Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ: HOOD) Chief Financial Officer Shiv Verma sold a total of 5,474 shares of Class A common stock on February 17, 2026, for aggregate proceeds of about $411,273. The transactions were executed at prices ranging from $73.444 to $76.3638, which are close to the stock’s quoted price of $75.65 at the time the report referenced. After completing these sales, Verma retained direct ownership of 51,771 Robinhood shares.
The insider transactions took place under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that Verma adopted on August 20, 2025. The filing shows the plan governed the timing and execution of the trades.
These sales come as HOOD has experienced notable share-price weakness recently - down 33% year-to-date and 28% over the trailing six months. An investing platform’s Fair Value assessment cited in the filing rates the stock as appearing overvalued at current levels, noting a high earnings multiple. The platform’s metrics show a price-to-earnings ratio of 36.5 among its valuation observations.
Robinhood’s latest quarterly report provides additional context to the insider activity. For the fourth quarter, the company reported earnings per share of $0.67, a result that topped estimates by 6%. Revenue for the quarter, however, came in about 4% below analyst expectations. For the full year, Robinhood posted earnings per share of $2.12, beating projected guidance by 2%.
Analyst responses to the results diverged. Cantor Fitzgerald lowered its price target to $100, citing the company’s fiscal 2026 expense plan. Truist Securities reduced its target to $120 and characterized the earnings as frustrating with few positives. Barclays trimmed its target to $124, pointing to softer-than-expected results driven in part by lower transaction revenues. By contrast, Bernstein and Citizens kept more optimistic stances, maintaining targets of $160 and $180 respectively, and highlighted the earnings beat despite headwinds in crypto trading.
The combination of an insider sale, recent share-price declines, and mixed analyst adjustments frames the current market view of Robinhood as one in which valuation, revenue mix and expense planning are central to investor and analyst focus.
