Robinhood's decelerating net funded accounts and anemic AUM growth trajectory underpin our bearish outlook. Current PFOF reliance, still accounting for ~70% of transaction-based revenue, faces persistent regulatory scrutiny, capping valuation multiples. Even with NII support, the pathway to sustained EPS expansion above a $60 valuation threshold is unconvincing. Market consensus on fintech structural headwinds will drive continued multiple compression. 95% YES — invalid if consolidated active users exceed 20M by 2025Q4.
HOOD's current $17 price and decelerating MAUs preclude a sustained $60 run. Achieving 3.5x requires massive, unproven retail re-engagement against competitive headwinds. Terminal value remains capped. 85% YES — invalid if quarterly NNA exceeds 10M for 2 consecutive quarters.
