Original source text Interactive Brokers (IBKR -0.05%) keeps setting records in the financial asset trading space. The online brokerage catering to global traders posted a pre-tax profit margin of 77% in its latest quarterly earnings, marking seven straight quarters with a bottom-line margin above 70%. This makes it one of the most profitable companies in the world in relation to profit margins, which is why it now has a market cap of $155 billion. Here's the magic behind these absurd margins, and whether it makes the stock a buy right now. Today's Change ( -0.05 %) $ -0.05 Current Price $ 91.71 Automated brokerage for global traders Stock trading is now almost entirely digital worldwide. For Interactive Brokers -- otherwise known as IBKR -- this has been a tailwind, as it is one of the best platforms for connecting global traders. Through decades of technology and regulatory investments, IBKR can connect investors who want to buy stocks, bonds, and foreign currencies in 170 markets worldwide. When an individual or a hedge fund in the United States wants to buy stocks in Japan, the easiest way is to use IBKR. The same can be said for someone in Japan who wants to invest directly in the United States. This better customer value proposition has people switching over their trading to IBKR, with customer accounts up 34% to 5.19 million at the end of last quarter. With only 3,000 employees globally, compared to sometimes 10 times that number at competing stock brokerages, IBKR has remained highly efficient in spending to scale profits quickly across its digital trading platform. This is why the business has enjoyed extreme operating leverage in recent years, hitting 77% last quarter. A ceiling of 100% limits how much more leverage IBKR can achieve in its operations, but its discipline on employee count should lead to even greater margin expansion in the years ahead if it can keep growing total customer accounts. Image source: Getty Images. The rub on IBKR's margin, and whether it is a buy today One area where IBKR has seen a boost to its business in the last few years is net interest income. With the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, the company was able to charge customers more on margin loans and credit balances, as well as with idle cash on its balance sheet. Net interest income grew 23% to $1 billion last quarter, and is actually the largest revenue segment for the business. This may reverse in a falling interest rate environment, which will affect IBKR's growth and pre-tax profit margin. However, it doesn't change the fact that IBKR is one of the most efficiently run growth businesses in the world. But is the stock cheap? Today, IBKR trades at a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 36, one of its highest levels in years, driven by a recent acceleration in customer account growth. I think the stock will likely do well over the long term. It is just hard to argue that IBKR is a screaming buy right now, due to this high P/E ratio.

Original source text The PDT Rule Is On Its Way Out: 5 Stocks That Stand to Benefit the MostInteractive Brokers Group NASDAQ: IBKR reported another record-setting quarter in the second quarter of 2026, with executives citing stronger trading activity, account growth, higher client balances and continued product expansion across global markets. Nancy Stuebe, Director of Investor Relations at Interactive Brokers, said the company set records in commissions, net interest income and total net revenue, as well as total accounts, account additions, client equity and total client daily average revenue trades, or DARTs. She said the company’s pre-tax profit margin was 77%, marking the seventh consecutive quarter above 70%. Get IBKR alerts: MarketBeat Week in Review – 03/16 - 03/20Stuebe said the S&P 500 rose nearly 15% during the quarter, supported by strong technology earnings, while semiconductor names became a notable driver of client trading activity on the platform. “Our clients tend to embrace volatility and changing market dynamics as they provide opportunities in the market,” she said. Revenue, Margins and Balance Sheet Paul Brody, Chief Financial Officer of Interactive Brokers, said the company produced record net revenues and pre-tax income in the quarter. Commissions rose 30% from the prior-year quarter to a new record, supported by higher trading volumes across stocks, options and futures. Can Interactive Brokers Repeat Another Big Year?Net interest income increased 23% year over year to more than $1 billion, driven primarily by higher balances. Brody said margin borrowing increased as investors took on more risk, while the company’s segregated cash portfolio grew with new account additions. Those gains were partially offset by higher interest paid on customer cash balances. Other fees and services totaled $87 million, up 40%, which Brody attributed mainly to strong options volumes and higher risk exposure fees. Excluding certain non-core items, other income was $66 million for the quarter. Expenses also rose. Execution, clearing and distribution costs were $142 million, up 22% from the year-ago quarter. Brody said the increase was primarily due to the reinitiation of SEC regulatory fees, which totaled $34 million in the quarter. He said those fees are largely passed through and increase both commission revenue and execution costs, leaving profits unaffected. Compensation and benefits expense was $182 million, equal to 10% of adjusted net revenues, down from 11% a year earlier. General and administrative expenses were $68 million, with expanded advertising contributing to the increase. Interactive Brokers had 3,265 employees as of June 30. Total assets rose 36% year over year to $247 billion, driven by higher margin lending and segregated cash and securities balances. Brody said the company continues to have no long-term debt. Firm equity increased 20% to $22.3 billion. Client Growth and Trading Activity Interactive Brokers reported client equity of $930 billion, up 40% year over year. Client uninvested cash balances rose 27% to a record $182 billion, while new accounts grew 34%. Stuebe said strong interest continues from both institutional and individual investors globally in opening and funding accounts. Brody said total customer DARTs were 4.8 million trades per day, up 36% from the prior year. Options contract volumes rose 17%, futures contract volumes increased 2% and stock share volumes were up 14%. Brody said the average U.S. Fed funds rate was down 70 basis points from a year earlier, but margin loan interest rose 39% and segregated cash interest increased 7%, supported by balance growth. He estimated that a 25-basis-point increase in the Fed funds rate would raise annual net interest income by $81 million, while a 25-basis-point reduction would lower it by the same amount. For non-U.S. benchmark rates, a 25-basis-point move would affect annual net interest income by about $38 million. Product Expansion Includes Korea, Crypto and AI Stuebe said Interactive Brokers became the first e-broker to offer trading in Korea, providing access to the Korea Exchange and Nextrade, Korea’s 12-hour and overnight alternative trading system. She said Korean memory chip companies were highly sought after by clients. In Europe, the company directly offered the SpaceX IPO to eligible U.K. and European retail clients, according to Stuebe. It also began offering cryptocurrencies throughout Europe, after previously offering crypto in the U.K. since 2024. The company also released IBKR Connector in partnership with Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI. Stuebe said the integration allows clients to connect AI chatbots directly to their Interactive Brokers accounts to analyze portfolios, research opportunities and prepare orders for stocks, options and futures. She said the company is also expanding internal AI use in client service, compliance, surveillance and account onboarding. In the question-and-answer portion of the call, Milan Galik, President and CEO of Interactive Brokers, said clients can use AI chatbots to access account data and prepare trading instructions, but those instructions currently require client approval before becoming executable orders. Galik said the company expects to offer fully autonomous agentic trading in the future, but only with guardrails and some form of client testing. Prediction Markets, Introducing Brokers and Global Trends Interactive Brokers also launched IBKR Prediction Markets, a platform for trading event contracts across ForecastEx, CME and Kalshi. Stuebe said orders are routed to the venue offering the best net price, with a focus on economic, political and climate contracts. Galik said the company is not offering sports or entertainment contracts and is focused on events that may affect client portfolios. Asked about ForecastEx, Thomas Peterffy, Founder and Chairman of Interactive Brokers, said the company will continue to focus on weather-related contracts and is adding potential hurricane landfall contracts, which he said could relate to insurance risk. Stuebe said the introducing broker pipeline remains strong. Galik said the company had a double-digit number of integrations go live for the fourth or fifth consecutive quarter and has more integrations in progress than in the previous quarter. He said recent prospects include firms looking to expand into listed stocks, brokers seeking broader asset-class or regional coverage, and financial institutions moving to Interactive Brokers to reduce costs or access its product offering. Asked about account growth by region, Galik said the company is “growing everywhere globally” across regions and account types. He said the launch of Korean trading was well timed and generated strong activity from the start. Capital, Marketing and Risk In response to a question from Goldman Sachs analyst James Yaro, Galik said Interactive Brokers had about $10.3 billion in excess capital after buffers, up approximately $1.1 billion from the prior quarter. He said the company continues to review potential acquisitions, but “nothing so far stood out as worthy” of pursuing. Peterffy said increased marketing spending has produced a corresponding increase in results, but not a higher yield than before. He declined to promise a sustained account growth rate, noting that the company has previously exceeded 30% growth after earlier expectations centered on 20%. Asked about rapid growth in margin balances, Peterffy said Interactive Brokers continuously monitors client margin risk and is comfortable with current levels. Galik also addressed Chinese regulatory actions affecting Tiger Brokers and Futu. He said Interactive Brokers has long complied with mainland Chinese regulations, does not advertise in mainland China and requires accounts to demonstrate residence outside mainland China. Following regulatory actions involving Tiger and Futu, he said Interactive Brokers saw an uptick in broker transfers and assets moving from those platforms. On cryptocurrency perpetual futures, Galik said roughly one-third of Interactive Brokers’ crypto trading is now coming from those products, which allow clients to short cryptocurrencies and trade with leverage. He said the company will provide access to additional perpetual products where it sees meaningful volume and public interest.

Original source text Interactive Brokers (IBKR 1.82%) is one of a handful of large discount brokerages, competing with the likes of Charles Schwab (SCHW 1.21%) and Robinhood (HOOD 5.72%). Competition in the discount-broker space is typically pretty fierce. However, Interactive Brokers has been doing pretty well, if its June 2026 brokerage metrics are any indication. Here's what you need to know. Interactive Brokers' June numbers were great In June, Interactive Brokers had 5.185 million client accounts, up 34% from the same month of 2025. Its clients had equity of $930.3 billion in June, 40% higher than the year-ago period. In other words, the company's business has grown materially over the past 12 months. That's very good news, but not the end of the data the company provided. Image source: Getty Images. For example, Interactive Brokers handled 5.269 million trades in June, an increase of 53% over the prior year. Although the company only makes a few dollars per trade, the more trades it handles, the more commission revenue it generates. On top of that, the discount broker ended June with margin loan balances of $108.5 billion, a huge 67% increase from June 2015. Margin loans generate interest income for Interactive Brokers, so higher balances are also a very positive outcome. Interactive Brokers' second-quarter earnings could be very good If that was how the company ended June, it seems highly likely that its second-quarter 2026 earnings update will see a notable improvement over the prior year. That would actually be a follow-up to the financial company's strong first-quarter showing. Some numbers will help. Interactive Brokers' first-quarter 2026 revenues came in at $1.67 billion, up roughly 17% from $1.43 billion in the prior year. Adjusted earnings increased by roughly 28%, hitting $0.60 per share. The company's commission revenue increased 19%, and its interest income, largely from margin loans, increased 17%. Today's Change ( -1.82 %) $ -1.68 Current Price $ 90.53 The company's June numbers weren't materially higher than May's, suggesting the second quarter won't be materially different from the first. However, given the large year-over-year increase in account size, trading activity, and the total margin loan balance, second-quarter earnings seem likely to be much improved over the second quarter of 2025. There's one small problem with Interactive Brokers All of that said, investors need to take these numbers with a grain of "valuation salt." The stock's price-to-sales, price-to-earnings, and price-to-book value ratios are all around twice their five-year averages. In other words, Wall Street is well aware of how strongly Interactive Brokers' business is performing. If the company doesn't live up to what are likely to be lofty expectations, even a strong quarter on an absolute basis could still lead to a stock decline.

Original source text Key Takeaways IBKR is expected to post higher Q2 earnings and revenues when it reports results on July 21.Interactive Brokers saw June DARTs jump 53% y/y, with client accounts up 34% and client equity up 40%.IBKR's commission revenues and NII are projected to rise on strong trading and lending demand. Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (IBKR - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 21, after market close. Its earnings and revenues are expected to have improved year over year. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were primarily hurt by a rise in expenses. However, an increase in revenues, growth in customer accounts and a rise in daily average revenue trades (DARTs) acted as tailwinds. IBKR has a decent earnings surprise history. The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed in one, the average surprise being 11.7%. IBKR’s Earnings & Sales Projections for Q2The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Interactive Brokers’ earnings has been revised 3.4% higher to 61 cents per share in the past seven days. The estimate indicates a 19.6% rise from the year-ago quarter’s reported number. The consensus estimate for sales is pegged at $1.66 billion, suggesting a year-over-year increase of 12.2%. Interactive Brokers’ Other Key Q2 EstimatesClient trading activity remained robust in the second quarter as investors actively repositioned portfolios amid shifting expectations surrounding artificial intelligence, persistent inflation, geopolitical uncertainties and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Heightened volatility encouraged trading across equities, options, fixed income, foreign exchange and commodities. IBKR’s monthly brokerage metrics point to continued momentum, with DARTs rising sharply year over year throughout the quarter, while client accounts and customer equity also expanded at a healthy pace. June alone recorded 5.27 million DARTs, up 53% year over year, alongside a 34% increase in client accounts and 40% growth in client equity. Thus, strong trading volumes across stocks, options and futures, combined with continued customer acquisition, are expected to have driven higher commission income for IBKR. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for commission revenues stands at $605 million, implying 17.2% year-over-year growth. The company’s net interest income (NII) is also expected to have been a major growth driver in the quarter. Customer margin loan balances continued to expand during the quarter, reflecting healthy demand for leverage amid strong equity markets, while customer credit balances remained elevated as IBKR attracted new assets. The Federal Reserve kept benchmark interest rates unchanged in the quarter but maintained a hawkish stance by signaling another potential rate increase later this year, allowing interest yields on margin loans and client cash balances to remain favorable. A solid lending scenario, along with stabilizing funding and deposit costs, is expected to have positively impacted IBKR’s NII in the quarter. The consensus estimate for NII is $956 million, indicating an 11.2% increase from the prior-year quarter. Revenue from other fees and services is also expected to have improved, supported by a larger client base, higher market data subscription fees, increased exchange-related payments and greater demand for ancillary brokerage services as trading activity remained elevated. The consensus estimate for this line item is $74 million, suggesting a 19.4% year-over-year increase. On the expense side, operating costs are expected to have increased as IBKR continues investing in technology infrastructure, platform enhancements, artificial intelligence capabilities, product innovation, cybersecurity, customer support and regulatory compliance. What Our Model Unveils for IBKRAccording to our quantitative model, the chances of Interactive Brokers beating earnings estimates this time are high. This is because it has the right combination of the two key ingredients — a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter. Earnings ESP: Interactive Brokers has an Earnings ESP of +3.28%. Zacks Rank: The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Other Finance Stocks Worth a LookHere are a couple of other finance stocks that you may want to consider, as these too have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat in their upcoming releases: Zions Bancorporation (ZION - Free Report) is scheduled to announce second-quarter 2026 results on July 20. The company carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present and has an Earnings ESP of +0.53%. Quarterly earnings estimates for Zions have been unchanged at $1.57 per share over the past week. The Earnings ESP for Prosperity Bancshares (PB - Free Report) is +1.76%, and it carries a Zacks Rank #3 at present. The company is slated to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 29. Over the past seven days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for PB’s quarterly earnings has been unchanged at $1.54 per share.

Original source text The stock of Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR +7.16%) was a mid-week standout in the financial services sector. Shares of the securities trading facilitator closed on Wednesday more than 7% higher, thanks to a monthly update showing strong growth in certain aspects of its operations. Fruitful interactions For June, Interactive's daily average revenue trades (DARTs, widely considered a crucial metric for brokerages) rose by 53% year over year and 6% month over month to nearly 5.27 million. Image source: Getty Images. Client equity at the end of that month came in at just over $930 billion, a 40% improvement over the end-June 2025 figure but 1% below the May result. Speaking of clients, Interactive's total customer accounts surged 34% year over year and 4% month over month to nearly 5.19 million. Ending client credit balances rose a respective 27% and 1% to land at over $182 billion. Today's Change ( 7.16 %) $ 6.23 Current Price $ 93.27 A reliable middleman The fact that only one of those metrics in one of the tracked periods sank -- and slightly -- indicates how well Interactive is doing these days. To be fair, most of our securities markets remain frothy, so that's not a towering accomplishment in itself. However, investors have a wide and deep range of brokerages and financial services companies to choose from. So this one is obviously adept at both attracting and retaining active clients, and with that, I'd confidently consider its stock worthy of a buy.

Original source text Last week, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh held his first Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, making statements strongly suggesting a "higher for longer" interest rate policy, including possible rate hikes down the road. For stock market investors, this could be concerning. Stocks, particularly speculative growth stocks, often trade inversely with interest rates. As rates go up, valuations could come down. Yet while Warsh's policy plans could create new headwinds for the broad market, these changes could be a potential boon for one major financial institution: Interactive Brokers (IBKR 2.06%). Why? The discount broker, a pioneer in electronic trading, generates a majority of its overall revenue from interest. Hence, like with financial stocks and bank stocks, "higher for longer" bodes well for Interactive Brokers. Image source: Getty Images. Interactive Brokers and its not-so-secret revenue stream Like most brokerages, net interest income (NII) is a key revenue stream for Interactive Brokers. There are two ways brokerages generate NII. First, they collect interest on customer "float," or uninvested cash. They also earn interest income on margin loans made to customers. For a major institution like Interactive Brokers, interest income can add up quickly. Each month, the company releases brokerage metrics and other financial information. According to the latest report, as of May 31, 2026, the company had client credit balances, or customer cash balances, totaling $180.1 billion, a 34% increase over the past year. Client margin loan balances totaled $100.9 billion, a 65% increase over the past year. During the first quarter of 2026, NII totaled $904 million, making up around 54% of the company's total net revenue. With the company reporting pretax profits of around $1.3 billion, or 77% pretax margins, the lion's share of this NII flows straight to the bottom line. Interactive Brokers also continues to benefit from customer growth. Last month, for instance, the company had nearly 5 million client accounts, a 32% increase compared to May 2025, and a 3% increase compared to the prior month. Today's Change ( -2.06 %) $ -1.90 Current Price $ 90.26 Interactive Brokers is a compounding machine Considering customer and NII growth, it's easy to see how this company has been a compounding machine in recent years. Since 2022, the company's revenue has surged from $4.2 billion to $10.6 billion, while earnings per share went from $0.94 to $2.34. The company's quarterly cash dividend has grown significantly during this time, from 2.5 cents to 8.8 cents per quarter, a more than 250% increase. Currently, sell-side analysts forecast revenue growth of around 14.5% and 12.5%, respectively, with earnings expected to climb from $2.19 per share in 2025 to $2.51 per share in 2026 and to $2.88 per share by 2027, representing average annual growth of 14.7%. Such earnings growth could translate into further strong dividend growth, especially as Interactive Brokers' payout ratio remains low, at around 13.7%. Shares may be pricey at nearly 40 times forward earnings, but if high growth persists, they may experience, at worst, moderate multiple compression. Continued double-digit earnings growth could counter a drop in forward valuation to the low- to mid-30s. This, coupled with the 0.37% dividend, could yield steady, solid total returns. With this, consider Interactive Brokers one of the best growth stocks to buy and hold.

Original source text Key Takeaways IBKR added ChatGPT and Grok, extending AI-assisted trading to options and futures.IBKR clients can link accounts to ChatGPT, Grok or Claude without passwords or API keys.IBKR requires review and approval of every AI instruction before orders reach markets. Interactive Brokers (IBKR - Free Report) is further accelerating its push into artificial intelligence (AI) by adding ChatGPT and Grok to its expanding suite of AI-enabled investing solutions. The enhancement will expand AI-assisted trading beyond stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to include options, futures and futures options, enabling investors to interact with a broader range of markets through conversational prompts. The launch builds on IBKR's earlier integration with Anthropic's Claude and highlights the broker's efforts to simplify market analysis and trading workflows without compromising investor oversight. Now, existing customers can connect their IBKR accounts to ChatGPT, Grok or Claude within minutes at no additional cost, using their standard IBKR credentials and without sharing passwords or API keys with third-party providers. As interest in AI-powered investing gains momentum, IBKR is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift. Users can leverage AI assistants to assess portfolio exposures, explore hedging strategies, track technical indicators such as the relative strength index, benchmark performance against major ETFs and create futures order instructions. However, execution remains firmly in investors’ hands, as every AI-generated instruction must be reviewed and approved through a dedicated AI Instructions tab before reaching the market. How IBKR Builds on AI & Platform InvestmentsThe latest AI integrations complement an expanding suite of tools already available across Interactive Brokers' platforms. AI Screeners allow investors to search more than 70,000 global stocks using conversational prompts, while Investment Themes help users explore opportunities tied to trends, such as clean energy and cloud computing. IBKR also introduced Connections, which maps relationships among companies, ETFs, derivatives and thematic datasets from a single interface.

IBKR’s Competitive LandscapeInteractive Brokers is not alone in embedding AI into investing workflows. Several brokerages and investment platforms have accelerated their AI initiatives over the past year, though their approaches differ. Among retail brokers, Robinhood Markets, Inc. (HOOD - Free Report) launched AI-enabled trading accounts that allow users to connect AI agents, including Claude and ChatGPT-based tools, to analyze portfolios and execute stock trades within predefined limits. Robinhood is also extending AI capabilities to credit-card purchases through agent-driven workflows. Charles Schwab (SCHW - Free Report) incorporated an AI assistant into its platform, with a focus on helping investors navigate research, educational content and trading tools. Rather than emphasizing autonomous trading, Schwab's approach centers on improving investor support and platform usability.
