highlighting its rapid trading-volume growth and more than $1 billion in dollar volume just weeks after its July 1 launch.

Last month, Robinhood reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.62 for Q2, beating analysts’ estimates. Revenue climbed 32% year over year to a record $1.31 billion, also exceeding Wall Street expectations.
