Bernstein Raises Robinhood Markets Price Target to $160

Bernstein reiterated its outperform rating on Robinhood Markets on July 20. The firm increased the 12-month price target from $130 to $160 for HOOD stock.

Analyst Gautam Chhugani highlights the platform’s aggressive push into new high-growth areas, including prediction markets, perpetual futures, and tokenized equities. He argues it would drive 23% of total revenue by 2028, justifying a higher price target.

Rothera exchange joint venture and Robinhood Chain could contribute significantly to total revenue in 2027 and 2028. The new $160 target is based on a calendar year 2028 EPS estimate of $4.56, which is 39% above consensus estimates.

As CoinGape reported earlier, Wall Street giant Morgan Stanley also raised its price target from $95 to $124 for HOOD stock. Barclays lifted HOOD stock’s 12-month price target to $122 amid strong ongoing momentum for its platform and trading volumes.

For retail investors wanting to participate in on-chain betting, exploring the best crypto prediction markets can highlight the top decentralized alternatives.

HOOD Stock Gains Today

HOOD stock surged 2.29% in premarket trading to $102.25, following the buy recommendation by Bernstein. The stock closed at $99.96 last week, down almost 10% in a week.

Before the recent drop amid broader stock market weakness due to selloffs in AI and chip shares, HOOD stock rallied almost 40% over the past month.

Bernstein analyst expects prediction markets to overtake crypto as a Robinhood revenue line as soon as Q2, with Rothera and Robinhood Chain driving the next-gen trading bet.

Robinhood Chain overtook Hyperliquid in 24-hour decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, with more than $606 million. Robinhood Chain has recorded massive demand amid RWA, DeFi, and CASHCAT buzz.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading at $64,658, eyeing a retest of the $65K level after a 24-hour decline. Trading volume has increased by 56% as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed they are still open to diplomatic resolution with Iran.
