Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD) Made Material Misstatements in its Offering Documents in Support of its IPO

According to the complaint, Robinhood conducted its IPO on July 30, 2021, offering 55 million shares at $38 per share. According to the Offering Documents supporting the IPO, Robinhood's significant growth technology, and commitment to providing users a highly accessible and safe trading experience is what "sets [it] apart" from others in the financial services ecosystem. The Offering Documents also touted Robinhood's growth, including the increase in the Company's transaction-based revenue in the lead up to the IPO.

However, the Offering Documents were misleading because at the time of the offering, Robinhood's revenue growth was experiencing a major reversal, with transaction-based revenues from cryptocurrency trading serving only as a short-term, transitory injection, effectively masking what was stagnating growth. Further, the Company’s “significant investments designed to enhance the reliability and scalability of [its] platform” were patently inadequate and/or defective, which exposed the platform to worsening service-level disruptions and security breaches, particularly as the Company scaled its services to a larger user base.

On October 26, 2021, Robinhood reported its third quarter 2021 results, revealing that it had missed analyst estimates by nearly $73 million and experienced declines in its monthly active users, funded accounts, assets under custody, and average revenue per user. As a result, analysts such as JP Morgan downgraded their target price and concluded "we believe Robinhood has been overearning and guidance will weaken for '22." On this news, Robinhood's stock declined nearly 10.5%, to close at $35.44 per share on October 27, 2021. Then, on November 8, 2021, Robinhood disclosed it had suffered an extensive "data security incident" on November 3, 2021. On this news, the stock declined over two days to close at $34.49 on November 10, 2021. The stock now trades at just around $19.00, or at just 50% the IPO price.

If you purchased shares of Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD) pursuant to the Company's IPO, you have until February 15, 2022, to ask the court to appoint you lead plaintiff for the class.
