Robinhood stock has surged more than 7% and briefly crossed the $100 mark after the company opened its AI-powered Agentic Trading platform to all customers.
Summary
- Robinhood shares jumped more than 7% and briefly topped $100 after the company opened its Agentic Trading platform to all users.
- The new feature allows customers to connect AI agents that can research markets, execute trades, and rebalance portfolios.
- Bernstein expects Robinhood’s prediction market revenue to reach $586 million in 2026, while Goldman Sachs recently raised its HOOD price target to $108.
According to an update shared by Robinhood on X, users can now connect artificial intelligence agents through the company’s MCP server and assign them investing tasks such as market research, trade execution, and portfolio rebalancing.
The company said customers can create dedicated accounts for AI-driven investing while remaining in control of how much authority is delegated to automated systems.
The launch introduces AI agents directly into the investing process, allowing users to automate selected activities based on instructions they set themselves. Robinhood said the feature is now available across its customer base, expanding access beyond earlier testing phases.
Investor enthusiasm around the announcement helped lift Robinhood shares during Tuesday’s session. HOOD stock rose above $99 and reached an intraday high of $100.87 before pulling back slightly.
AI-powered investing reaches Robinhood’s full customer base
Through Agentic Trading, Robinhood customers can deploy AI agents to analyze markets, place trades, and manage portfolios within dedicated investing accounts.
According to the company, users retain oversight of their accounts while allowing automated systems to carry out specific tasks.
The rollout comes as financial firms increasingly explore AI tools for investment research and portfolio management. By opening Agentic Trading to all users, Robinhood is adding another technology-focused product to its growing platform.
Additional growth drivers support investor interest
Beyond its AI initiatives, Robinhood has continued expanding its financial services business.
As crypto.news reported earlier, chief executive Vlad Tenev recently disclosed that Robinhood Securities had received approval to act as an underwriter, allowing the company to participate directly in helping companies go public rather than only distributing IPO shares through its IPO Access program.
Analysts have also highlighted strong growth in the company’s prediction market business.
In a client note published Monday, Bernstein projected Robinhood’s prediction market revenue could increase to $586 million in 2026 from roughly $150 million in 2025, citing a surge in World Cup-related trading activity. The research firm estimated the segment could contribute about 17% of transaction-based revenue next year.
Wall Street has become increasingly positive on the stock as new products continue to roll out. Goldman Sachs recently raised its price target on Robinhood shares from $105 to $108. The firm’s analyst James Yaro also maintained a Buy rating on the stock, indicating that Goldman Sachs continues to see further upside potential despite Robinhood’s recent gains.
