On March 24th, Robinhood Markets authorized a $1.5 billion program to buy back its own shares. This provides over $1.1 billion in additional capacity for these repurchases, coming at a time when the company’s share price has been falling in 2026.

Robinhood previously announced it would buy back $1 billion worth of its stock in May 2024, and an additional $500 million in April 2025. As of March 20, 2025, the company had repurchased over 25 million shares at an average price of around $45.

The company’s recent filing indicates that management plans to implement this program over approximately three years, beginning in the first quarter of 2026. There’s currently no set end date for the program.

Robinhood’s CFO, Shiv Verma, described the company’s approval to operate as a sign that investors believe in their future products and ability to increase value for shareholders while also giving money back to them.

“Robinhood is a generational company with a massive long-term opportunity,” Verma noted.

Robinhood is announcing a stock buyback following a significant drop in its share price. The stock reached its highest point in October 2025 but has since lost over half of its value.
