Robinhood Reports Surprise Profit

Robinhood Markets witnessed a substantial 10% uptick in revenue to $43 million as compared to the previous year. This surge is largely credited to higher interest income from customers paying back loans, increased user engagement, and heightened trading volumes observed on the platform throughout the quarter.

The company reported a total fourth-quarter revenue of $471 million, surpassing the anticipated average analyst estimate of $454.7 million. Additionally, earnings per share soared to $0.03, surpassing expectations of a $0.01 loss per share.
