Robinhood reported mixed results with revenue missing analyst estimates. El-Assal said this is due to "market volatility and natural cyclicality" and not due to weakness in the core business.

"While market volatility is likely to persist in the near term, we believe HOOD retains several levers (e.g., prediction markets, tokenization, international markets, retirement) that position the company to continue driving growth in less favorable market conditions," El-Assal said.

On prediction markets, the analyst says the offering is helping Robinhood's transaction-based revenues and could help the company achieve its goal of becoming the top platform for active traders, customer wallet share and the global financial ecosystem.

The analyst said Robinhood's preliminary January metrics show "signs of stabilization" across several areas, including crypto trading volumes.

"We view the January uptick in crypto trading volumes as particularly important as HOOD has been disproportionately punished for a weaker crypto trading outlook."

El-Assal said Robinhood shares may be getting hurt despite the segment making up around 17% of total revenue in the fourth quarter.

"We continue to view current price levels as compelling for longer-term investors."

Robinhood reported a strong fourth quarter, but the outlook was weak, Todaro said in a new investor note.

"Prediction markets were a particular standout and January volumes have started off strong, coming in at an ATH for the company (3.5 billion contracts)," Todaro said.

Strength in prediction markets could help the company offset the weakness it has in cryptocurrency volumes. Todaro predicts weakness for crypto volumes for the next two quarters before things rebound for the company.

Todaro highlights upcoming sports events such as March Madness, the FIFA World Cup and 2026 elections that could further boost prediction markets volume.

The analyst lowered 2026 estimates and the price target on HOOD stock as a result of the lower expected crypto trading volumes and potential weakness in options and equity trading as well.

"We believe with a more advanced equity and options and robust margin product offering, HOOD becomes closer to a one-stop shop for all things financial services."
