Robinhood in a “Food Fight” for Anthropic IPO Shares as Crypto Trading Cools

Robinhood (HOOD) is competing for shares in Anthropic's potential record IPO, with CFO Shiv Verma calling the process a 'food fight'. Robinhood's crypto revenue fell 55% in Q3, contributing to a 12% total revenue growth slowdown. The company trades at 27x forward earnings, below its 3-year average. Analysts expect a 40% earnings jump next year, but growth depends on retaining new accounts from IPO allocations.
