The popular trading platform Robinhood is planning to go public with a $2 billion IPO this week. Editor Monica Savaglia goes in-depth about the company and its IPO details. [Energy and Capital logo] Robinhood Goes Public This Week By Monica Savaglia Written Jul 25, 2021 In four days, one of the most well-known trading platforms, Robinhood, plans to go public, and its expectations are high. Robinhood is aiming for a market valuation of about $35 billion for its upcoming IPO. This past Monday, the company released an amended prospectus. Inside that prospectus, the company announced that it plans to sell 55 million shares at a range of $38–$42 per share, which would mean its IPO would earn over $2 billion. Back in September during its last private market valuation, the company was valued at $11.7 billion. Also, in its updated prospectus, Robinhood updated some of its financials and user metrics. As of the second quarter of 2021, Robinhood estimates that it has 22.5 million funded accounts (accounts connected to a bank account). This was an increase from 18 million funded accounts in the first quarter in 2021. As for the company’s revenue, it estimates that second-quarter 2021 revenue was between $546 million and $574 million, which would indicate an increase of about 128% from 2020’s second quarter — $244 million. Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and JP Morgan are the lead underwriters on its IPO. Robinhood will be listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “HOOD.” The company found itself surrounded by this year’s meme stock phenomenon, which brought even more attention to the company and its free trading app. The California-based company was created less than a decade ago in 2014. Its app was designed to give everyday people the opportunity to invest without having to pay commissions. This objective has forced some of Robinhood’s rivals to follow suit by getting rid of commissions and offering apps that made trading easier and more approachable. Have You Heard of “TriFuel-238”? A single ounce could power your home for a year. Under half an ounce could get you from LA to D.C. And now, according to figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration... The breakthrough known as "TriFuel-238"... Could trigger a wealth event unseen since the dawn of the internet... As it takes the throne as the cheapest source of energy on the planet. This has nothing to do with renewables or fossil fuels — or virtually anything you’ve ever seen before. Yet this strange substance could now claim the lion’s share of a $1.9 trillion opportunity... And hand early investors a potential life-changing fortune. [Click here for the urgent details.]( Robinhood Grew Its Revenue and Users Robinhood’s platform has soared in the past year and a half. The coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions put in place because of the pandemic left many people at home in search of new ways to spend their time — and money. Many people were working from home and now had the time to learn about trading and to pay attention to the markets. Robinhood’s platform was easy to use and quickly became a go-to for these new investors who gained an interest in trading. Then you add in the excitement at the beginning of 2021 with meme stocks like the infamous GameStop (NYSE: GME) rally, which could be the reason behind Robinhood’s surge in revenue from January–March... Not to mention that the IPO market continues to be busy and robust. According to Renaissance Capital's calculations, June closed out on a high note with the busiest week for traditional IPOs since 2004. Dealogic states that U.S. IPOs have already totaled about $171 billion in 2021, which has already surpassed 2020’s record $168 billion. The IPO market is hotter than ever, and an IPO from Robinhood couldn’t come at a better time for the company. The Backing That Robinhood Needs The global investment arm of Salesforce.com has an interest in purchasing up to $150 million worth of Class A common stock at Robinhood’s IPO price. Salesforce Ventures aims to invest in next-generation technology, so if it’s investing in Robinhood, it must believe that the company and its platform will have an impact on the future of technology. Invest in Companies BEFORE They Go Public If you’re investing in stocks, especially in technology stocks, then you’re missing out BIG TIME! In fact, according to Inc., you’re missing out on "95% of the gains." For every $100 in profit those companies are making investors, you’re only getting five measly bucks. If that sounds unfair and you want access to the other 95% of the profits, then I’ve got an offer for you... Thanks to a recent act of Congress, the private markets where all those profits are taken, which were once off-limits to all but the super-wealthy and well-connected, are now open to all. [Just click here and you’ll learn how to get started today...]( Another unique aspect about Robinhood’s upcoming IPO is that it expects to allow its users to buy at its IPO. Robinhood expects to sell between 20% and 35% of its IPO shares to its users — equating to about 18.3 million shares. Robinhood has prided itself on giving retail investors the opportunity and accessibility to participate in stock trading, something most retail investors thought was off-limits for them. Unfortunately, a lot of everyday people thought investing was something they couldn’t do, but Robinhood wanted these people to know that's not true. That is why Robinhood is staying true to its values by giving retail investors better access to IPOs, which has notoriously been reserved for wealthier brokerage clients and institutional investors. Instead of having retail investors wait until shares start trading, they will now have access to Robinhood’s IPO shares. However, that doesn’t mean they'll be exempt from the complications that come along with participating early in an IPO. Investing in IPOs early can be risky for some investors since the company's goal is generally to sell potential investors on a story in order to earn the most money from its IPO. It's difficult to get the full picture of the company and its financials this early on. Robinhood Goes Public This Week Robinhood is expected to go public this Thursday, July 29. This IPO is set to be massive and will carry a lot of hype because the company has become so well-known over the past few years and has seen growth in revenue and users since the pandemic. However, at this time, the company might be a little too risky. If interested, this is a company you'll want to follow after its IPO to get a better understanding of its financials and future growth expectations and really get the full picture of the company.

Until next time, [Monica Savaglia Signature Park Avenue Digest] Monica Savaglia --------------------------------------------------------------- Don’t Buy Ford… Buy This Instead Ford (NYSE: F) is investing $185 million into a new battery lab that will eventually build its own cells for electric vehicles. You see, carmakers are hopping on the bandwagon in making their own EV batteries. This will not only save them loads of money, but it will also break their dependency on third parties for supply. This EV market lies right in the middle of a $3 trillion energy industry... The way things are looking right now, Ford could be in a position to build its own EV batteries by 2025. As exciting as all this is, I’m still not buying Ford stock. I think the stock is way overpriced. Instead, I found another way to make a fortune from the market’s push to perfect the EV battery. This technology is slightly larger than a pinhead but can help power football stadiums, aircraft carriers, and even your entire city for up to 150 years without being replaced! PWC says this energy breakthrough will kick-start the "fourth industrial revolution." Heavyweights like Vanguard, Fidelity, and Morgan Stanley have already funneled over $1 billion into bringing this technology to market. And the tiny company behind it all is still operating under the radar… but not for long. It has already inked deals to supply this tech to some of the largest corporations in the world. Its popularity and share price could skyrocket at any moment.
