Webull Corp. shares fell 19.09% to $5.89 on Wednesday, marking the steepest one-day decline in more than a year. The sell-off was triggered by a report from a bipartisan House committee that flagged structural ties and data-flow risks associated with the company’s Chinese ownership as national security concerns.
What Happened
The congressional panel accused the brokerage of exposing U.S. customer data to China, prompting a sharp drop in the stock price. In response, a Webull spokesperson stated that the committee’s report contains significant inaccuracies. The company noted that it conducts its U.S. business from its global headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, and its New York City office, and that U.S. customer data is protected. Webull expressed disappointment that the report was published without seeking clarification, noting that the company made efforts to cooperate with the select committee but did not hear from them for over 20 months before the report was released.
What The Data Shows
Fundamentals show a market cap of $4.0 billion and a P/E ratio of 91.9, with trailing twelve-month revenue up 47.1% and a net margin of 6.3%. The stock’s beta is 0.64, and its 52-week range spans $4.50 to $14.51. Over the last eight sessions, the stock has moved down 16.5% from $7.05 to $5.89. On October 7, 2026, the stock printed two fresh 52-week highs and two fresh 52-week lows. Unusual options activity in the last 36 hours included 18 notable prints, with call premium at $1.7 million versus put premium at $470,000, and a biggest single print of $364,000. Recent insider filings show zero buys and six sells totaling $2.8 million over the last 90 days, with the most recent sale by President Anthony Michael Denier on October 5, 2026.
What To Watch
Investors should monitor the company’s response to the congressional findings and any potential regulatory actions. The stock’s recent volatility and the ongoing debate over data security will likely remain key factors in near-term trading.
