Webull just got a fresh vote of confidence from Wall Street. Compass Point analyst Ed Engel kicked off coverage with a Buy rating and a $9 price target, suggesting roughly 64% upside from where the stock sits today.

Webull Corporation Class A Ordinary Shares, BULL

Engel described Webull as “a new name to watch” — an online brokerage still in the early chapters of its growth story.

The stock currently trades at around $5.48, well off its 52-week high of $79.56. The wide range tells you this has been a volatile ride for investors.

Webull’s platform lets retail traders buy stocks, ETFs, options, and crypto — all through mobile and desktop apps. It competes in a crowded space but has carved out a following among active traders.

Engel’s bull case centers on two newer business lines: prediction markets and crypto trading. Both started rolling out in 2025 and are expected to drive above-average growth through 2028.

The analyst believes these segments could help Webull grow faster than peers like Robinhood (HOOD) and Interactive Brokers (IBKR) over the next few years.

Valuation and Revenue Growth

On valuation, Webull currently trades at about 20 times earnings — roughly in line with those more established competitors. Engel’s argument is simple: if Webull grows faster, it should eventually trade at a premium, not a discount.

Revenue tells a solid story so far. In its most recent results, Webull posted $165.2 million in revenue, up from $110.3 million a year earlier. That’s nearly a 50% jump year-over-year.

The growth was driven by higher trading volumes and stronger user engagement across the platform.

Engel thinks the stock could rerate higher as institutional investors start paying closer attention to Webull’s numbers.

Right now, around 92.48% of the stock is held by hedge funds and institutional investors, so there’s already some heavyweight backing in place.

Analyst Ratings Are Split

Not everyone on the Street shares Engel’s optimism. The overall consensus from five brokerages sits at “Moderate Buy,” but the breakdown is uneven.

One analyst has a sell rating, one has a hold, two have a buy, and one has a strong buy. The average 12-month price target across the group is $13.00.

Rosenblatt Securities recently trimmed its target from $15.00 to $12.00 but kept a buy rating. Zacks Research dropped Webull from strong-buy to hold back in February. Wall Street Zen moved to a sell over the weekend.

On the institutional side, several funds added new positions in recent quarters. Jones Financial Companies raised its stake by 860.7% in Q3. Legal & General Group, Osaic Holdings, and Tower Research Capital also opened new positions.

The stock’s 50-day moving average is $7.05 and the 200-day sits at $9.81 — both well above the current price of $5.48.
