Robinhood Markets, Inc. Class A Common Stock HOOD Summit '26

Good morning and welcome to HOOD Summit 2026. We're excited to have you here with us today. The opening session will begin in 10 minutes. Now would be a good time to take a seat. Please welcome to the stage Robinhood Chairman and CEO, Vlad Tenev, and Chief Brokerage Officer, Steve Quirk.

What's up, everyone? How's everyone doing? Well, thank you for rising early with us.

I know it's a little bit- Has the coffee kicked in yet?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, there we go.

Good. Who was up all night trading?

I think there's a coffee station out there, isn't there?

How are you doing? I am doing well.

Yeah. It was really fun with the presentation yesterday, but it was very fun talking to everybody afterwards. It is always fun to hear what is resonating and how you are going to use it. A lot of people were talking to me about what they are going to use and what they are excited about. So that was really fun.

What did you hear? What was your favorite?

I have heard a lot about the hours. A lot of people are excited about having the ability to be able to trade when things are happening, because so much is happening. I do not know if you guys saw this, about five years ago, they did this study about the market's performance if I just traded in the day and bought, and if I bought after the market closed. It was, the market significantly outperformed if I traded in that period and invested in that period.

All the gains and the big moves happen overnight.

Yeah. It was kind of cool. It's just something that's really interesting.

I'll tell you my least favorite part of HOOD Summit so far, because it's been generally good, but there's been one part that's left me very unhappy, which is because we have so many people, it's over 1,500, our biggest yet, I wasn't able to get through the entire selfie line. I apologize in advance if you see me shuffling around to places. They've told me that if I had to take a selfie with everyone and their significant other, it would take me 72 hours. Which is amazing. I remember when this was a little intimate thing, and the first HOOD Summit in Miami was- Yeah a couple hundred people.

But you know what's really cool? I probably met 50 people who have been at every one of them- Yeah yesterday, which is really cool.
