August saw a lot of familiar names and one significant change. Salesforce’s presence in second place in July was short-lived, it dropped to 40th place in August. There was only one new name on the list, SoFi Technologies. The personal finance company which offers a stock trading platform among its services, snuck up 3 spots to reach number 10.
Not quite making it into the top 10, but certainly worth a mention is Robinhood. The trading platform held its IPO on July 29th and was the 13th most purchased stock of August. It will be interesting to see if it makes the top 10 in September and whether SoFi will remain on the list.
