In addition, he believes Robinhood can sustain 20% annual revenue growth for years ahead.

Cyprys pointed to healthy transactional activities by brokers and exchanges in the ongoing fourth quarter. However, the analyst's projection for Robinhood's earnings per share estimates for the quarter — which is expected around mid-February next year — is in line with consensus.
