Why Webull is back on traders’ radar

Webull (BULL) is drawing fresh attention after announcing support for upcoming changes to Pattern Day Trader rules, a new zero commission offer in Canada, and a US$100 million share repurchase program.

The recent share repurchase plan, support for upcoming Pattern Day Trader rule changes, and the Canadian zero commission launch have coincided with a sharp 7 day share price return of 20.62% and 30 day share price return of 36.84%. However, the year to date share price return of a 14.29% decline and 1 year total shareholder return of a 70.10% loss show that momentum is recovering from a weak longer term backdrop.

With Webull trading at US$7.02 and sitting at a reported 66% discount to analyst targets and a 75% intrinsic discount, the key question is whether this signals an undervalued entry point or whether the market already reflects its growth prospects.

Most Popular Narrative: 39.8% Undervalued

At a last close of $7.02 against a narrative fair value of $11.67, the current pricing sits well below what the most popular thesis implies.

Rapid adoption and reintroduction of crypto trading, alongside the platform's ability to quickly add new digital asset classes and prediction markets, positions Webull to capture growing demand for broad, mobile-accessible investment options, fueling revenue growth and market share.

Curious what kind of revenue curve, margin shift, and future earnings multiple could justify that higher value on a loss making broker? The narrative leans heavily on fast top line expansion, a sharp swing into profitability, and a premium P/E benchmark, all tied to that global product rollout.

Result: Fair Value of $11.67 (UNDERVALUED)

However, you still need to weigh risks such as tighter global regulations on digital assets and intense fee competition, which could limit growth in higher margin products.

Another angle on valuation

The AI narrative and analyst targets point to upside, but the P/S ratio tells a different story. At 6.8x sales, Webull screens as expensive versus a fair ratio of 3.2x, the US Capital Markets average of 3.7x, and peer average of 1.9x, which raises the risk that expectations are already demanding.

Before you lean on price targets alone, it can help to stress test them against what the revenue multiple is implying for future execution risk and margin delivery, and whether that fits your own thesis on the business.
