Final-quarter revenue $1.02B 18% of company revenue
Explicit segment contribution $5.25B EBITDA less segment capex, before corporate items

Event contracts turn out to be a market rather than a fad and run into their ceiling early, options and equities keep taking share from the incumbent brokers, crypto turns with the cycle instead of bleeding, and Gold attach passes 40% as the card and Trump Accounts pull the subscription into everyday use. Net deposits keep running above $20B a quarter, so balances outgrow the rate cuts.

Robinhood Gold at $5 a month, plus the credit card, Trump Accounts servicing and the rest of the fee book. 4.8 million subscribers, up 39% year over year, and about 40% of new funded customers now take Gold on the way in. The highest-quality revenue in the company because it is neither a trade nor a rate.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Split rather than modelled whole: 4.8 million Gold subscribers at $5 a month is $72M of the quarter's $143M, and the remaining $71M - card, Trump Accounts servicing, other fees - is carried as a non-subscriber book growing 8% a quarter.
  • Both halves are disclosed inputs. Gold subscribers and the $5 price are published; the residual is what is left of a reported total once the subscription arithmetic is done, so it absorbs any error in the split.
  • Attach glides from 16% of investment accounts to 40%. Robinhood says roughly 40% of new funded customers take Gold at signup, so the ceiling is set at the rate the company is already achieving on new cohorts rather than at something better.
  • This is the line that changes what the multiple should be. Subscription revenue at a broker is worth more than order flow, and if Gold keeps compounding, the argument for paying a high multiple on total revenue gets easier to make.
