Robinhood boosts buyback to $1.5B amid stock slide
Robinhood has approved a new $1.5 billion share repurchase programme as its stock continues to trade well below recent highs.
The buyback adds more than $1.1 billion to existing capacity and is expected to be executed over roughly three years starting in the first quarter of 2026.
The company is not obligated to purchase a fixed amount, but the programme is intended to reduce shares outstanding and support earnings per share.
Alongside the buyback, Robinhood Securities expanded its revolving credit facility to $3.25 billion, with the option to increase it to $4.875 billion, led by JPMorgan.
The move comes after Robinhood shares fell more than 50% since Bitcoin peaked in early October, reversing gains driven by strong crypto trading activity.
Shares rose about 1.4% in after-hours trading following the announcement, suggesting a modest positive reaction from investors.
The combined actions signal a focus on capital management and liquidity as the company navigates a weaker share price environment.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $70,789.72.

The wave of AI Agents and US Treasury yields are splitting the US stock market into two worlds: Meta's release of the Muse model boosted its market value by $220 billion in a single week, propelling the Nasdaq's standout performance; however, excluding AI stocks, the S&P 500 actually fell 1% this week, with the number of new lows on the New York Stock Exchange surpassing new highs for nine consecutive days, signaling the near end of "breadth trading." Goldman Sachs bluntly stated that this is a "frustrating cat-and-mouse game" between the stock market and interest rates—any breakout can be snuffed out by the bond market at any time, so equity holders must short US Treasury bonds to hedge simultaneously.
