Why is Robinhood Markets stock sliding today?

Robinhood Markets' stock fell 8.7% in pre-market trading after Q3 2026 results missed revenue expectations and showed a 55% drop in crypto segment revenue. Adjusted EPS beat estimates, but GAAP EPS fell 16% year-over-year. The CFO's comments on tighter spreads raised concerns about profitability. The broader market was mixed, and the stock is near its 52-week low of $63.52.
