Amid Robinhood's stock price surge, fueled by regulatory easing and a cryptocurrency boom, analysis suggests there is still room for further upside.

According to crypto media outlet Watcher.Guru on April 19 (local time), Robinhood (HOOD) surged approximately 31% in the past week, reaching around $90 per share and emerging as the top-performing stock within the S&P 500 index. A key reason for this rise is the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)'s repeal of the existing $25,000 pattern day trading rule.

This regulatory change significantly lowers the barrier to entry for individual investors in short-term trading, directly aligning with Robinhood's business model, which champions 'financial democratization'. Combined with the recent upward trend in the cryptocurrency market, expectations of increased platform usage have driven the stock price surge.

Performance indicators are also robust. In Q1 2026, cryptocurrency trading revenue increased by 47.5% year-over-year to $38 million, forming part of the total trading revenue of $441 million. The company's crypto assets also grew to $11.5 billion, a 36% increase compared to Q4 2022.

The subscription service 'Gold' also continues its growth. Annual subscribers increased by 58% year-over-year to 4.2 million, and prediction markets estimate a 99% probability of Q1 subscribers exceeding 4.2 million and a 76% chance of surpassing 4.4 million. Total revenue for 2025 reached an all-time high of $4.47 billion.

Wall Street's outlook is also positive. The average target price provided by 17 institutions over the past three months is $104.56, suggesting approximately 15.22% upside potential from the current price. Applying the past four-year average growth rate of 77.5%, a long-term price of over $160 is considered possible. However, the market is also paying attention to the volatility regarding whether further gains will follow after the short-term surge.
