What’s new? The board of directors of the online broker Robinhood Markets has approved a $1 billion share repurchase program. According to a press release, the move demonstrates “management and the board’s confidence in Robinhood’s financial strength and future growth prospects.”
What else is known? The program is designed to return profits to shareholders as the business and cash flow grow. It will be launched in the third quarter of this year and will run for two to three years, depending on market conditions, security values, and alternative investment opportunities.
Founded in 2012, the online broker provides investors with access to financial markets and allows them to trade stocks, exchange-traded fund (ETF) shares, options, cryptocurrency, and equity shares without fees. Robinhood Crypto’s cryptocurrency division was launched in February 2018.
