Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest increased its stake in Robinhood by $13.4 million, making it the fourth-largest holding in its Blockchain & Fintech Innovation ETF, accounting for 5.2% of investments. Despite a fantastic year with a 215% stock increase, Robinhood faces recent dips and trades at a high valuation.

Robinhood saw revenue double from a year ago, with strong crypto-related revenue of $268 million in the third quarter. Longtime CFO Jason Wernick announced his retirement in 2026. The stock has still generated significant gains for investors, despite some struggles attributed to the recent crypto sell-off.

With a user-friendly platform offering a range of services, Robinhood has become a popular choice for investors. The Robinhood Gold membership, at $5 per month, offers various benefits, including an attractive interest rate on uninvested cash, higher deposit limits, margin investing, and a 3% cash back credit card, among others.

Partnering with Kalshi for prediction markets and planning to launch banking products, Robinhood aims to provide a comprehensive financial platform. Despite high valuation metrics, such as 49 times forward earnings, and 26 times forward sales, investors may want to wait for further dips before considering an investment in Robinhood.

Considerations from the Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team suggest other stocks may offer better investment opportunities than Robinhood. Their top 10 list has historically produced significant returns, outperforming the S&P 500 with a total average return of 991%.
