Wire reporting: (Reuters, via CNA)
Robinhood Markets reported third-quarter revenue of $1.42 billion, up 12% from a year earlier and in line with LSEG estimates, as growth in options and event contracts offset a drop in cryptocurrency trading1,2.
Shares were down around 8% in Wednesday premarket trading, CNBC and CNA (carrying Reuters) reported1,2. CNA's earlier Reuters dispatch said shares fell 3.4% after the bell Tuesday4. Techmeme, citing Reuters, said the stock dropped more than 5% after hours3.
Transaction-based revenue rose 19% to $867 million, CNBC reported, led by event-contract revenue that more than quintupled and options revenue that rose 31% to $399 million1. Equities revenue rose 41% to $121 million1. CNBC said transaction-based revenue of $867 million was below a StreetAccount estimate of $879 million1.
Cryptocurrency revenue fell 55% to $120 million1,2. CNBC said Chief Financial Officer Shiv Verma told the network that event contracts tied to crypto price moves performed well even as spot crypto trading slumped1.
CNBC said net income fell to $468 million, or 51 cents a share, from $556 million, or 61 cents, a year earlier, and that EPS missed an LSEG survey of 56 cents1. CNA, carrying Reuters, said per-share profit was 51 cents, down 16% from a year earlier and below an LSEG consensus of 55 cents2. A companion Reuters dispatch via CNA put net income at $476 million, or 51 cents a share, versus $556 million, or 61 cents, a year earlier4. Techmeme, citing Reuters, said profit was $476 million, down 14%3.
CNBC said net deposits were $15.7 billion in the quarter, a 17% annualized growth rate versus platform assets at the end of the second quarter, and $71 billion over the past year1.
CNA, citing Reuters, linked weaker crypto activity to pressure on bitcoin, ETF outflows and rate-path uncertainty, and quoted J.P. Morgan analyst Kenneth Worthington as still constructive on Robinhood's brokerage business2. What the company will report for crypto and event-contract mix in coming quarters was not detailed in the coverage1,2.
