Webull (BULL) is trading 6.5% up at $8.44 on August 19, 2026, as investors position ahead of its Q2 earnings release after market close. The stock's rally is largely attributed to: * Optimism surrounding the recent elimination of the Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule and lowered account minimums, which are seen to significantly benefit Webull's user base. * Analyst expectations for Q2 revenue around $182.83 million and EPS of $0.03 (though some estimates vary). * The move exceeds broader equity-market gains; Q2 results were not available before the 11:57 a.m. EST snapshot.
