At a share price of $13.66, WisdomTree has seen short term momentum build, with a 1 month share price return of 18.89% and year to date share price return of 9.19%. Its 1 year total shareholder return of 41.36% and 5 year total shareholder return of 181.43% point to longer term compounding alongside recent enthusiasm around its growth profile and ETF franchise.
If WisdomTree’s recent run has you thinking about other opportunities, this could be a moment to widen your search with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With the shares at $13.66 and analyst targets implying some upside, plus strong recent returns already on the board, the key question now is whether WisdomTree still offers a mispriced opportunity or if the market is already factoring in that growth.
The most followed narrative currently points to a fair value of about $14.79 per share versus the last close at $13.66, framing WisdomTree as modestly mispriced while hinging that view on specific growth and margin assumptions.
The continued global shift from active to passive investing remains a powerful driver for WisdomTree's core ETF business, as evidenced by broad-based net inflows, growing international scale, and record AUM, which should translate to higher revenue and improved operating leverage.
Curious what kind of revenue climb and margin reset are baked into that tag of value, and how the future P/E is expected to compress from here? The most followed narrative ties those expectations into a detailed path for earnings and profitability that might surprise you.
Result: Fair Value of $14.79 (UNDERVALUED)

However, there is still the chance that fee compression across ETFs or slower traction in digital and tokenized products could keep margins and earnings below what this narrative assumes.
