Shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. ($HOOD) declined sharply following the company's exclusion from the latest S&P 500 index rebalance. Despite meeting the criteria for inclusion, Robinhood's shares dropped approximately 5% on June 9, 2025, as hopes for joining the index were dashed. The stock experienced an intraday low but recovered to close with a 7% gain off those lows. Market analysts noted a normal pullback and identified potential buying opportunities, with some projecting the stock could reach the $80-$90 range within a few months. Robinhood's platform metrics for May 2025 showed strong growth, with total platform assets rising to $255 billion, up 89% year-over-year, and net deposits reaching $3.5 billion. The company reported 25.9 million funded customers as of May. Despite the setback, market sentiment remains optimistic about Robinhood's eventual inclusion in the S&P 500 and continued momentum in its stock price.
