Webull scores just 2/6 on our valuation checks. See what other red flags we found in the full valuation breakdown.
Approach 1: Webull Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis
A Discounted Cash Flow model projects a company’s future cash flows and then discounts those amounts back to today using a required rate of return. The idea is simple: what is all that future cash worth in today’s dollars?
For Webull, the model uses a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is about $386.5 million. Simply Wall St then projects free cash flow out to 2035, with estimates such as $405.3 million in 2026 and $565.8 million in 2035, and discounts each year back to today using its chosen rate.
Adding those discounted cash flows together, plus a terminal value, gives an estimated intrinsic value of US$18.36 per share. Compared with the recent share price of US$4.94, the DCF output implies the stock is about 73.1% undervalued based on these cash flow assumptions.
Result: UNDERVALUED
Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests Webull is undervalued by 73.1%. Track this in your watchlist or portfolio, or discover 61 more high quality undervalued stocks.
Approach 2: Webull Price vs Sales
For many profitable companies, revenue-based valuation tools like the P/S ratio help you see what investors are paying for each dollar of sales, which can be useful when earnings are volatile or shaped by non-cash items.
Growth expectations and risk usually sit behind what looks like a “normal” P/S multiple. Higher expected growth or more predictable revenue can support a higher ratio, while greater uncertainty or weaker growth potential tends to justify a lower one.
Webull currently trades on a P/S ratio of 4.53x. That sits above the Capital Markets industry average of 3.33x and the peer average of 1.11x. Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary “Fair Ratio” of 3.30x, which represents the P/S multiple suggested by factors such as Webull’s earnings growth profile, industry, profit margins, market cap and risk characteristics.
This Fair Ratio can be more useful than a simple comparison with peers or the industry average because it blends these company-specific drivers rather than relying on broad group averages that may include very different businesses.
Comparing Webull’s current 4.53x P/S to the Fair Ratio of 3.30x suggests the shares trade at a premium on this metric.
Result: OVERVALUED

Upgrade Your Decision Making: Choose your Webull Narrative
Earlier the article mentioned that there is an even better way to understand valuation, so here is Narratives, which simply means attaching a clear story about Webull's future revenue, earnings and margins to a set of numbers that roll into a Fair Value which you can compare with the current share price.
On Simply Wall St's Community page, Narratives let you see and create these stories in an accessible format, linking what you believe about Webull's business, like the role of AI tools, subscriptions or global expansion, directly to a forecast and then to a Fair Value that updates when new earnings or news arrive.
For Webull, one investor might build a Narrative closer to the bullish Fair Value of US$14.00 that leans on faster growth in revenue and earnings. Another might anchor around the more cautious US$9.00 view that assumes lower growth or more pressure on margins. By setting either of these Fair Values against the current price, you can decide whether Webull looks priced above or below what that story suggests.
