What the filing actually says.
The filings show a company whose reported size and profitability grew quickly in 2025, but several details require a closer read. Annual revenue increased from $2.95 billion to $4.47 billion, and net income increased from $1.41 billion to $1.88 billion. Total assets reached $38.14 billion, while total liabilities reached $28.99 billion, so the balance sheet expanded more through obligations than through implied equity. The excerpts name the March 2025 Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for RHS, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, and the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for RHM, but they do not state borrowing amounts, so readers may want to check the debt note in the full filing. Operating metrics changed definition during the year, which affects how Funded Customers, Net Deposits, and Total Platform Assets can be compared over time. The founders hold about 12% of outstanding common stock but more than 50% of the voting power, a concentration the risk factors describe as significant. The risk factors also describe the Nasdaq listing and internal control requirements, along with the possibility of restatement if controls fail. The repurchase program authorizes up to $1.5 billion, but only $2 million had been repurchased as of March 31, 2026, and management expects the program to run about three years. The data contains no Beneish M-Score, Piotroski F-Score, Altman Z-Score, or Fog Index for this company, so this synthesis assigns no value or zone to any of them. Readers may want to look for those screens elsewhere before drawing conclusions about earnings quality or financial health. Overall, the filings document strong reported growth alongside a faster-growing liability base, metric definitions that changed during the year, and concentrated voting control, and a careful reader would want to review the full financial statements and notes.
Catalyst.Reported scale grew sharply in 2025. Revenue rose from $2.95 billion in 2024 to $4.47 billion in 2025, about 51% growth, and net income moved from $1.41 billion to $1.88 billion. The excerpted MD&A tracks Funded Customers, Net Deposits, and Total Platform Assets, and it notes that Bitstamp results enter Net Deposits from June 2025. The excerpts do not break revenue down by product or segment, so the drivers behind the 2025 increase are not shown in the provided text. The March 24, 2026 announcement of a $1.5 billion share repurchase program is also part of the recent filing record.
Hidden risk.Total liabilities rose from $18.21 billion at the end of 2024 to $28.99 billion at the end of 2025, about 59%, faster than total assets, which rose about 46% to $38.14 billion. Subtracting liabilities from assets gives an implied equity figure of roughly $9.15 billion, up from about $7.98 billion. Operating metrics also changed definition: Funded Customers and Total Platform Assets were expanded to include TradePMR and Bitstamp activity during 2025, so year-over-year comparisons mix organic and newly included activity. The risk factors also warn that internal controls could be found ineffective and lead to restatement.
What traders are betting.
The metric
Shares that traders have borrowed and sold, betting the price will fall, and not yet bought back. Brokers report the total to FINRA twice a month. Days to cover divides it by the shares that change hands on a typical day.

What it tells us
A noticeable minority of traders is betting that HOOD shares will fall.
Short sellers added to their bets: shares sold short grew 12.6% since the Aug 31 report.
At normal trading volume, short sellers could buy back every borrowed share in under two days.
How investors use it
- Squeeze watching. Some aggressive traders seek out heavily shorted stocks, betting that good news will force short sellers to buy back shares and push the price higher.
- Hedging. Funds short one company to offset risk in another, often owning a stronger business and shorting a weaker one in the same industry.
- Timing. Chart-based traders pair rising short interest with price patterns, such as a break below a level where buyers used to step in, to decide when to enter or exit.
- Warning sign. Some owners treat a sharp rise in short interest as a red flag and respond by tightening stop-loss orders or holding smaller positions.
