Progress in crypto, prediction markets, and international initiatives positions the company well for 2026 and supports above-consensus growth expectations, the firm said in a research note.
Meanwhile, Northland said that Webull reported "nice growth and higher marketing spend" in Q4, however citing lower peer multiples for the firm's lowered target, as per TheFly.
