Trading app, Robinhood announces first-ever $1 billion buyback plan

Athira Sethu

Kochi, 7 October 2024

Robinhood Markets, one of the most well-known discount brokers in the US, is planning to expand its brokerage services in the United Kingdom as part of its effort to extend beyond its home turf in the US.

In a conference call, CEO Vlad Tenev reaffirmed plans to add margin trading, followed by US stocks options in the UK. This is seen as a move to give clients better access to US investment products and help distinguish it in a highly competitive market.

In March this year, Robinhood added no-commission trading for US-listed stocks in the UK. Tenev said that the platform will also consider enlarging its base to include UK-listed stocks and retirement products for clients in the UK.

Due to the 2021 meme stock trading frenzy in the US, Robinhood gained attention. In that year, its transaction-based revenue had risen to $1.4 billion. The figure had declined to $814 million in 2022 and also dropped to $785 million the previous year.

The discount broker is experiencing inconsistent trading volumes, so it needs to diversify and improve its reach by creating more products as well as expanding globally.

The UK is an important market for Robinhood as it represents the first major foreign market that Robinhood has ventured into besides the US. The company had initially attempted to enter the UK market in 2020 but had postponed its launch date to focus on building its base business in the US. Apart from this, Robinhood has also had attempted to buy out trading app Ziglu of the UK for $170 million last year but that deal fell through.

Founded in 2013 by Stanford University roommates Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt, Robinhood aimed to “democratize finance for all” by eliminating trading fees. Although the company has faced several technical issues and concerns about some of its services, it has played a huge role in promoting retail trading, especially in options. This success pushed other brokerages to also follow through on commission-free trading models.

Forbes reports that the cofounders of Robinhood now are billionaires due to a funding round valued at $11.7 billion as of September 2020. Robinhood is now estimated at around $20.1 billion. The net worth for Tenev and Bhatt are listed by Forbes as Real-Time Billionaires around $1.4 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.

The company is taking major steps in expanding its brokerage services in the UK. This will help the company enhance its overall international presence and benefit from a diversified investment portfolio available to users. With all these innovative and market-sensitive developments from Robinhood, it remains to be seen what concrete effects the company will experience from this expansion.
