Robinhood Markets Inc., or simply Robinhood, is a U.S.-based financial services company headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The company offers the Robinhood smartphone mobile app, which allows individuals to invest in publicly tradedcompanies and exchange-traded funds listed on U.S. stock exchanges without paying a commission. The company makes money from interest earned on customers’ cash balances and margin lending, and by selling order flow to high frequency trading firms.
After an April 2017 fundraising, Robinhood had a $1.3 billion valuation. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2018 that the company had closed another round of financing that valued the company at $5.6 billion.
While the euphoria related to Tesla and Apple stock split has caught up with investors seeing this as an opportunity to get their hands on the tech stocks, analysts believe this tendency may be somewhat misguided.
With the latest funding, Robinhood announced an additional $200 million amid a season of consistent growth for the company.
