Robinhood Q3 Earnings Preview: Will Bulls Tout Turnaround On Heels Of X1 Deal?

Zinger Key Points
  • Robinhood reports Q3 earnings on Nov. 7 after market close.
  • Will the company be able to turnaround its financials this time?

Robinhood Markets Inc HOOD will be reporting its third-quarter (Q3) earnings on Nov. 7 after market hours.

The Menlo Park, California-based company is popular among younger investors due to its user-friendly platform and zero-commission trading. Wall Street analysts expect Robinhood to report a negative 10 cents in EPS and $478.41 million in revenue.

Here's what analysts will be focusing on, and how the stock currently maps against Wall Street estimates.

Business & Fundamentals: Many brokerages, such as Interactive Brokers IBKR, now offer the same zero-commission moat that Robinhood offers.

Robinhood is reflecting some rebound in sales and income, along with a decline in operating expenses. Transaction revenues have also begun to stabilize. Moreover, the company stands to benefit from high-interest rates. Interest revenues comprise the most significant portion of Robinhood’s total net revenues (48% of Q2 revenue).

The X1 acquisition could be disruptive for the business, and HOOD bulls may start touting a turnaround potential from here.
