Robinhood hits 52-week high

Shares of online brokerage Robinhood Markets closed at their second-highest level ever on Monday, reaching a fresh 52-week high as tech shares outperformed the broader markets in a day of seesaw trading.

(Sherwood Media is an editorially independent subsidiary of Robinhood Markets Inc.)

Robinhood has been on a searing run that’s carried the shares up almost 100% since their April 8 low. The stock is now only 3% below its all-time high of $70.39, reached in August 2021 shortly after its IPO.

Wall Street’s earnings expectations for the coming quarters have grown since the company reported better-than-expected Q1 results in April.

But the stock price has risen even faster, with the market valuing Robinhood at a 48x multiple of expected earnings over the next 12 months, the highest level in a year.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
