    Robinhood has spent the past few years trying to outgrow its meme-stock reputation, and the clearest sign that it is thinking differently now sits far from Menlo Park.

Price climbed to roughly $124,700 in late October before breaking down toward the mid-$80,000s in November, a swing that erased more than $40,000 from peak to trough.
