On July 16, Robinhood declined 3.09% in regular trading, trading at $110.895/share, with turnover of $269 million. The sell-off was driven by a combination of insider and institutional selling pressure.
CEO and Director Vlad Tenev filed a Form 144 indicating plans to sell 327,500 shares of common stock valued at approximately $37.15 million. Notably, Tenev had already sold 375,000 shares on July 6 through a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan at prices between $111.69 and $118.63, bringing his cumulative planned disposals within two weeks to nearly $80 million. Separately, Cathie Wood's Ark Invest sold approximately $3.9 million in Robinhood shares on the same day, marking its second reduction in under a week following a $9.8 million sale on July 10.
The concentrated insider selling weighed on market sentiment ahead of Robinhood's second-quarter earnings release scheduled for July 29, despite multiple investment banks recently raising their price targets, with Goldman Sachs lifting its target to $137 and maintaining a Buy rating.
