Prediction trading company Robinhood Markets continued its winning streak in the third quarter of 2025, beating Wall Street expectations and consolidating itself as one of the top U.S. financial technology firms, according to CNBC.
Key Takeaways
- The Fintech firm reports better-than-expected Q3 results.
- Profits have more than tripled year-on-year.
- Robinhood has also been added to the S&P 500 stock market index.
The company reported earnings per share of $0.61, exceeding analysts’ forecasts of $0.53, and revenue of $1.27 billion, which was above the expected $1.19 billion, per data from the London Stock Exchange Group.
Revenue more than doubled compared to a year earlier, while net income climbed to $556 million, up from $150 million in the same quarter of 2024. Transaction-based revenue reached $730 million, slightly below estimates. However, Robinhood chief financial officer Jason Warnick highlighted the progress the company has made in diversifying its business.
“Q3 was another strong quarter of profitable growth. We continued to diversify our business, adding two more business lines: prediction markets and Bitstamp, which are generating approximately $100 million or more in annualized revenues,” Warnick said.
Robinhood’s growth strategy has also included expanding beyond retail trading into full-scale wealth management, and it has been competing directly with established firms such as Fidelity and Schwab.
Robinhood launches futures trading in UK
Robinhood also recently announced the launch of futures trading for U.K. customers. The launch will provide traders with access to over 40 products, including contracts from marketplace operator CME Group, based on the S&P 500, oil, and foreign exchange (forex).
The new service allows users to trade futures through the Robinhood app and the Robinhood Legend platform. Eligible U.K. customers will be able to start trading in the coming weeks, paying a $0.75 contract fee per trade in addition to standard exchange and regulatory charges.
President of Robinhood UK Jordan Sinclair stated the launch would alter the perception of futures trading as being solely the preserve of institutional investors. Julie Winkler, chief commercial officer at CME Group, believes the partnership will provide retail traders with access to some of the world’s most liquid futures markets.
Robinhood joins S&P 500
In another sign of its growing influence over the past year, Robinhood replaced Caesars Entertainment on the S&P 500 in September.
It was a significant milestone for the financial technology sector, as it signaled Robinhood’s transition from a pandemic-era disruptor to a mainstream player in U.S. financial markets. Inclusion in the index was expected to boost demand for Robinhood shares as funds tracking the S&P 500 adjust their holdings.
The company’s stock rose 7.3% in extended trading following the announcement. Analysts said the move underscores Robinhood’s financial stability and growing credibility among institutional investors, reflecting its broader impact on how Americans invest and trade.
