Analysts hike Robinhood price targets to $110 as Wall Street keeps playing catch-up

Piper Sandler and Morgan Stanley have a rosier view of what awaits HOOD shares.

Robinhood Markets received a pair of price target hikes Tuesday as Wall Street looks ahead to the brokerage firm’s earnings report due at the end of the month.

Stock watchers at Piper Sandler and Morgan Stanley both lifted their price targets on the stock to $110 on Tuesday, the latest in a flurry of target hikes from the Street recently.

Piper Sandler, which previously had a $70 target on Robinhood, also lifted its earnings-per-share estimates for Robinhood for this year as well as 2026. The analysts have an “overweight” rating on the stock, but their top picks for the brokerage sector heading into earnings are larger, well-diversified exchange businesses Nasdaq and Intercontinental Exchange, rather than more volume-dependent firms like Robinhood.

Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley, which had affixed a $43 target on the shares before Tuesday, drastically hiked its estimate “based on new work sizing the potential earnings opportunity from new business lines. Specifically, we sized the [total addressable markets], growth outlook, and HOODs market share opportunity and economics in 2031 for 10 new business units, and discounted those earnings back to 2026 to help derive our new price target.”

Such new businesses include Robinhood’s European brokerage — the focus of a recent announcement on the company’s tokenization plans — as well as crypto activity (including derivatives, staking, and stablecoins), credit cards, and its wealth advisory business.

Despite optimism about the future, Morgan Stanley retained its “equal weight” — basically neutral — rating on the shares, writing, “While we remain equal-weight, our conviction in the long-term HOOD story has not wavered, we simply suspect there will be more attractive entry points going forward.”

Robinhood is set to report results after the close on July 30.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

  • Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
