There’s actually a lot of good news to take from their projections.\nAs an example, the lowest price target among the three is $45. That’s pretty much where it is trading today. It suggests the stock may have bottomed out, and that a worst-case scenario isn’t that bad.\nThe other two analysts give it a price target of $65 and $151.20, respectively. Again, there’s an easy case here for optimism given those potential returns.\nIf they are indeed accurate, investors could anticipate returns between 35.42%-215%. Any investor would be happy with those numbers.\nThe average of those three analyst target prices comes out to $87.07, an 81.4% return. Again, though, it must be noted that Robinhood only had its IPO 2 weeks ago.\nThe Difficulty of Robinhood\nWe can see that Robinhood is well regarded by Wall Street at this point, but we have to ask why.\nOstensibly Robinhood is the antithesis to Wall Street trading practices. It has been hailed as a democratizer of trading due to its commission-free trades.Yet, based on those analyst projections above, Wall Street is big on Robinhood. So what gives?\nPart of the answer lies in something called payment for order flow. Robinhood doesn’t make money on commissions, but it has to make money somewhere. Robinhood does so through payment for order flow.\nPayment for order flow is a somewhat opaque process that has proven controversial. Basically, the payment for the order flow is received by a broker who routes trades for execution. Part of the argument against this method is that brokers have an incentive to make the market for certain trades.\nConversely, if Robinhood’s platform was totally democratized, then it would be the trades of its participants that would make the market. However, payment for order flow implies that the deals Robinhood users are being exposed to are directed to them, rather than created by their demand.\nThus, Robinhood may not be what is billed to be at all. Rather, the argument can be made that it is a tool of greater Wall Street powers masquerading under an eponymous facade in Robinhood.\nIn 2020 it made $687 million from the method: Food for thought.Then, there’s the issue of finances.\nBig Loser\nRobinhood’s prospectus contains 341 pages of information regarding the company’s IPO, and some of the most important information therein is simple net income figures.\nRobinhood lost a lot of money in 2019, recording a net loss in excess of $106 million. The company burst into the public investment consciousness in 2020, recording a net income of $7.449 million for the entire year.\nRobinhood then posted a $1.444 billion net loss in the first three months of 2021, and its prospectus showed that the company anticipated a Q2 2021 net loss of between $487-$537 million.\nNone of that bodes well for the company or its stock.\nTakeaway\nThe case for Robinhood as an investment is a polarizing one. Wall Street is fairly gung ho regarding its prospects, but investors have to ask themselves what they’re investing in Robinhood in the first place.\nIf it’s price appreciation alone, I can see their argument. If it’s because Robinhood changed the game, giving the power to the people, I’d recommend they look twice.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":835603660,"gmtCreate":1629707941150,"gmtModify":1631891968243,"author":{"id":"3567674050552530","authorId":"3567674050552530","name":"Stevenlow","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3567674050552530","authorIdStr":"3567674050552530"},"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/835603660","repostId":1176242508,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5619811,"gmtCreate":1629708133697,"gmtModify":1635144661718,"authorId":3574929829220175,"author":{"id":3574929829220175,"idStr":"3574929829220175","authorId":3574929829220175,"name":"nicholastsj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d43d1a543e192369160adfc42ef5e783","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":835603660,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"like","text":"like","html":"like"},{"id":5619872,"gmtCreate":1629708534508,"gmtModify":1635144657831,"authorId":3568009000536078,"author":{"id":3568009000536078,"idStr":"3568009000536078","authorId":3568009000536078,"name":"Naqman","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/fdf2c1b210def3e667e2054939598585","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":835603660,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"liked","text":"liked","html":"liked"},{"id":5619916,"gmtCreate":1629708964500,"gmtModify":1635144655497,"authorId":3585385605908328,"author":{"id":3585385605908328,"idStr":"3585385605908328","authorId":3585385605908328,"name":"Thomas9413","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/effcfaa82ddb11a4fa57136b2a6f8351","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":835603660,"type":1,"supId":5619811,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok ","text":"Ok ","html":"Ok "}],"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":11,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":false,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"laohu8","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/1176242508"}
