Robinhood’s Descent: A Market Requiem

Robinhood’s growth, it must be said, has been a thing of peculiar beauty. It’s a vine that sprouted from barren soil, nurtured by the impatience of a new generation. While others measured risk in spreadsheets and quarterly reports, Robinhood offered a different currency: access. In the last quarter, ending September 30th, 2025, the company doubled its revenues, a surge that felt less like calculated strategy and more like a prophecy fulfilled. Profits, too, blossomed, tripling from a modest $150 million to a considerable $556 million. These numbers, however, are merely the surface of a deeper current, a restlessness that suggests both opportunity and peril. The margins are improving, yes, but even the most vibrant blossoms eventually wither.
