Shares in Robinhood (HOOD) stock have climbed as much as 17% in the last 30 days. HOOD stock is having its best two-day run in six weeks, even as bitcoin trades lower, a break from the pattern that has tied the brokerage stock closely to crypto for much of 2026. While shares are still down 18% YTD, the stock’s momentum this week could be the start of a rally that investors are looking for.
On Wednesday, Robinhood announced new AI features that will allow customers to deploy AI Agents to trade stocks on its platform and make purchases on its credit card. The trading platform is joining a crowded field of financial firms that have introduced AI tools into a range of services they offer individual customers, from stock research to automated investing management. The agentic trading and credit-card spending feature marks another step forward, said Abhishek Fatehpuria, Robinhood’s vice president of product management. “These AI agents for consumers have started to trade in the market,” Fatehpuria said. “One thing that we’ve learned from talking to our customers is that they want to give their agents the power of Robinhood, but in a very safe way.”
Robinhood’s recent rally is also notable because of how tight HOOD and bitcoin have been moving together since October. The king cryptocurrency’s price has stalled in recent weeks, while HOOD is starting to separate. HOOD was trading around $91.92, up 8.35% on the day, according to the market snapshot shared by Google Finance. The stock opened near $85.66, hit an intraday high of $92.46, and moved well above its previous close of $84.84. The rally also lifted Robinhood’s market value to roughly $83 billion.

Despite the latest innovation, Robinhood’s stock has slid 36% year-to-date, raising concerns about its performance amid a competitive and volatile trading environment. Most analysts maintain a positive outlook on Robinhood, with price targets significantly higher than the current $74.09. Bernstein and B of A Securities are particularly optimistic, setting targets at $130 and $154, respectively
