1052 ET - Robinhood Markets' prediction markets business is gaining momentum with volumes accelerating over the past week, putting the metric on track to land nearly 40% ahead of analysts' estimate for the second quarter, Truist Securities analysts say in a note. Prediction revenue could see even greater upside than just applying Wall Street's take rate to the volume upside given the World Cup is likely driving considerable volume, the analysts say. Such contracts are tradable on Robinhood's own Rothera exchange, where it does not share revenue with third-party exchanges, they say. All in, Robinhood is on pace for its best trading month ever in June for equities, options and prediction markets, making for a "hat trick, unassisted by crypto," they say. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
