[FinanceFeeds](https://financefeeds.com/robinhood-hood-stock-84-58-thursday-anthropic-ipo-retail-allocation-targets-100-135/) reported the filing, which was made on November 10.\n\n## Robinhood's Role in the Anthropic Offering\n\nThe amended S-1 covers 825 million Class A shares at $70 to $78, with pricing reported for November 18 and trading for November 19, according to CNBC. At the $74 midpoint, the retail portion of up to 20 percent would be worth roughly $12 billion. Robinhood customers can request shares through IPO Access at the offering price, and TradePMR, the company's adviser platform, is also named.\n\nCFO Shiv Verma said Robinhood will take part and wants retail investors to receive larger slices of IPOs, but stressed that the issuer and its banks decide the split. Robinhood does not decide the allocation and does not guarantee shares to anyone who requests them. On November 9, Robinhood extended commission-free IPO access to UK customers.\n\nKeefe, Bruyette & Woods cut its target on [Robinhood](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00000k7/robinhood) to $105 from $115 with a Market Perform rating after the company's third-quarter results, one of five target cuts among the six sell-side analysts tracked by Blockchain.News. [Keefe, Bruyette & Woods](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/003vkii/keefe-bruyette-woods) also initiated coverage on American Savings Bank of Hawaii with a market-perform rating and a $19 price target, according to American Banking and Market News.\n\n## Robinhood's Capital and Customer Base\n\nRobinhood closed a $2.2 billion private placement of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2029 in June 2026, with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan as co-leads, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). Net proceeds of approximately $2.169 billion were earmarked for share repurchases, capped call transactions, and acquisitions.\n\n| Figure | Detail |\n| --- | --- |\n| Convertible notes | $2.2 billion, 0.00% due 2029 |\n| Net proceeds | Approximately $2.169 billion |\n| Total funding | $8.2 billion |\n| Funding rounds on record | 30 |\n\nThe same records list a $2.4 billion private equity round in February 2021 led by Ribbit Capital and a $648.3 million post-IPO secondary in May 2022 led by Emergent Fidelity Technologies.\n\n## Robinhood's Run-Up to the Listing\n\nRobinhood launched its IPO Access service in the UK on November 9, letting retail customers request shares in new US listings at the initial offer price without commission fees, Investing.com reported. Robinhood reported about $15 billion in net deposits for October 2026, with Trump Accounts contributing $6.5 billion, while crypto trading volume fell 48% year-over-year to $17 billion, according to Crypto Briefing.
