What Happened?
Shares of financial services company Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD) fell 6.7% in the morning session after its third-quarter 2025 results, despite beating revenue and earnings estimates, were overshadowed by concerns about its future profit outlook and the announced retirement of its Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The company reported impressive year-over-year revenue growth of 100% to $1.27 billion, and its GAAP earnings per share of $0.61 comfortably beat Wall Street's expectations. However, investors seemed to focus on the less positive aspects of the report. Robinhood guided for full-year expenses to be at the top end of its previously provided range, implying future profits could be at the lower end of expectations. Adding to the uncertainty, CFO Jason Warnick announced his intention to retire next year, a move that can create investor unease about leadership stability. The combination of these factors appeared to outweigh the strong headline numbers, leading to the stock's decline.
