Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) shareholders are up 3.1% this past week, but still in the red over the last year
This month, we saw the Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) up an impressive 31%. But that is meagre solace when you consider how the price has plummeted over the last year. To wit, the stock has dropped 77% over the last year. Arguably, the recent bounce is to be expected after such a bad drop. Only time will tell if the company can sustain the turnaround.
While the stock has risen 3.1% in the past week but long term shareholders are still in the red, let's see what the fundamentals can tell us.

Robinhood Markets wasn't profitable in the last twelve months, it is unlikely we'll see a strong correlation between its share price and its earnings per share (EPS). Arguably revenue is our next best option. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.
Robinhood Markets' revenue didn't grow at all in the last year. In fact, it fell 20%. That's not what investors generally want to see. The share price fall of 77% in a year tells the story. That's a stern reminder that profitless companies need to grow the top line, at the very least. Of course, extreme share price falls can be an opportunity for those who are willing to really dig deeper to understand a high risk company like this.

A Different Perspective
Robinhood Markets shareholders are down 77% for the year, even worse than the market loss of 8.3%. That's disappointing, but it's worth keeping in mind that the market-wide selling wouldn't have helped. It's great to see a nice little 9.4% rebound in the last three months. Let's just hope this isn't the widely-feared 'dead cat bounce' (which would indicate further declines to come). It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term.
