Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD) has recently been on Zacks.com's list of the most searched stocks. Therefore, you might want to consider some of the key factors that could influence the stock's performance in the near future.Over the past month, shares of this company have returned +13.2%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +0.8% change. During this period, the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry, which Robinhood Markets falls in, has gained 2.3%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction?While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making.Earnings Estimate RevisionsHere at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock.We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.Robinhood Markets is expected to post earnings of $0.25 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +733.3%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +51.8%.For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $0.80 points to a change of +231.2% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed +12.3%.For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $0.98 indicates a change of +21.8% from what Robinhood Markets is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +24.5%.Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Robinhood Markets is rated Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate:12 Month EPSProjected Revenue GrowthEven though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial.In the case of Robinhood Markets, the consensus sales estimate of $756.68 million for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +60.7%. The $2.71 billion and $3.16 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +45.1% and +16.8%, respectively.Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryRobinhood Markets reported revenues of $637 million in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +36.4%. EPS of $0.17 for the same period compares with -$0.09 a year ago.Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $661.21 million, the reported revenues represent a surprise of -3.66%. The EPS surprise was -5.56%.Over the last four quarters, Robinhood Markets surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates three times over this period.ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects.While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S) and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price.As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued.Robinhood Markets is graded F on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers.
