Robinhood's platform assets surged to $298 billion in July, a 7% increase from June and a 106% YoY growth. Equity trading volumes rose to $209.1 billion, a 17% MoM increase. Analysts forecast an average one-year price target of $112.96, indicating a potential 3.99% upside, while GuruFocus estimates a GF Value of $38.08, suggesting a 64.94% downside.

Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) reported robust July 2025 operating metrics, highlighting significant growth across various key indicators. The company's total platform assets reached $298 billion, representing a 7% month-over-month (MoM) and 106% year-over-year (YoY) increase [1]. This growth was fueled by a 28% annualized growth rate in net deposits, which totaled $6.4 billion in July alone.

Notable achievements include a funded customer base of 26.7 million, up 10% YoY, and equity trading volumes of $209.1 billion, up 100% YoY. Crypto trading volumes also surged, reaching $16.8 billion, a 217% YoY increase. Margin balances grew to $11.4 billion, up 111% YoY, indicating increased customer sophistication and engagement with higher-margin products. Additionally, total cash sweep balances rose to $33.6 billion, up 54% YoY, providing Robinhood with a stable, low-cost funding base [1].

The company's July data shows exceptional growth across all metrics, with platform assets up 106% YoY and strong momentum in crypto trading. The 190% YoY growth in securities lending revenue to $61 million for July alone underscores the importance of this high-margin revenue stream to Robinhood's economics [1].

Analysts have responded positively to the strong performance. Cantor Fitzgerald raised its price target on Robinhood Markets to $128.00 from $118.00, maintaining an Overweight rating following the release of the company’s July operating data [2]. This new target sits near the analyst high of $130, with InvestingPro data showing the stock has already delivered an impressive 482% return over the past year.

The consistently strong growth across multiple metrics suggests that Robinhood is executing effectively on multiple fronts: customer acquisition, engagement, and monetization. The diversification across trading types (equities, options, crypto) also provides resilience, with particular strength currently coming from the resurgent crypto segment [1].
