Robinhood Markets Lawsuit Tied to 2021 IPO Gets Revived by Appeals Court
Aug 29, 2025 12:19 PM

02:47 PM EDT, 08/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Robinhood Markets ( HOOD ) is facing revival of an investor lawsuit over alleged omissions in its July 2021 initial public offering registration statement, a federal appellate court said Friday.

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has now in part revived a securities class action lawsuit against the online brokerage firm, ruling that a lower court erred in dismissing investor claims from 2021, it said.

Plaintiffs alleged that Robinhood left out "material information" from the registration statement, according to the court filing.

Robinhood increasingly turned its attention on trades of so-called "meme stocks" and dogecoin (DOGE-USD) in the early months of 2021 but its business slumped when meme stock-trading largely ceased, the filing said.

The company launched an IPO in July 2021 and its registration statement contained "only limited information" about its Q2 performance. After the IPO, the company reported Q2 results and shares fell following the release, the filing said.

The case will now be reinstated in California district court to determine if the company had failed to disclose the material information, the court said.

Robinhood didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
