Robinhood

Bitcoin

Robinhood dropped $750,000 in Bitcoin into the hands of its users as part of a wild holiday giveaway on Saturday, the second day of its new festive countdown.
On the first day, users were offered $500,000 worth of Dogecoin, a bunch of flashy physical prizes, and a five-minute window to grab it all.
Though that window turned into a disaster for some, specifically those who showed up early, phones ready, but the Robinhood app crashed or froze.

Some reportedly got stuck on a blank screen, while others were told they “missed the rewards” even though they were already in. And this happened during the one moment users were supposed to claim their prizes, <a href="https://x.com/WOLF_Financial/status/2004727073538277659" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">according</a> to multiple posts on X by users.
Along with <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/dogecoin-price-prediction/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DOGE</a>, Robinhood added luxury items to the mix. People could also win Rolex watches and Apple AirPods, turning what was supposed to be a crypto giveaway into a flex-off.

Away from the giveaways, Robinhood’s stock (HOOD) isn’t feeling festive. It closed at $118.13, down 1.92% from the previous day. That drop was worse than the S&amp;P 500’s dip of just 0.03%. The Dow fell by 0.04%, and the Nasdaq slid 0.09%. Robinhood lost more ground than all of them.
Over the past month, HOOD has dropped 6.05%, even as the finance sector gained 4.37% and the S&amp;P 500 rose 2.57%. But earnings are coming up. <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/robinhood-coinbase-top-crypto-stocks/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Robinhood</a> is expected to report Q4 2025 EPS of $0.57, which would be 5.56% higher than the same quarter last year. Revenue estimates sit at $1.29 billion, up 27.08% year-over-year.
Still, some analysts remain optimistic. Brian Bedell at Deutsche Bank still has a buy rating, and just bumped the target price from $150 to $160. TipRanks says Bedell has a 61.8% success rate and an average return of 19.4% over the past year.
Meanwhile, financial analyst Carter Worth thinks Robinhood is in a “bullish-to-bearish” reversal, and could drop to around $100.
Carter points out its weak performance compared to the S&amp;P 500, and warns that the uptrend since April’s low is breaking. HOOD hit $29.66 back in April, then exploded to $153.86 in October, a 419% rally in just six months.
