Mizuho Bullish on Robinhood: HOOD Price Target Boosted Amid Game-Changing Feature Rollout

Mizuho just turbocharged Robinhood's outlook—new features are sending HOOD to the moon.

Breaking Down the Boost

The analyst upgrade isn't just hype—it's a direct response to Robinhood's aggressive product expansion. Think crypto integrations, smoother UI, and tools that actually make retail investing less of a casino experience. Mostly.

Why It Matters Now

Robinhood keeps eating market share by appealing to the next-gen trader—the ones who treat investing like a side hustle and crypto like a religion. Mizuho's move signals that the platform's evolution is more than just buzz; it's a revenue multiplier.

Let's be real—Wall Street loves nothing more than upgrading a stock after it's already made a move. Classic analyst timing. But this time? It might actually be justified.

Mizuho Analyst Is Optimistic About Robinhood’s New Launches

Dolev stated that he was particularly impressed with Robinhood Social, a new feature that helps investors track trades live, with all posted trades verified in real time. The analyst noted that Social also allows users to discuss strategies and track portfolios of politicians and hedge funds.

Furthermore, the analyst highlighted the enhancements, including overnight index options and short selling, made to HOOD’s browser-based platform, Legend, as part of the company’s continued efforts to capture opportunities in the $20 billion active trader revenue total addressable market (TAM). Additionally, Dolev believes that Robinhood Cortex, the AI tool for Legend, will be “very complementary” and drive activity across the platform.

The analyst increased his valuation multiple for HOOD stock from about 21x to 23x to reflect the company’s growth prospects, which he believes will gain from the expanded capabilities, particularly Robinhood Social.

Likewise, Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish reiterated a Buy rating on Robinhood Markets stock with a price target of $120 following the HOOD Summit 2025 event. The 5-star analyst noted that the company continues to introduce new features at a relatively rapid pace. Budish thinks that the new features “appear to be sleek and user-friendly.”

Is HOOD a Good Stock to Buy?

Robinhood stock has rallied 222% year-to-date. Currently, Wall Street has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on Robinhood Markets stock based on 12 Buys and six Holds. The average HOOD stock price target of $117.81 indicates that the stock is fully priced at current levels.
