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.

"New Federal Reserve News Agency": The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates next week, but a single rate hike won't solve the problem
Nick Timiraos from "The New Federal Reserve News Agency" recently wrote that investors have largely concluded that the Federal Reserve will make its first interest rate hike in three years next week, but the harder question is what will happen afterward. Since almost no one inside the Fed believes that a single 25 basis point rate hike is enough to bring down inflation, a decision to raise rates next week would reflect the judgment that rates were previously set at the wrong level, and a single hike cannot solve the problem. Since the 1990s, the Fed has only had one "one-time" rate hike.
