Robinhood notches first record high since 2021

Robinhood jumped more than 5% to close at a record high for the first time since August 2021, shortly after its debut as a publicly traded company.

(Sherwood Media is an editorially independent subsidiary of Robinhood Markets Inc.)

The company marked the closing of its acquisition of crypto exchange Bitstamp by releasing some additional financial details on revenues and costs at the crypto exchange.

Analysts at Barclays said they expect the deal shouldn’t weaken the “adjusted EBITDA” number that Wall Street watches closely.

Barclays analysts added that the acquisition should be “accretive” — that is, contributing to the bottom line within 12 months — either through additional revenues or by providing an opportunity for cost cuts.

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.
