Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD): Among Stocks That Could 10X Over the Next 2 Years

We recently published a list of 9 Stocks That Could 10X Over the Next 2 Years. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) stands against other stocks that could 10X over the next 2 years.

US Tariffs and the Stock Market Turmoil

While tariffs from the US government disrupted international trade, they also led to uncertainty and turbulence in financial markets, with the  S&P 500 closing below 5,000 points for the first time in nearly a year. An analysis from the World Economic Forum regarding how tariffs cause volatility in financial markets was stated in the words of Santiago Fernández de Lis, Head of Regulation, BBVA, as follows:

“The main impact of trade tensions on global markets is through uncertainty. When major economies—like the US and China—engage in a tariff war, investors fear slower global trade, disrupted supply chains and weakened corporate profits. This anxiety translates into market volatility. Companies delay investment decisions, consumers lose confidence, and currencies fluctuate wildly.”

However, global markets rebounded later as the US president made an announcement of a 90-day pause on additional higher tariffs that had to impact almost 80 countries, with the exception of China. In the case of China, the new president is convinced to keep high tariffs as he stated that these tariffs would be increased to 125% from 104% following China’s announcement of additional retaliatory tariffs against the US.

Following this pause in tariffs, Wall Street witnessed a sigh of relief. The S&P 500 rose 9.52%, thereby marking its biggest one-day gain since 2008. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed almost 7.87%  to close at 40,608.45. Simultaneously, the tech-heavy Nasdaq soared 12.2% and had its best day since January 2001.
