On August 13, Robinhood rose 3.57% in regular trading, trading at $98.815/share, with turnover of $145 million. The rally was driven by a dual catalyst of a Goldman Sachs target price upgrade and the successful pricing of the company's venture fund IPO.
Goldman Sachs raised its price target on Robinhood from $118 to $123 while maintaining a Buy rating. The analyst consensus average target now stands at $124.73 with an overweight rating, reflecting broad institutional confidence. On the same day, Robinhood Ventures Fund II (RVII) announced the completion of its IPO pricing, with a total fund size of $225.5 million, potentially reaching $255.5 million if underwriters exercise the full overallotment option. The fund had launched its roadshow on August 3.
These developments come on the heels of a strong Q2 earnings report, in which Robinhood posted EPS of $0.62 versus the $0.42 consensus estimate — a 47.6% beat — while revenue of $1.31 billion grew 32% year-over-year. Transaction-based revenue surged 44%, and management tightened full-year adjusted operating expense guidance to $2.675–2.775 billion, signaling disciplined cost control.
