Market Focus
Aug 20

On August 20, Robinhood rose 4.75% in regular trading, trading at $97.455/share, with turnover of $256 million. The rebound follows a 3%+ decline on August 18 when the broader investment banking and brokerage sector weakened.

On the news front, multiple catalysts are driving the recovery. Robinhood Ventures Fund II (RVII) completed its IPO pricing on August 14, issuing 8 million shares at $25 per share, with total fund size reaching $225.5 million, or up to $255.5 million if underwriters exercise their full option. Goldman Sachs served as lead bookrunner, with Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, UBS, and Wells Fargo as co-bookrunners. Company CFO Shiv Verma stated Robinhood will accelerate the pace of publicly traded closed-end fund debuts to make private markets more accessible to retail investors.

Additionally, Robinhood Chain has accumulated $5 million in fee revenue since launching over a month ago, signaling positive progress in on-chain business. Goldman Sachs recently raised its target price on Robinhood to $123 from $118, maintaining a Buy rating.
