Discipline No late Form 4s in 98 filings 10/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

On the record with shareholders

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Jul 29, 2026 Tenev used the five-year anniversary of the IPO to argue that Robinhood is no longer a trading app with adjacent products but three businesses being built at once — being number one with active traders, owning the wallet of the next generation, and assembling a global financial ecosystem — and that the quarter's records fall out of that rather than out of a favourable tape. He leaned hardest on the newest of the three: Robinhood Chain doing more than $12 billion of decentralised-exchange volume and passing 150 million transactions within weeks of launch, stock tokens in more than 120 countries, over a million funded accounts outside the US, and a Gold Card past a million holders and a $17 billion annualised purchase run-rate. He was candid where the story is early, describing agentic trading as something 100,000 accounts have wired up but that still asks too much of the customer, and models that argue back when asked to trade.
