ETFs to Watch as HOOD Shares Fall 7% Following Q4 Revenue Miss

Shares of Robinhood Markets HOOD lost 7% in the after-hours trading session yesterday (as cited in Yahoo Finance), following the company’s fourth-quarter 2025 revenue miss. The trading platform comfortably surpassed the quarterly earnings estimates. 

For investors, the recent share price slump may present an attractive entry point into HOOD, as the company seeks to transform itself into a global financial super-app. Robinhood accelerates momentum among active traders by expanding its product offerings, led by Prediction Markets, with more than 12 billion event contracts traded in 2025. HOOD continues to advance its global financial innovation strategy through expansion into new markets and the rollout of international products, including the recent launch of ISAs in the United Kingdom.  

However, direct investment in HOOD bears significant regulatory risk, as potential crackdowns on Payment for Order Flow (PFOF) or crypto-staking could dismantle its "commission-free" model. The stock is highly sensitive to retail sentiment cycles, as cooling enthusiasm for AI or crypto often triggers disproportionate declines in user activity and revenues.

Therefore, for investors looking to capitalize on this recent dip without being fully exposed to the unique single-stock volatility and company-specific challenges that could severely impact HOOD’s share price at any point of time, a more prudent strategy could be to invest in Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) with significant exposure to this fintech company. This approach allows investors to capture the potential upside of HOOD and other industry leaders while mitigating company-specific risks arising from sector-specific challenges or geopolitical factors.

But before diving straight into these ETFs, let us check HOOD’s overall performance in the fourth quarter in terms of other metrics.

A Brief Analysis of HOOD’s Q4 Results

HOOD’s fourth-quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.8%. Revenues missed the consensus mark by 4%. However, on a year-over-year basis, the company registered double-digit growth in revenues. 

Its total Platform Assets increased 68%, driven by continued Net Deposits, acquired assets, and higher equity valuations. Robinhood Gold Subscribers rose 58% year over year to 4.2 million.

The company’s interest-earning assets went up 39%, driven by strong growth in the cash sweep program, margin and HOOD’s credit card loan book as the company steadily won larger customers and deepened relationships with the existing ones.  

HOOD’s business reflected notable diversification. At the end of 2025, it had up to 11 businesses with more than $100 million in annualized revenues. Several other businesses are currently in progress, including Robinhood Legend and the Gold Card, with the latter on track for launch this year.

Robinhood plans to accelerate product velocity further in 2026 and aims to deliver another year of 20%-plus net deposit growth. The company also expects its Robinhood Social business to begin rolling out to initial customers in the near term.

Beyond 2026, the trading platform remains on track to exceed $1 trillion in assets, supported by rapid product velocity and the $100 trillion-plus generational wealth transfer (already underway).
