Robinhood exec touts retail investor strength, says overnight trading the future
By Ateev Bhandari (Reuters) -Robinhood (HOOD)executive Steve Quirk on Thursday credited retail investors with helping the market rebound after a sharp plunge in April, adding that young self-directed traders were increasingly making trades outside traditional hours. His comments came in reference to the market turmoil that followed U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs on Liberation Day earlier this year. "This is the second occurrence where I would argue retail came to the rescue of the market. COVID (was) probably the first," said Quirk, Robinhood's chief brokerage officer, at the Piper Sandler Global Exchange & Trading Conference in New York. Retail investors have evolved into a notable market force since the GameStop short-squeeze of 2020, buying $4.7 billion in stocks on April 3, the highest level over the past decade, according to JPMorgan estimates. This was a day after Trump launched his erratic tit-for-tat tariff campaign, which roiled markets worldwide, scuttled dealmaking, and dampened consumer sentiment. Another way retail investors are changing the markets is through overnight trading, which is growing in popularity as global demand for U.S. stocks surges. Robinhood's users, especially those in their 30s, "do the research and homework in the evening," and expect to be able to make trades whenever they wish, Quirk said. Trading volume outside traditional hours has also spiked sharply as a tumultuous period of U.S. policy in recent months has kept markets on edge. There have often been steep selloffs in after-hour trading if material pivots on trade policy were announced late in the day. Robinhood estimates up to a quarter of its total daily trading volume on its busiest days comes from outside traditional market hours. May was the biggest month at the company for overnight trading, by volume, according to Quirk. "You will look back in a couple years and laugh at the notion that we waited until 9:30 Eastern for trading to start," said Quirk. Robinhood and competitor Interactive Brokers have been offering overnight trading for limited equities for a few years now.

PONTE VEDRA, Fla., June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. ('Treace' or the 'Company') (NasdaqGS: TMCI), a medical technology company driving a fundamental shift in the surgical treatment of bunions and related midfoot deformities through its flagship Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures, today announced that it filed a lawsuit against Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. and Paragon 28, Inc. (collectively, 'Zimmer') (NYSE: ZBH), alleging infringement of 4 patents related to Treace's innovative Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® technologies. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and seeks injunctive relief and damages. 'Treace Medical was the first company to develop, patent, and introduce an instrumented 3D bunion correction system for true tri-planar lapidus bunion correction and is the recognized leader in the surgical treatment of bunions. We believe that this lawsuit is necessary to protect the significant investments we have made in our pioneering research and technology, which is in the best interest of our stockholders,' said John T.

About Treace Medical Concepts Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. is a medical technology company with the goal of advancing the standard of care for the surgical management of bunion and related midfoot deformities. Bunions are complex 3-dimensional deformities that originate from an unstable joint in the middle of the foot and affect approximately 67 million Americans, of which Treace estimates 1.1 million are annual surgical candidates. Treace has pioneered and patented the Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction® System – a combination of instruments, implants, and surgical methods designed to surgically correct all three planes of the bunion deformity and secure the unstable joint, addressing the root cause of the bunion and helping patients get back to their active lifestyles. To further support the needs of bunion patients, Treace has introduced its Adductoplasty® Midfoot Correction System, designed for reproducible surgical correction of midfoot deformities, the SpeedMTP™ Rapid Compression Implant for addressing bunions through big toe joint fusions, and two systems for minimally invasive osteotomy surgeries: the Nanoplasty™ 3D Minimally Invasive Bunion Correction System and the Percuplasty™ Percutaneous 3D Bunion Correction System. The Company continues to expand its footprint in the foot and ankle market with the introduction of its SpeedPlate™ Rapid Compression Implants, an innovative fixation platform with broad versatility across Lapiplasty® and Adductoplasty® procedures, as well as other common bone fusion procedures of the foot.
