The online stockbroker's shares surged following a backdoor listing, but its China ties and growing economic uncertainty could be major risks
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Webull shares soared 375% on the second trading day after completion of its listing through a SPAC merger, valuing the company at $30 billion</li>
<li>The company gets most of its revenue from the U.S. but harkens from China, where more than half of its employees are still based</li>
</ul>
Talk about charging out of the gate.
Newly listed shares of&nbsp;Webull Corp.&nbsp;(BULL.US) had an eye-popping initial surge in their trading debut following its backdoor New York listing last week using a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). But the company's China ties, which have attracted attention from multiple U.S. government bodies over the last year, not to mention its more fundamental struggles to boost revenue and defend its profitability, may yet come back to gore Webull.
The online stockbroker, whose mobile app caters to U.S. retail investors, similar to&nbsp;Robinhood Markets&nbsp;(HOOD.US), debuted on the New York Stock Exchange on April 11 through a merger with SK Growth Opportunities Corp. Its shares soared 375% the next trading day to value it at nearly $30 billion. But that charge was short-lived and the stock has given back most of those gains on falling trading volume. The shares are still more than double their debut level, though they're likely to come under more pressure due to their lofty valuation multiples.
Its dramatic first few trading days aside, one technical detail about WeBull's backdoor listing may leave those not familiar with its story scratching their heads. It sought approval for its SPAC listing from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), which&nbsp;<a href="http://www.csrc.gov.cn/csrc/c105984/c7549872/content.shtml">gave its nod</a>&nbsp;on April 8, apparently paving the way for completion of the deal and the New York trading debut.
This mandatory regulatory step for all Chinese companies listing overseas looks unnecessary for Webull, since technically it isn't a Chinese company. It's based in Florida, and gets most of its revenue from the U.S. The public face of Webull is a non-Chinese executive — President and U.S. CEO Anthony Denier, whose LinkedIn profile shows his previous background was mostly at financial firms in Europe.
But the company does have Chinese ties as its origin traces back to Hunan Fumi Information Technology, a provider of free market information, founded by Alibaba alum Wang Anquan in China in 2016.
Webull set up its brokerage business the following year under an entity created in Delaware, marking the beginning of its current form as a U.S.-centered business. The company's website lists offices in a wide range of countries and regions besides the U.S., including Britain, South Africa, as well as Asian locations like Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and Indonesia, hinting at its future ambitions. China is not among those.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Despite all this, Webull says it voluntarily sought CSRC approval, noting that the Chinese regulator's rules are subject to interpretation, according to a prospectus filed by SK Growth last month. SK Growth and Webull signed their original merger deal in February last year, saying at that time they expected to wrap up the transaction in the second half of 2024.
Webull's decision to seek the CSRC's blessing may have contributed to the delay, which isn't unusual for this type of regulatory process. But it does highlight the company's Chinese roots. While the company can downplay that part of its history on paper, the reality is that more than 60% of its employees are still on the payroll of its China-based subsidiary.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">China ties</h4>
Webull's China ties have also raised eyebrows of U.S. authorities due to concerns about data security, a highly sensitive area for both Beijing and Washington. In April last year, Indiana's attorney general opened a multi-state inquiry into Webull's management of U.S. customer data. Two months later, Tennessee banned the company's app on all government-issued devices. And last December, the U.S. House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party sent a letter to Denier raising concerns about his company's "deep ties" to China.
Webull has said all of its U.S. customer information is stored locally. And Denier reiterated that in an interview with CNBC last Thursday, emphasizing that Webull has been regulated by U.S. authorities since day one as a stockbroker.
"I'm very confident that all these inquiries will eventually be mitigated," he said. "I know that we run a very good business for our clients and our customers, and our clients' information is safe."&nbsp;
Webull's business took off during the pandemic as interest in stock trading surged among home-bound people with lots of idle time on their hands and stimulus checks to spend. Its app has been downloaded more than 50 million times to date, with more than 23 million users globally, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1866364/000121390025020294/ea0201669-22.htm">the prospectus</a>.
Like Robinhood, Webull doesn't charge commissions for trading U.S. stocks. Instead, it generates revenue by routing its trades to specific market makers that pay for that service. It also earns fees from customers for more advanced functions like margin trading and short selling.&nbsp;
Like most stockbrokers, Webull's ability to expand its top-line revenue is directly tied to economic and market conditions, which can be a more immediate concern for the company than its China connection as U.S. President Donald Trump's policies cast a large shadow over the global economy. The company's revenue actually shrank in the first nine months of last year from the same period of 2023, while its operating expenses increased. As a result, it made a net loss in the first nine months of 2024, a setback from its net profit a year earlier.
All things considered, Webull looks like an unusual, and possibly risky, partner for SK Growth, which appears to be tied to South Korean conglomerate SK Group. The company doesn't quite align with the SPAC's original intention to target a business focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles. SK Growth says it believes Webull's services "democratize" financial investment, and thus it advances ESG values. But that sounds like a stretch. A more plausible explanation may be that the blank-check company, which went public in 2022, was running out of time to find a merger partner within the standard two-year window, and did the best it could as time was ticking down.
Webull shares trade at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of more than 30, which looks highly inflated compared to 12 for Robinhood, especially given the company's China risks and underwhelming financials. Such a bullish valuation for Webull shares in their early days hints at more potential downside as they come under pressure to return to more realistic levels, probably sooner rather than later.&nbsp;

Zero-emission buses give students a cleaner and quieter transportation experience
DEARBORN, Mich., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --&nbsp;Dearborn Public Schools, Michigan's third-largest school district, is enhancing its student transportation with the addition of 18 state-of-the-art electric school buses. This initiative reflects the district's commitment to providing a healthier environment for its students and the surrounding community.
Dearborn partnered with&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4411313-1&amp;h=3086976544&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fhighlandfleets.com%2F&amp;a=Highland+Electric+Fleets">Highland Electric Fleets</a>, a leader in Electrification-as-a-Service (EaaS) for school bus fleets in North America, to modernize its fleet. As part of the project, Highland installed 20 BorgWarner charging stations, enabling overnight and downtime charging to keep the buses ready for daily routes.&nbsp;
The 18 <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4411313-1&amp;h=1617621074&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blue-bird.com%2F&amp;a=Blue+Bird">Blue Bird</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4411313-1&amp;h=258718314&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blue-bird.com%2Fall-american-electric%2F&amp;a=All+American+Type+D+electric-powered+buses">All American Type D electric-powered buses</a> generate no emissions. They can travel up to 120 miles on a single charge and can be fully charged in 6-8 hours overnight. Additionally, these buses run much quieter than their diesel counterparts, offering a calmer ride for students and reducing noise pollution in the surrounding neighborhoods. Blue Bird has more than 2,500 electric-powered, zero-emission school buses in operation today.

In an attempt to counteract the dwindling U.S. birthrate, the Trump administration is reportedly considering a variety of proposals designed to incentivize marriage and childbearing among Americans.
What Happened:&nbsp;The White House has been exploring a myriad of ideas to foster marriage and childbirth. These ideas have been largely influenced by a cultural agenda advocated by numerous right-wing allies. One such proposal is a $5,000 &#8220;baby bonus&#8221; for every American mother post childbirth, as per a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/us/politics/trump-birthrate-proposals.html">report </a>from the New York Times. 
Other measures include government-funded programs aimed at educating women about their menstrual cycles to improve their comprehension of ovulation and conception. The White House is also mulling a 30% of scholarships from the esteemed Fulbright program to applicants who are either married or have children.
When asked about his take on offering bonuses to mothers each time they give birth, President Donald Trump told reporters, "Sounds like a good idea to me," reported The Hill.

Why It Matters: The U.S. has been grappling with a long-term fertility decline that began during the Great Recession. According to CDC, births in the U.S. saw a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44945092/us-births-rose-1-in-2024-cdc-finds-driven-by-hispanic-asian-women">minor increase</a> of 1% in 2024, largely driven by Hispanic and Asian women. However, this slight rise is not considered a definitive sign of a reversal in the fertility decline.
Furthermore, Elon Musk, father of 14 children, has previously voiced his concerns about falling birth rates in Western countries. In March, Musk warned that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44550912/elon-musk-reveals-the-one-thought-that-keeps-him-awake-at-night">low birth rates</a> could lead to the disappearance of civilization. He stated, "the birth rate is very low in almost every country. And unless that changes, civilization will disappear."
Concerns over the declining U.S. birthrate are gaining attention, with support from figures like Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk. While the White House hasn't revealed specific plans, advocates are hopeful that fertility issues will be prioritized. Discussions hint that President Trump is quietly crafting a bold family policy strategy.
On NewsNation&#8217;s podcast CUOMO, Rina Shah, a conservative strategist and commentator, stated that she considers the intention behind the &#8220;baby bonus&#8221; positive. However, she noted that a one-time $5,000 bonus is unlikely to influence families, as child care, housing, and education costs far exceed the incentive.
