Market Information for Common Stock
Our Class A common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “HOOD” since July 29, 2021. Prior to that time, there was no public market for our stock.
Our Class B and Class C common stock are not listed on any stock exchange nor traded on any public market.
Holders of Record
As of February 22, 2024, there were 82 stockholders of record of our Class A common stock. Because many of our shares of Class A common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, we are unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders. As of February 22, 2024, there were eight stockholders of record of our Class B common stock and zero stockholders of record of our Class C common stock.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination regarding the declaration and payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects, and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, the terms of our current credit facilities contain restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
From January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 we did not sell any shares of Class A common stock (or other equity securities of Robinhood Markets, Inc.) that were not registered under the Securities Act.

The graph above compares the cumulative total stockholder return on our Class A common stock with the cumulative total return of the KBW NASDAQ Financial Technology Index and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The graph assumes (i) that $100 was invested at the market close on July 29, 2021, the date that our Class A common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in each of our Class A common stock, the KBW NASDAQ Financial Technology Index, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and (ii) reinvestment of gross dividends. The graph uses the closing market price on July 29, 2021 of $34.82 per share as the initial value of our Class A common stock. The stock price performance shown in the graph represents past performance and should not be considered an indication of future stock price performance.
