In January, Rosenblatt cut the firm's price target on Bullish to $52 from $55 and maintained a ‘Buy’ rating, according to TheFly. Analyst Chris Brendler said the recent weakness in the shares could be attributed to the impending expiry of the initial public offering lock-up rather than fundamentals.
According to Brendler, Bullish's December trading volumes came in below consensus expectations, but estimates "were likely stale" given publicly available daily volume data. The firm said it believes the company "greatly outperformed" peers as its institutional-only business model insulates it from retail volatility.
