4 new tech IPOs in 2021: Affirm, Robinhood, Roblox, SoFi

  1. 2

    My take on these stocks are:

    • Affirm, they are doing good by disrupting lending but at the same time we need to look at their future. I hope they don't go to a path of traditional banks where add fees to scam clients and get more money.
    • Roblox, is a boom now, but how they will stay like that overtime? Very small portion of the gaming industry stays for very long time.
    • Robinhood, customer here!!! are they going to keep growing, mainly with the competition and the recently notice that they are scamming people through hidden fees? As a customer I know that they are getting their revenue in delaying the transaction at a different price of the market, but is that going to influence others to move away to a different service?
    • SoFi, another similar than Affirm.

    In conclusion, the big winner is still Robinhood in this contest.

    All I know about stocks is going /r/wallstreetbets on some pennystocks when I'm bored, so basically none, but with the amount of issues that Robinhood has had over the last year or so I feel like it's a risky bet.

    I think RobinHood might reconsider their IPO after today's events...

    from The Hustle:

    • Affirm, America's leading "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) fintech firm, just closed its $264m acquisition of Canadian BNPL player PayBright and is targeting a $9B IPO. […]
    • Roblox, which was targeting an IPO price of ~$8B in November, will now do a direct listing at a slightly higher number: ~$30B (!!). […]
    • Robinhood: The popular trading app — valued at $11.7B and with 13m+ users — is considering selling some of its IPO shares directly to users on its app. […]
    • SoFi will go public via a SPAC backed by billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya. This move will value the online lender at $8.65B, up from its most previous private round of $5.7B.
