Background on the Robinhood Securities Class Litigation

Robinhood, headquartered in Menlo Park, California, provides a platform through which investors can buy and sell stocks, exchange traded funds, and cryptocurrencies.

The action alleges that the registration statement and prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s IPO made representations that were materially inaccurate, misleading, and/or incomplete because they failed to disclose that, at the time of the IPO, Robinhood’s revenue growth was slowing significantly and were masked by transitory boosts of revenues from cryptocurrency transactions; and the Company’s purported investments in increasing its platform’s reliability were in fact inadequate, leaving Robinhood vulnerable to security breaches and disruptions in services.

On October 26, 2021, after markets closed, Robinhood revealed that (1) its total net revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was only $365 million, falling short of analysts’ estimates by nearly $73 million, and that its monthly active users (“MAUs”), funded accounts, assets under custody, and average revenue per user had all declined; (2) third quarter revenues from cryptocurrency transactions had fallen $182 million from the previous quarter; (3) net losses increased $11 million to $1.32 billion because of a $1.24 billion stock-based compensation expense; and (4) the Company reduced its full year revenue guidance to “less than $1.8 billion,” amounting to maximum growth of 85% for the year, which fell short of analysts’ estimates of 111% growth. On this news, the price of Robinhood stock fell $4.13 per share, or 10.43%, from its closing price of $39.57 on October 26, 2021, to close at $35.44 per share on October 27, 2021, on extremely heavy trading volume.

On November 8, 2021, after the markets closed, the Company announced that on November 3, 2021 it had experienced a “data security incident,” wherein an “unauthorized third party” had obtained email addresses for approximately five million Robinhood users, the full names of about two million users, and additional personal information of 310 other users, including names, dates of birth, and zip codes, with ten of those users suffering breaches that were even “more extensive.” On this news, the price of Robinhood stock fell $1.28 per share, or 3.37%, from a closing price of $37.98 on November 8, 2021, to close at $36.70 per share on November 9, 2021, on elevated trading volume.
