As Robinhood Markets (HOOD) surged over 15% in a single day, Jim Cramer also joined the bullish sentiment.

According to TheStreet on September 4 (local time), Jim Cramer, CNBC host and former hedge fund manager, noted that young investors continue to flock to Robinhood. He stated that Robinhood is growing, especially among investors aged 21-30, saying, “It continues to grow and grow.” While expressing caution about short-term trading by young people, he commented, “We should applaud the fact that they are investing.”

Wall Street is also looking favorably at Robinhood again. Morgan Stanley upgraded its investment opinion on Robinhood to Overweight this week and raised its target price from $124 to $150. Bernstein also maintained its target price of $160. Robinhood's stock price surged over 15% on September 3 alone.

Morgan Stanley analyst Michael Cyprys cited Robinhood's business expansion as the basis for the target price increase. He emphasized that over 2 million users generated $156 million in revenue in Q2 while also adopting other products. Robinhood is expanding its business beyond cryptocurrency trading to include prediction markets, perpetual futures, and AI agent-based trading.

Cramer's more positive evaluation of Robinhood is also due to business diversification. When Carl Quintanilla, CNBC co-host, pointed out that Robinhood is no longer tied solely to Bitcoin or cryptocurrency trends, Cramer agreed. He said that the company's business structure moving away from cryptocurrency dependence is “the reason why I like Robinhood more and more.”
