Strong Revenues versus Weak Share Prices

Even in the fourth quarter, the company’s shares experienced a slight push in the upward direction. They performed well in the fourth quarter, which is also a good sign for the company’s future.
Shares BuyBack from SBF
Like most cryptocurrency firms, Robinhood has faced a major problem involving Sam Bankman-Fried. The former CEO of the defunct FTX exchange had purchased shares in Robinhood as it went public.
With the entire FTX dilemma, Robinhood has announced that it is going to buy back the shares it had sold to SBF.
The company does not want to have any ties with SBF, as it considers that its public image will be negatively impacted if it does.
The firm revealed that although their overall earnings and revenues were promising, their earnings/revenues do not look good for the crypto segment.
They reported only $39 million in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2022 from cryptocurrencies. They confirmed a 24% decline in their revenue in the respective quarter.
