Robinhood Markets (HOOD) is a revolutionary fintech company that changed the way that many retail investors buy and sell stocks. The company’s easy-to-use app made investing fun, and its commission-free stock trades meant that users could avoid using a paid broker to make changes to their portfolio.
There are a lot of companies that have followed Robinhood’s lead in offering free trades and fractional shares, but Robinhood was a true innovator. Now the company is preparing to step up to the podium after the closing bell Tuesday for its first-quarter earnings report.
