Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock is set to start trading today after briefing investors about its initial public offering (IPO) plans last week.
The Robinhood IPO will see the company listing shares on the Nasdaq Exchange under the HOOD stock ticker. The IPO prices these shares at $38 each. That’s at the low end of the company’s IPO price range of $38 to $42 per share.
Robinhood will be selling some 55 million shares in its IPO. This values the company at $32 billion. In addition to this, the trading platform has also set aside 35% of the offering for its customers. That’s a hefty amount being set aside for retail traders and makes this IPO stand out from others.
With news of the Robinhood IPO spreading, let’s see what traders on social media have to say about it.

Robinhood IPO $HOOD…. going to throw it out there and say it trades to $30 despite an issuance price of $38. Seems like the hive mind all has their fingers on the sell button

Apes (LISTEN UP). Robinhood IPO is opening today. Pretty much the same exact price as AMC closed, do not feed into the bullshit. Do not sell ( I know you already know this ). Mainly to the new apes, amc is THE WAY. Or make money on the IPO, sell. Buy more #AMC 😉. $AMC

Meme stock traders memeing on Robinhood as its IPO launches makes complete sense. When they needed it most earlier this year, it vanished by not allowing them to trade shares of popular stocks at the time, such as GameStop (NYSE:GME).
While we can’t say for sure if meme stock traders will ruin the Robinhood IPO today, it could happen. We’ll have to wait and see how the shares move after trading starts later today. Until then, enjoy the slew of memes popping up on Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) today.
