Wealthfront (WLTH) files for proposed Nasdaq IPO

Wealthfront (WLTH) has filed for a proposed Nasdaq IPO.

The company describes itself as: "We’re a different kind of FinTech. We are a technology company that built a financial solutions platform for “digital natives,” defined as those born after 1980 (i.e., Millennials, Gen Z, and later generations). Our platform is designed to address the needs of the wealth builders within these generations. We have differentiated, trusted relationships with our clients due to our unique and fundamentally aligned incentives. Simply put, we succeed because our clients succeed.
We were among the first digital-only financial solutions platforms,1 and we pioneered using automation to offer low-cost diversified portfolios. We built our platform using software to deliver our solutions quickly, conveniently, and at low cost. These principles align with the preferences of digital natives, who use digital platforms for the vast majority of their everyday services ranging from entertainment and commerce to food delivery and ride sharing. Our technology-driven financial solutions help clients turn savings into long-term wealth. Our broad suite of products, including cash management, investment advisory, borrowing and lending, and financial planning solutions, address the diverse financial needs of our clients regardless of the economic environment."

The company's financials: "Our platform assets increased from $57.6 billion as of January 31, 2024 to $80.2 billion as of January 31, 2025, representing 39% year-over-year growth, and from $71.4 billion as of July 31, 2024 to $88.2 billion as of July 31, 2025, representing 24% year-over-year growth. We generated total revenue of $216.7 million in fiscal 2024 and $308.9 million in fiscal 2025, representing year-over-year growth of 43%, and $145.9 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and $175.6 million for the six months ended July 31, 2025, representing 20% year-over-year growth. We generated net income of $77.0 million in fiscal 2024 and $194.4 million in fiscal 2025, representing a net income margin of 36% and 63%, respectively, and net income of $132.3 million for the six months ended July 31, 2024 and $60.7 million for the six months ended July 31, 2025, representing a net income margin of 91% and 35%, respectively. Net income for fiscal 2025 included a total tax benefit for the year of $55.2 million due to the one-time deferred tax benefit of $80.2 million, resulting primarily from the release of the full valuation allowance on our historical net deferred tax assets."

Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan will serve as lead underwriters.
