Robinhood Is Now Down 11% This Year. Is It Time to Sell?
Quick Read
HOOD has lost 11% in 2026 to roughly $101, with selling pressure intensifying even as the broader market climbed, pointing to company-specific weakness.
IBKR surged 31% while BULL fell 24% this year, bracketing Robinhood between its most established and newest rivals in 2026 performance.
Robinhood’s new 24-hour weekend trading could lift transaction revenue, but a flat customer response would leave its performance gap with Interactive Brokers in place.

HOOD Price Target — 24/7 Wall St.
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is up 13% in 2026, so the drop in Robinhood stock has come while the broad market climbed. Financial stocks as a group have barely moved, with the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLF) up 0.3% year to date. That context makes it hard to blame the slide in Robinhood shares on the market at large.
Meanwhile, Interactive Brokers Group (NASDAQ:IBKR) stock is up 31% in 2026, a gain that leaves Robinhood stock trailing a major brokerage rival by a wide distance. Notably, Webull (NASDAQ:BULL) stock is down 24% year to date, a larger drop than the one weighing on Robinhood shares. Taken together, those peer moves leave Robinhood stock trailing its most established rival while holding up better than its newest one.

Why Didn’t HOOD Make The Top 10 List?
24/7 Wall St has helped investors make money for over two decades, and our top analysts just finished ranking the definitive Top 10 Stocks To Buy Now. Not the ten biggest companies. Not the ten everyone is arguing about. The ten best stocks to buy right now.
And HOOD didn’t make the cut!
The report is free, and you can see why we think each stock is a top investment today.
Robinhood said on October 1 that it will allow 24-hour weekend trading of U.S. stocks, Reuters reported, extending access as the brokerage industry moves toward longer market hours. That change lets Robinhood’s retail customers react to news that lands while traditional exchanges sit closed. Because Robinhood earns from transaction-based revenue, interest and subscriptions, added hours of access can feed the first of those streams most directly.
Interactive Brokers serves active and professional traders, working at lower margins on far larger volumes. Webull is a smaller, newer entrant competing for the same retail accounts that Robinhood courts. Between them sits Robinhood, earning from a broad retail customer base through transactions, interest and subscriptions.
Each platform sells market access, yet their share prices have split widely in 2026. A 31% gain in Interactive Brokers stock, set against an 11% loss in Robinhood shares, shows the brokerage group hasn’t declined as a whole. Down 24%, Webull stock trails both larger rivals.
That spread points to pressure specific to Robinhood. Dependence on retail activity can leave a platform more exposed to swings in customer enthusiasm.
Sector funds add little to this comparison. Led by the largest banks, card networks and insurers, the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF gives brokerages a secondary role and holds no Webull at all. Its 0.3% gain serves as a backdrop for the financial sector and carries no read on Robinhood.
Robinhood’s Gap Is Its Own to Close
Robinhood’s bull case rests on breadth, with revenue drawn from transactions, interest and subscriptions across a large retail base, and weekend access gives those customers more hours to use the platform, which can deepen engagement over time. Yet, Robinhood shares are down 11% in a year when the SPY ETF and Interactive Brokers stock have both climbed, and that gap forms the bear case.
Robinhood’s challenge now is whether weekend trading brings in enough incremental revenue to close that gap. A clear lift in customer activity could narrow the distance with Interactive Brokers, while a flat response would leave the weakness in place. For investors holding Robinhood stock, keeping their position size modest leaves room for further swings (we wrote a whole free guide on sizing speculative positions with rules that hold up, here).
Company-specific weakness can support a measured review of their stake rather than a sale. Broader damage across brokerages would strengthen the case for an exit, and gains in Interactive Brokers stock and the SPY ETF could argue against that reading.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the latest inflation reading this morning, showing the Producer Price Index (PPI) jumped 6.5% in October from a year earlier. That’s the biggest annual jump since 2022. And it comes just three days after a hotter-than-expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. The market is now treating a rate hike
Wall Street hasn’t totally given up on Nvidia’s (NVDA) stock. While there has been a steady stream of price targets this week and a few downgrades, a lot of analysts who cover the company are staying bullish. Their argument is captured in one note from Wedbush analyst Matthew Bryson. “Nothing has changed,” Bryson wrote on

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) sell to many of the same corporate customers, and both are betting that AI agents, software that can carry out tasks on its own, will become a major source of revenue.

Chipotle‘s (CMG +0.18%) stock closed at a record high of $68.55 per share on June 18, 2024.

I’m not predicting another stock market crash anytime soon. However, I already know which dividend stocks I’ll be looking to buy if it does.

Last Thursday — Nov. 5 — the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index plunged 4.4%, its worst day since April 2025. That seems pretty scary, certainly to newer investors who might not have seen many market pullbacks. But investors shouldn’t worry, as occasional small corrections and pullbacks in the market undo excess and prevent larger corrections
It’s been a rough stretch for growth stocks. The AI trade has cooled, and Nvidia (NVDA -4.06%) just lost its legendary CEO.

However, when markets get choppy, some great businesses get dragged down with everything else, and
Applied Digital (APLD -5.36%) shares have lost about 30% since 2026 began, even as the S&P 500 (^GSPC -0.35%) gained 12%, and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -0.39%) added 10%. Still, it’s up by about 250% over the last three years — not bad. While the company had its beginnings in the crypto mining space, it
Few industries have felt disruption in the 21st century more than the news business. The industry is still adapting to the disruption of the internet, which killed profitable parts of the business, such as the classifieds section, and made the print business an expensive, antiquated endeavor that is likely on its way out.

Is there trouble brewing for artificial intelligence (AI) stocks? Last week, the U.S. midterm elections took place, and the Democrats were the big winners, capturing both chambers of Congress. This led to a broad equity sell-off as investors fear that one of the Democratic Party’s priorities will be to stall the massive ongoing AI infrastructure
