According to TheFly, the brokerage noted that Robinhood is one of the most popular financial services platforms, particularly among younger generations.
Cantor noted that with Robinhood taking market share in equity and crypto, the stock’s risk-reward ratio is attractive at current levels despite the year-to-date rally. The market is underestimating the firm’s potential within both equities and crypto, it noted.
