Webull Shares Slide on 1Q Loss, Soaring Costs

Dow Jones05-23

By Dean Seal

Investors extended a bearish run for Webull shares after the company posted a loss for the first quarter and reported that costs outgrew its revenue.

The stock fell 7% to $6.15 on Friday. Shares are now down 21% since the start of the year.

The operator of the Webull online investment platform said after Thursday's market close that it swung to a loss of $21.7 million for the first three months of the year from a profit of $13.1 million a year earlier.

Stripping out one-time items including share-based compensation, adjusted earnings were 3 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had been looking for 4 cents a share.

Revenue climbed 36% from a year earlier to $159.9 million, beating analyst forecasts for $157.4 million. Operating costs meanwhile grew 68% to $162.3 million.
