Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Webull Corporation ( (BULL) ) just unveiled an update.

On May 21, 2026, Webull Corporation reported first-quarter 2026 results showing 36% year-over-year revenue growth to $159.9 million and its sixth consecutive quarter of adjusted profitability, even as higher marketing, brokerage and share-based compensation costs drove a $21.7 million net loss. Customer assets surged 90% to $24 billion, supported by 91% net deposit growth, while trading activity jumped with equity notional volume up 104% and daily average revenue trades up 42% year over year.

The company highlighted rapid international expansion, having secured permission to operate across the European Economic Area and launched its app in Germany, while FINRA’s April approval for self and correspondent clearing positions Webull for long-term cost savings and new institutional clearing revenue. Webull is also investing heavily in AI, rolling out its Vega Analyst research tool and Model Context Protocol infrastructure, and has built pattern day trading capabilities ahead of a June 4, 2026 rule change, underscoring a strategy to deepen engagement with active traders and institutional and B2B clients despite near-term margin pressure.

The most recent analyst rating on (BULL) stock is a Buy with a $12.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Webull Corporation stock, see the BULL Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on BULL Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BULL is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (notably the 2025 profitability turnaround and cash-flow surge) and a constructive earnings outlook with measurable growth and margin-expansion goals. Offsetting factors are a still-mixed technical setup (negative MACD and longer-term downtrend signals) and a stretched valuation with a very high P/E and no dividend support.
