Robinhood’s 207% crushes Nvidia’s 30%: Here’s why nobody saw it coming

Everyone spent 2025 obsessing over Nvidia. AI chips, data centers, trillion-dollar valuations. You know the drill. Meanwhile, Robinhood Markets was quietly putting together one of the most spectacular rallies of the year. The stock tripled. Up 207%. That’s not a typo.

To put this in perspective: Nvidia, the darling of Wall Street, gained around 30% in 2025. Robinhood crushed it by 7x. And it wasn’t just beating Nvidia. It demolished Charles Schwab (up 34%) and became one of the top performers in the entire S&P 500.
