Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.

Why now
Capital Markets · market cap $6.0b. Trading near 52-week high of $68.68 — momentum setup, limited technical margin of safety. Revenue growing +26% — in hypergrowth territory. 7 sell-side analysts publish a mean 1-yr target of $66.71 (implying -2% upside).
Moat
Net margin 17% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 54% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. Financial moat — scale of deposit base / underwriting franchise plus regulatory capital advantages. The largest players compound book value through cycles that erase smaller competitors.
Risk
D/E 4.15 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Trading within 1% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. Balance-sheet financial — book value, net interest margin, and credit loss provisions are the lever points; a rates regime change or a deterioration in the loan book moves the stock more than EPS does.
Horizon
1-3 yr $66.71 (7-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $97.68 at ~8% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $144.90 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Analyst estimate revisions

30-day change+7.3%
90-day change+18.3%
Forward EPS estimate$6.93

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect VIRT to earn is materially higher (+18.3%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

Virtu Financial, Inc. (VIRT): score, valuation & FAQ

Virtu Financial, Inc. (VIRT) is a Capital Markets company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are ROE (A), Rev (A-) and P/E (B+).

Is VIRT a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings grades VIRT on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by ROE (A), Rev (A-) and P/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Virtu Financial, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

How does Bull Rankings grade VIRT?

As a bank, insurer or REIT, VIRT isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on ROE (A), Rev (A-) and P/E (B+).

Is VIRT overvalued or undervalued?

We don't compute a reliable discounted-cash-flow value for VIRT — typically because it is not yet consistently profitable or free-cash-flow positive — so its valuation rests on growth and price-to-sales rather than on earnings-based intrinsic value. Judge it on the trajectory of the business, not a single multiple.

What are the main risks of investing in VIRT?

D/E 4.15 is elevated — limits strategic flexibility and raises refinancing exposure if rates stay higher for longer. Trading within 1% of the 52-week high — limited technical margin of safety; a momentum reversal would test conviction. Balance-sheet financial — book value, net interest margin, and credit loss provisions are the lever points; a rates regime change or a deterioration in the loan book moves the stock more than EPS does.
