HOOD Up 200% YTD — With S&P 500 Inclusion, Is $200 Next?

Robinhood surged 15% in the latest session on the back of two powerful catalysts:

That puts HOOD up a staggering 200% YTD.

Why HOOD Is in the Spotlight

  • S&P 500 inclusion: A milestone that typically boosts visibility, liquidity, and institutional flows.

  • Business model: A fast-growing fintech "super app," spanning brokerage, options, crypto, credit cards, and more — often at low or zero commission, challenging traditional brokers.

  • Financial momentum: Q2 2025 revenue hit $539M, up 65% YoY, as higher trading volumes in a bull market drove growth.

  • Crypto tailwinds: From Trump’s pro-crypto stance to rising institutional adoption and tokenization opportunities, HOOD is well-positioned to benefit with its integrated crypto wallet and trading.

The Risks

  • Valuation stretch: A 200% rally brings FOMO, but also higher expectations. Any slowdown could trigger sharp pullbacks.

  • Volatility: With a 52-week range of $19–$117, HOOD remains one of the most volatile retail favorites.

🔎 Big question:
Is HOOD’s valuation justified, or is this more a trader’s stock than a long-term hold?

Can Robinhood push higher — maybe even retest $200?

  • I watched a stock go from $10 to 110, and become part of S&P 500.
