Where WLTH is headed
Wealthfront in 2028 looks nothing like the robo-advisor narrative the market keeps pricing it as. The Automated Investing line, the original pitch, is now the smaller half of the business. The bigger half is the Cash Account, a sweep program paying brokered rates across a network of partner banks, with around $40B in deposits earning Wealthfront a spread that scales linearly with the Fed Funds rate and the customer base. At 89% gross margins and 16% operating margins on a 7% top line, this is already a profitable software business wearing a fintech costume. The market is valuing it at 10.6x forward earnings because it cannot decide what bucket to put it in.
