What to know:
- Robinhood beat estimates for the fourth quarter of 2024 as revenue rose 115% year-over-year.
- The main driver for this growth came from transaction-based revenue from cryptocurrency trading, which rose 700% over the same period.
- Competitor Coinbase is reporting earnings on Thursday after the close and is expected to post its strongest volume since Q4 2021.
Popular trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) beat its fourth-quarter earnings and revenue estimates, which could have positive read-through for peer Coinbase (COIN).
Robinhood said its fourth-quarter revenue rose 115% from the previous year to $1.01 billion, beating Wall Street analysts’ estimate of $945.8 million, according to FactSet data. Its transaction-based revenue rose 200% from the previous year, mainly due to a 700% rise in cryptocurrency revenue, the firm said in a statement.

This could bode well for crypto exchange Coinbase, which reports its earnings on Thursday after the market close. Both platforms share a similar client base and get most of its revenue from trading fees. Wall Street analysts expect COIN to post one of its best quarters in terms of trading volume since Q4 of 2021 as a result of the election of crypto-friendly President Donald Trump which sent crypto prices to new all-time highs in November.
Estimates on FactSet predict Coinbase will report revenue of $1.8 billion, up from $1.26 billion in the third quarter and exchange volume of $195.9 billion, up from $185.3 billion.
Robinhood also reported earnings per share of $1.01, topping the average estimate of $0.42. Shares of the trading app were up more than 5% in post-market trading on Wednesday, while COIN’s stock was up about 0.3%.
UPDATE (Feb. 12, 2025, 21:30 UTC): Adds additional information about COIN earnings.
CORRECT (Feb. 13, 14:02 UTC): Corrects year to 2021 in third paragraph.
