Robinhood Acts as IPO Underwriter for the First Time in Oura Listing

Robinhood has been named as an underwriter for the IPO of smart ring manufacturer Oura, marking its first formal participation in an IPO underwriting process. Oura is expected to be valued at over $11 billion, with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Allen & Co., and Jefferies serving as lead underwriters. Robinhood, which received regulatory approval for underwriting in June, is ranked last among the 18 participating institutions. This role may allow Robinhood to influence stock allocation for its retail customers.
