Robinhood has spent the past several quarters expanding well beyond its commission-free trading roots, layering on subscription products, retirement accounts, credit cards, and a growing international footprint. This report matters because it tests whether that diversification can offset volatility in a single business line — in this case, cryptocurrency trading. Coming into the quarter, investors were focused on whether record customer growth and platform assets could translate into durable profitability, even as crypto volumes cooled. The results offer a clear read on Robinhood's ability to broaden its revenue mix while managing costs during a period of aggressive product investment.
For the second quarter ended June 2026, Robinhood reported record total net revenues of $1.31 billion, a 32% increase from the prior year and above the consensus estimate of roughly $1.26 billion. Net income rose 48% to $573 million. Diluted EPS of $0.62 included about $129 million, or $0.14 per share, in gains primarily tied to the deconsolidation of Robinhood Ventures Fund I; excluding that item, underlying EPS was approximately $0.48, still ahead of the $0.44 consensus.
Transaction-based revenues jumped 44% to $776 million, driven by strength across equities, options, and event contracts. Options revenue rose 29% to $342 million, equities revenue surged 95% to $129 million, and event-contract revenue grew more than tenfold to $156 million. Net interest revenue (NIR, income earned from interest on customer cash and margin lending) increased 9% to $389 million, while other revenues climbed 54% to $143 million, aided by Gold subscription growth and Trump Account service revenues.
The lone weak spot was crypto, where transaction revenue declined 38% to $100 million as trading volumes contracted. On profitability, adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) rose 35% to $741 million, a 57% margin. Funded customers grew 7% to 28.4 million, and total platform assets rose 32% to a record $369 billion.

Despite a broad top-and-bottom-line beat, Robinhood shares slipped roughly 1% in after-hours trading following the release, with the stock down about 20% year to date as of the last close. The muted reaction reflected investor unease about continued weakness in cryptocurrency trading, which has historically been a significant and volatile contributor to Robinhood's results. Analysts broadly framed the quarter as stronger than the headline crypto figure suggested, pointing to better-than-expected transaction revenue, NIR, net deposits, subscription growth, and expense control. The narrative shift toward prediction markets and event contracts as an emerging growth driver helped offset some of the crypto-related caution.
Looking ahead, investors will be watching whether the momentum in net deposits, Gold subscriptions, and platform assets can be sustained. Net deposits of $21.7 billion and a record $369 billion in platform assets point to continued customer engagement, but the durability of those inflows matters for future NIR and subscription revenue.
Cost discipline will also be central. Robinhood's decision to lower its full-year 2026 adjusted operating expenses and share-based compensation guidance to $2.675–$2.775 billion signals a focus on efficiency even as the company funds new businesses. Whether management can hold to that range while scaling products like the Credit Card and Robinhood Legend will shape margin expectations.
Crypto remains the most visible swing factor. A rebound in crypto trading volume would likely lift transaction revenue, while further declines could pressure results and sentiment. Investors will also monitor the growth of event contracts and prediction markets, the international customer base, and the rollout of newer offerings such as Robinhood Social. These factors, combined with any updates to expense guidance, will likely determine how the market evaluates Robinhood's next several quarters.
