  • Citigroup: Maintained a Sell rating but raised the price target from $16 to $18.

How To Buy HOOD Stock?

For Robinhood Markets, which is trading at $22.64 on Tuesday, $100 would buy you 4.42 shares of stock.

If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to “go short” a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource.

Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
