Webull Posts $165.2M Q4 Revenue Gain, Aims B2B to Match Retail
Webull posted Q4 revenue of $165.2M (+53%), customer assets of $24.6B (+81%) and net deposits of $3.9B (+225%) while reporting EPS of $0.01 versus a $0.05 estimate. CEO Denier forecasts B2B institutional revenue to match or exceed retail as Meritz partnership trades over $1B and aims tenfold expansion.
1. Q4 Financial Results
Webull delivered Q4 revenue of $165.2 million, a 53% year-over-year increase, driving full-year 2025 revenue to $571 million (up 46%). Customer assets rose 81% to $24.6 billion and net deposits surged 225% to $3.9 billion, while EPS came in at $0.01 against a $0.05 estimate due to higher marketing spend ($53.25 million) that nonetheless fell to roughly 23–24% of revenue.
2. B2B Pivot Strategy
CEO Anthony Denier emphasized a strategic shift toward B2B services, expecting institutional revenue to match or exceed the retail segment in coming years. The Meritz Financial Group partnership in Korea has already traded over $1 billion notional and targets tenfold volume growth by year-end, leveraging stickier economics from longer onboarding cycles.
3. AI and Product Developments
Webull’s Vega AI platform now engages 1.2 million weekly users, with one in eight consulting Vega before executing trades, strengthening platform lock-in. Prediction markets saw 162 million contracts in Q4 but are being repositioned as a customer engagement tool rather than a core revenue driver.
4. Outlook and Market Reaction
Denier reported that January was the company’s second-best month ever, indicating a strong Q1 start, and noted that market volatility benefits options trading, which carries higher margins. Despite these developments, shares remain down roughly 30% year-to-date as analysts trim targets but maintain positive ratings.
