Proactive Investors - Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:HOOD) reported third quarter revenue that missed Wall Street estimates due to a slowdown in trading activity on its investment platform, sending its sharing falling after Tuesday’s closing bell.
Shares of Robinhood were down 6.7% at US$9.11 following the release of its financial results.
For 3Q, the company said its revenue grew 29% year-over-year to $467 million. Analysts, however, had been expecting revenue of $480.2 million.
Robinhood attributed its increased revenue to higher net interest and other revenue, partially offset by lower transaction-based revenue.
