Analysts raise Robinhood price targets and initiate coverage, stock climbs 1.6% pre‑market

Rosenblatt Securities began coverage of Robinhood Markets with a Buy rating and a $135 price target, citing the firm’s expansion into a broader financial‑services platform. JPMorgan Chase lifted its target to $115 from $103 while keeping a Neutral stance. The upgrades helped the shares rise about 1.6% in pre‑market trading to $99.77. Insider activity over the past year showed net selling of $663.9 million of stock.

The higher price targets and new coverage may support the stock ahead of Robinhood’s Q3 earnings on 27 October, giving investors a benchmark for valuation expectations. The insider net‑selling figure highlights a potential divergence between management and external investors.
