Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.

While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.

Below, we take a look at Marex Group PLC (MRX - Free Report) , which currently has a Momentum Style Score of B. We also discuss some of the main drivers of the Momentum Style Score, like price change and earnings estimate revisions.

It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Marex Group PLC currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.

Set to Beat the Market? In order to see if MRX is a promising momentum pick, let's examine some Momentum Style elements to see if this company holds up.

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It is also useful to compare a security to its industry, as this can help investors pinpoint the top companies in a particular area.

For MRX, shares are up 7.45% over the past week while the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry is up 0.44% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 29.26% compares favorably with the industry's 2.09% performance as well.

While any stock can see a spike in price, it takes a real winner to consistently outperform the market. Over the past quarter, shares of Marex Group PLC have risen 25.23%, and are up 122.42% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 4.72% and 20.24%, respectively.

Investors should also take note of MRX's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. Right now MRX is averaging 731,295 shares for the last 20 days..

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with MRX.

Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost MRX's consensus estimate, increasing from $5.35 to $5.84 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 3 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineGiven these factors, it shouldn't be surprising that MRX is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock and boasts a Momentum Score of B. If you're looking for a fresh pick that's set to soar in the near-term, make sure to keep Marex Group PLC on your short list.

Set to Beat the Market?Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for MRX that show why this company shows promise as a solid momentum pick.

Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.

For MRX, shares are up 16.86% over the past week while the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry is flat over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 14.1% compares favorably with the industry's 0.7% performance as well.

While any stock can see its price increase, it takes a real winner to consistently beat the market. That is why looking at longer term price metrics -- such as performance over the past three months or year -- can be useful as well. Over the past quarter, shares of Marex Group PLC have risen 34.31%, and are up 105.49% in the last year. In comparison, the S&P 500 has only moved 4.83% and 21.31%, respectively.

Investors should also pay attention to MRX's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. MRX is currently averaging 692,568 shares for the last 20 days.

Earnings OutlookThe Zacks Momentum Style Score also takes into account trends in estimate revisions, in addition to price changes. Please note that estimate revision trends remain at the core of Zacks Rank as well. A nice path here can help show promise, and we have recently been seeing that with MRX.

Over the past two months, 3 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost MRX's consensus estimate, increasing from $5.35 to $5.84 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 3 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.

Bottom LineTaking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that MRX is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of B. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Marex Group PLC on your short list.

Marex Group delivered record H1 2026 revenue and profitability, with adjusted profit before tax of $318.6 million, driving an 18% stock surge on August 12. MRX's rapid acquisition strategy fueled significant YoY segment revenue growth, notably 134% in Market Making and 35% in Agency and Execution. Operational efficiency improved: adjusted profit margin rose 200 bps to 23%, and adjusted ROE reached 37.5%, nearly 700 bps higher YoY.

Financial services company Marex Group (MRX +18.69%) sure benefited the financials of its shareholders on Wednesday. Thanks to an estimates-crushing second quarter earnings report, its stock was popular, to the point where it closed that trading session up by almost 19%.

A blowout second quarter In the period, Marex's revenue ballooned by 39% year over year to almost $696 million. The financial company reported that all four of its business segments saw significant rises, led by agency and execution (up 35% to $351 million), and market making, which more than doubled to over $118 million.

On the bottom line, the company's net income not under international financial reporting standards (non-IFRS, or adjusted) raced 61% higher to $124 million, or $1.64 per share.

Analysts tracking Marex stock weren't expecting the company to perform at anywhere near that level. Collectively, they were estimating $589 million on the top line and $1.36 per share for adjusted net profit.

Marex has been an active and busy acquirer of complementary assets lately, a major reason for those boosts in fundamentals. This year alone, it has closed six acquisitions, while two are pending.

A good combination Given its high profit margin and those double-digit growth rates, it's clear that Marex is clever and strategic in the assets it chooses to buy. It's also operating amid robust activity across all aspects of its business, so as long as the good times roll, the company's stock should continue to roll with them.

Marex Group plc Ordinary Shares NASDAQ: MRX reported record second-quarter profit as revenue growth across its clearing, agency and execution, market-making and solutions businesses offset lower exchange volumes and declining market volatility from the first quarter.

Second-quarter revenue rose 39% year over year to $696 million, while adjusted profit before tax increased 56% to $166 million. Adjusted profit before tax margin expanded to 23.8%, and adjusted basic earnings per share rose 59% to $1.72. Reported profit after tax was $155 million, including $28 million of non-operating items.

Group CEO Ian Lowitt said the quarter marked Marex's sixth record-profit quarter since its April 2024 initial public offering. He said first-half adjusted profit before tax reached $319 million, equal to the company's total annual profit in 2024.

While volumes on Marex's key exchanges declined 17% from the first quarter, Lowitt said adjusted profit before tax still increased 9% sequentially. He attributed the performance to a more diversified business mix, expanding client relationships and growth in higher-margin, infrastructure-intensive operations.

Segment Performance Clearing revenue rose 16% year over year to $161 million. Average clearing client balances increased to $19.1 billion in the second quarter, compared with $16 billion in the first-quarter average and $14 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. Clearing net interest income increased 31% as higher balances more than offset lower interest rates.

Adjusted profit before tax in clearing increased 12%, with a 49% margin. Chief Financial Officer Rob Irvin said net commission income remained stable despite lower contracts cleared than in the year-earlier period, which had benefited from heightened activity following tariff announcements.

Agency and execution revenue increased 35% to $351 million. Securities revenue climbed 68% to $283 million, led by growth in prime services, foreign exchange and equities. Prime revenue reached a record $120 million, while FX benefited from an expanding European client base and continued growth at Hamilton Court.

Agency and execution adjusted profit before tax rose 69% to $117 million, with margins expanding to 33%.

Market-making revenue increased 106% year over year to $118 million, supported by metals and securities activity. Marex said metals benefited from client activity in precious and base metals amid developments in the Middle East, while securities continued to benefit from the integration of Winterflood. Adjusted profit before tax in market making was $45 million, and the segment's margin was 38%.

Solutions revenue increased 74%, reflecting growth in hedging solutions and financial products. Adjusted profit before tax nearly quadrupled to $25 million, with a 35% margin. Lowitt said the business has expanded its staffing, geographic reach, product offerings and technology capacity, including a re-platforming intended to support higher volumes and more straight-through processing.

Client Growth and Acquisitions Lowitt said Marex had 77 clients producing more than $5 million of annual revenue on a run-rate basis in 2026, compared with 49 in 2025 and 36 in 2024. Revenue from that client cohort rose 59% from 2025, while average revenue per client increased 34%.

Management said the increase was driven primarily by existing clients using more of the Marex platform across products and geographies. The larger-client group includes commodity producers and consumers, banks seeking market liquidity, asset managers, hedge funds and long-only investors, according to Lowitt.

About 80% of year-over-year profit growth in the second quarter was organic, Lowitt said. He added that acquisitions remain a core part of the company's strategy, but are intended to add capabilities, geographic reach and potential synergies rather than simply purchased earnings.

The company cited its 2025 acquisitions of Aarna, Hamilton Court and Winterflood as examples. Marex said the businesses generated approximately $16 million of profit after tax based on prior-year earnings at acquisition, compared with an annualized run rate of about $60 million of profit after tax in the second quarter.

Marex expects its acquisition of Bright Point to close in late 2026 or early 2027. The company said the transaction would expand its clearing presence in Asia, enhance access to China and add opportunities to internalize clearing activity, increase client balances and cross-sell products. Lowitt also highlighted Levmet and Webb Traders as additions intended to build market-making capabilities.

Capital, Liquidity and Market Infrastructure During the quarter, Marex issued $500 million of hybrid capital and $500 million of senior unsecured notes. Irvin said the proceeds strengthened the company's capital base, expanded balance-sheet capacity and extended its funding maturity profile. Both offerings were significantly oversubscribed, he said.

Total assets stood at $42.1 billion as of June 30, with approximately 80% directly driven by client activity. Marex ended the quarter with $8.1 billion of funding sources and $1.8 billion of liquidity headroom. Its risk-adjusted capital ratio was about 12%, above the 10% level that S&P defines as strongly capitalized, according to management.

Marex also discussed several market-structure initiatives. The company said it is the first firm to offer cross-margining between U.S. Treasury futures cleared on CME and cash U.S. Treasuries cleared through FICC. It is live with three clients and has more than 10 additional clients in its pipeline.

During the quarter, the company enabled clients to use USDC stablecoins as initial margin under a Commodity Futures Trading Commission pilot program and executed an on-chain repo transaction using tokenized U.S. Treasuries over the Canton Network. Marex also expects to begin clearing on prediction-market operator Kalshi in the third quarter.

Outlook Lowitt said July and early August trends were continuing at the operating levels seen during the first half. He said Marex remained comfortable with growth at the upper end of its 10% to 20% target range, with acquisitions expected to account for roughly 20% of growth, subject to normal variability.

On margins, Lowitt said the company was comfortable with its current level near 24% and sees potential for further expansion over time, though he expects any improvement to be gradual. He said Marex's clearing margins, which were affected by an isolated client default in the first quarter, otherwise appeared to be operating in a range near 50%.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marex Group Limited (‘Marex' or the ‘Group'; Nasdaq: MRX) a diversified global financial services platform providing market access, infrastructure services and essential liquidity to clients across commodities and financial markets, today reported the Group's preliminary unaudited financial results for the second quarter ('Q2 2026'). Ian Lowitt, Group Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We delivered record first half revenue and profitability, with Adjusted Profit Before Tax1 for the first six months of 2026 of $318.6m.

The market expects Marex Group PLC (MRX - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 12, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.36 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +33.3%.

Revenues are expected to be $589 million, up 17.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 4.77% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Marex Group PLC?For Marex Group PLC, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -3.32%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #1.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Marex Group PLC will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Marex Group PLC would post earnings of $1.4 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.48, delivering a surprise of +5.71%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Marex Group PLC doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

LONDON, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marex Group Limited (‘Marex’ or the ‘Group’; NASDAQ: MRX), the diversified global financial services platform, today announces it has agreed to acquire Bright Point International (‘BPI’), an Asian focused clearing business, to further expand its footprint across the Asia Pacific region and provide access to the markets in China.

BPI is a Singapore-based multi-asset clearing business with strong Asia Pacific and China-linked client relationships, adding scale, client balances and regional expertise to Marex.

The acquisition will add approximately $800m in client balances and over 70 employees across Singapore, Hong-Kong, China, Norway and the United Kingdom.

The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete by late 2026 or early 2027.

Have you been paying attention to shares of Marex Group PLC (MRX - Free Report) ? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 22.1% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $53.99 in the previous session. Marex Group PLC has gained 38.5% since the start of the year compared to the -0.6% move for the Zacks Finance sector and the -8% return for the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry.

What's Driving the Outperformance?The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on March 3, 2026, Marex Group PLC reported EPS of $1.13 versus consensus estimate of $1.02.

For the current fiscal year, Marex Group PLC is expected to post earnings of $4.89 per share on $2.33 in revenues. This represents a 22.56% change in EPS on a 14.99% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $5.59 per share on $2.51 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 14.31% and 7.71%, respectively.

Valuation MetricsMarex Group PLC may be at a 52-week high right now, but what might the future hold for the stock? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.

On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. Investors should consider the style scores a valuable tool that can help you to pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.

Marex Group PLC has a Value Score of B. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are B and D, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.

In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 10.9X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 12.2X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 11.4X versus its peer group's average of 9.4X. This isn't enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective.

Zacks RankWe also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, Marex Group PLC currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) thanks to a solid earnings estimate revision trend.

Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Marex Group PLC meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though Marex Group PLC shares could have potential in the weeks and months to come.

How Does MRX Stack Up to the Competition?Shares of MRX have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Piper Sandler Companies (PIPR - Free Report) . PIPR has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value Score of B, a Growth Score of A, and a Momentum Score of C.

Earnings were strong last quarter. Piper Sandler Companies beat our consensus estimate by 45.76%, and for the current fiscal year, PIPR is expected to post earnings of $4.68 per share on revenue of $1.97 billion.

Shares of Piper Sandler Companies have gained 18.7% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 18.82X and a P/CF of 16.8X.

The Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry is in the top 27% of all the industries we have in our universe, so it looks like there are some nice tailwinds for MRX and PIPR, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.

The market expects Marex Group PLC (MRX - Free Report) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 6, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.30 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +42.9%.

Revenues are expected to be $687 million, up 47% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 7.6% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Marex Group PLC?For Marex Group PLC, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +8.19%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #1.

So, this combination indicates that Marex Group PLC will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Marex Group PLC would post earnings of $1.02 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.13, delivering a surprise of +10.78%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Marex Group PLC appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerAnother stock from the Zacks Financial - Miscellaneous Services industry, CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS - Free Report) , is soon expected to post earnings of $0.24 per share for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -40%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $133.15 million, up 8.5% from the year-ago quarter.

Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for CPI Card Group has been revised 7% down to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of -27.66%, reflecting a lower Most Accurate Estimate.

When combined with a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that CPI Card Group will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once.

NEW YORK, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marex Group plc (‘Marex’ or the ‘Group’; Nasdaq: MRX) a diversified global financial services platform, providing market access, infrastructure services and essential liquidity, to clients across global markets, today reported financial results for the first quarter ('Q1 2026').

Ian Lowitt, Group Chief Executive Officer, stated: “This record result demonstrates the strength and resilience of our diversified business and our ability to continue to deliver consistent growth. This is our eighth quarter as a public company, and every quarter has demonstrated year-on-year profit growth, which illustrates our strengthening franchise. While all of our businesses performed well in the first quarter, elevated volatility supported particularly strong results in Market Making and Hedging and Investment Solutions. Performance in April has been positive thanks to favorable trading conditions and the continued growth of our platform. While we do not expect the extreme volatility seen in the first quarter to persist, thanks to the diversified business we have built we remain confident in our outlook for the full year."

Performance for the three months ended March 31, 2026

Revenue increased by $225.0m to $692.3m (Q1 2025: $467.3m), a record first quarter, with broad-based revenue growth across all four business segments reflecting increased business with a growing number of clients alongside a supportive market environment.

Net trading income more than doubled, increasing by $173.2m to $332.3m (Q1 2025: $159.1m), driven by higher client activity and favorable market conditions across Market Making ($71.6m), Hedging and Investment Solutions ($62.9m) and Agency and Execution ($60.1m).

Net commission income increased by $45.0m to $295.7m (Q1 2025: $250.7m), driven by Clearing ($20.3m) and Agency and Execution ($24.7m) as heightened volatility resulted in increased volumes principally in the energy, securities and metals markets.

Net physical commodities income increased by $19.3m to $23.4m (Q1 2025: $4.1m) primarily from physical recycled metals, reflecting an increase in client demand.

Net interest income decreased by $12.5m to $40.9m (Q1 2025: $53.4m). Interest income grew, reflecting higher average balances of $22.1bn (Q1 2025: $17.1bn) which more than offset a 70 bps reduction in the average Fed Funds rate. However, higher interest expenses related to the Group’s $500m senior debt issuance (May 2025) and structured note issuance in Hedging and Investment Solutions brought net interest income lower overall.

Total expenses increased by $165.8m to $539.2m (Q1 2025: $373.4m), reflecting strong revenue performance which resulted in higher performance related pay and ongoing investment to support growth including the costs associated with acquisitions completed after Q1 2025, principally Aarna, Hamilton Court, Winterflood and Agrinvest.

Compensation and benefits increased by $129.1m to $420.8m (Q1 2025: $291.7m) reflecting higher performance related pay and a higher average FTE headcount.

Other expenses increased by $32.9m to $106.7m (Q1 2025: $73.8m) driven by the impact of acquisitions and continued investment in our technology infrastructure to accelerate business growth, alongside higher professional fees.

Reported Profit Before Tax increased by $51.8m to $149.8m (Q1 2025: $98.0m), with margin improving to 21.6% (Q1 2025: 21.0%), driven by margin growth across Agency and Execution, Market Making and Solutions. Adjusting items were $2.9m in Q1 2026 (Q1 2025: $(1.7)m) and related to the amortization of acquired brands and customer lists.

Adjusted Profit Before Tax¹ increased by $56.4m to $152.7m (Q1 2025: $96.3m), our strongest quarter on record, and the Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin¹ increased to 22.1% (Q1 2025: 20.6%).

Segmental performance

Clearing

Marex provides Clearing services across the full range of commodity and financial markets. We act as principal for our clients and provide direct access to more than 60 exchanges globally.

Performance for the three months ended March 31, 2026

Clearing revenue increased by $18.0m to $137.2m (Q1 2025: $119.2m), driven by record client balances and an increase in contracts cleared, with heightened client activity throughout the quarter. Growth was further supported by new client wins and the acquisition of Aarna, which completed in Q2 2025.

Net commission income increased by $20.3m to $88.1m (Q1 2025: $67.8m), reflecting higher client activity amid very elevated volatility, particularly in Energy and Metals markets, resulting in higher volume of contracts cleared.

Net interest income increased by $19.1m to $67.5m (Q1 2025: $48.4m), reflecting higher average client balances which increased from $12.0bn in Q1 2025 to $16.0bn in Q1 2026.  This increase reflected increased margin requirements amid heightened volatility, as well as continued new client onboarding which more than offset a 70 bps reduction in the average Fed Funds rate over the same period. 

Net trading income decreased by $21.4m to $(18.4)m (Q1 2025: $3.0m). This includes the impact of a default from a natural gas client, recognized across both trading income ($28.2m) and credit loss provisions ($5.7m). The loss arose from an idiosyncratic event during a period of exceptional volatility. The impact of the default is partly offset by lower performance related pay in the front office and in control and support.

Despite the client loss, our strong underlying performance drove Adjusted Profit Before Tax¹ to grow 2% to $58.0m (Q1 2025: $56.6m). Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin¹ was 42.3% (Q1 2025: 47.5%), a reduction of 520 bps reflecting the impact of the client default. Front office headcount increased to 284 (Q1 2025: 273) reflecting continued investment in geographic expansion and product capabilities.

Performance for the three months ended March 31, 2026

Revenue increased by $82.8m to $322.3m (Q1 2025: $239.5m), reflecting broad-based revenue growth across our Securities and Energy businesses.

Securities revenue increased by $62.7m to $213.7m (Q1 2025: $151.0m), driven by strong performance across most of our asset classes. Growth was underpinned by Prime ($21.6m) reflecting strong client demand. Revenues also benefited from market share gains in equities, increased client activity in rates, and continued momentum in FX following the integration of Hamilton Court, including expansion in Italy and Spain and the onboarding of new clients.

Energy revenue increased by $17.5m to $105.7m (Q1 2025: $88.2m), reflecting strong growth across the business, supported by higher client activity and trading volumes. Performance in Q1 2026 benefited from weather related disruption in the US in January and heightened volatility following developments in the Middle East in March, both of which contributed to record Energy revenues for the quarter.

Adjusted Profit Before Tax1 increased by $34.5m to $91.2m (Q1 2025: $56.7m), with Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin1 increasing by 460 bps to 28.3% (Q1 2025: 23.7%), reflecting increasing contribution from higher margin activities, particularly Prime. Average front office headcount increased to 876 (Q1 2025: 670), reflecting the addition of Hamilton Court alongside continued investment in new trading desks and capabilities.

Our Market Making business provides direct liquidity to our clients across a variety of products across the Energy, Metals, Securities and Agriculture markets.

Performance for the three months ended March 31, 2026

Revenue increased by $86.7m to $139.6m (Q1 2025: $52.9m), driven by exceptional performance across our asset classes amid very elevated market volatility.

Metals revenue increased by $41.8m to $64.5m (Q1 2025: $22.7m), our best ever quarter driven by increased volatility and diversified client activity across base, precious and recycled metals markets. Market volatility resulted in wider bid-offer spreads, which created favorable trading opportunities.

Energy revenue increased by $23.4m to $32.0m (Q1 2025: $8.6m), reflecting heightened hedging activity from clients driven by price volatility linked to the conflict in the Middle East.

Securities revenue increased by $18.3m to $32.7m (Q1 2025: $14.4m), primarily reflecting the contribution from Winterflood following completion of the acquisition in December 2025.

Agriculture revenue increased by $3.2m to $10.4m (Q1 2025: $7.2m), driven by a more stable performance across the business compared with a more challenging market environment in the prior year.

Adjusted Profit Before Tax1 increased by $39.0m to $55.8m (Q1 2025: $16.8m), underpinned by the significant revenue growth. Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin1 expanded by 820 bps to 40.0% (Q1 2025: 31.8%), reflecting strong operating leverage. Front office costs increased by $41.7m to $70.6m (Q1 2025: $28.9m), principally reflecting an increase in performance related pay alongside an increase in headcount primarily driven by the inclusion of Winterflood.

Corporate manages the control and support functions of the Group and provides operational support to the business functions.  In addition, Corporate manages the Group’s funding requirements. Interest expense is incurred through the issuance of senior debt and structured notes which is recharged to other segments through inter-segmental funding allocations to reflect their consumption of these resources. Revenues generated in Corporate decreased in Q1 2026 from the prior period as the Group maintained surplus levels of liquidity.

Control and support costs increased from the prior year reflecting an increase in salary and discretionary pay linked to the performance of the Group, the recently completed acquisitions and continued investment across our finance, risk, technology and compliance functions as we invest in our people and systems to support the Group's future growth.

Summary Financial Position

Our balance sheet continues to consist of high-quality liquid assets which underpin client activity on our platform.

Total Assets rose from $34.7bn at December 31, 2025 to $36.5bn at March 31, 2026. This increase was largely driven by continued growth in the Group's Clearing business which resulted in a significant increase in the Group's Client Balances during Q1 2026. The growth was mainly driven by higher margin requirements due to market volatility, continued client acquisitions and increased margin balances from larger clients.  This client activity was the main driver of the increase in Cash & Liquid Assets from $7.0bn to $8.6bn and the $1.8bn increase in Trade Payables to $14.8bn.

The Group's equity base increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026, with Total Equity increasing by 7% primarily driven by strong profitability in the period with Profit After Tax from Continuing Operations of $112.3m, partly offset by ordinary dividend payments of $10.8m.

Liquidity

 March 31, 2026December 31, 2025 $m$mTotal available liquid resources2,991.32,747.1Liquidity headroom1,372.51,045.8    A prudent approach to capital and liquidity and commitment to maintain an investment grade credit rating are core principles which underpin the successful delivery of our growth strategy. As at March 31, 2026, the Group held $3.0bn of total available liquid resources, including the undrawn portion of the committed revolving credit facility (December 31, 2025: $2.7bn).

Group liquidity resources consist of cash and high-quality liquid assets that can be quickly converted to meet immediate and short-term obligations. The resources include non-segregated cash, short-term money market funds, unencumbered securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government, excess funds held at exchanges or brokers, and other liquid unencumbered securities post haircut. The Group also includes any undrawn portion of its revolving credit facility in its total available liquid resources. The unsecured revolving credit facility of $150.0m remains undrawn as at March 31, 2026 (FY 2025: $150.0m, undrawn). Facilities held by operating subsidiaries, and which are only available to the relevant subsidiary, have been excluded from these figures as they are not available to the Group.

Liquidity headroom is based on the Group’s Liquid Asset Threshold Requirement, which is prepared according to the principles of the UK Investment Firms Prudential Regime (IFPR). The requirement includes a liquidity stress impact calculated from a combination of systematic and idiosyncratic risk factors.

Regulatory capital

The Group is subject to consolidated supervision by the UK Financial Conduct Authority and has regulated subsidiaries in jurisdictions both inside and outside of the UK.

The Group is regulated as a MIFIDPRU investment firm under IFPR. The minimum capital requirement as at March 31, 2026 was determined by the Own Funds Threshold Requirement set via an assessment of the Group’s capital adequacy and risk assessment conducted annually and updated after the recent acquisitions in December 2025.

The Group and its subsidiaries are in compliance with their regulatory requirements and are appropriately capitalized relative to the minimum requirements as set by the relevant competent authority. The Group maintained a capital surplus over its regulatory requirements at all times.

Maintaining a prudent approach to capital and liquidity in order to maintain an investment grade credit rating are core principles which underpin the successful delivery of our growth strategy. The Group manages its capital structure in order to comply with regulatory requirements, ensuring its capital base is more than adequate to cover the risks inherent in the business and to maximize shareholder value through the strategic deployment of capital to support the Group’s growth and strategic development.

The Group performs business model assessment, business and capital forecasting, stress testing and recovery planning at least annually. The following table summarizes the Group’s capital position as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

At March 31, 2026, the Group had a Total Capital Ratio of 253% (December 31, 2025: 230%), representing significant capital headroom to minimum requirements. The increase in the Total Capital Ratio resulted from an increase in Total Capital Resources due to profit (unaudited) in the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Dividend

The Board of Directors approved the payment of a dividend of $0.16 per share to be paid on June 3, 2026 to the shareholders on record at the close of business on May 18, 2026.

Appendix 1

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

This press release contains non-IFRS financial measures, including Adjusted Profit Before Tax, Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin, Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share, Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity and Adjusted Return on Equity. These non-IFRS financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for profit after tax, profit margin, return on equity or any other financial information presented in accordance with IFRS and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies. 

Adjusted Profit Before Tax

We define Adjusted Profit Before Tax as profit after tax adjusted for (i) tax, (ii) goodwill impairment charges, (iii) acquisition costs, (iv) bargain purchase gains, (v) owner fees, (vi) amortization of acquired brands and customer lists, (vii) activities in relation to shareholders, (viii) employer tax on the vesting of Growth Shares, (ix) IPO preparation costs, (x) fair value of the cash settlement option on the Growth Shares and (xi) public offering of ordinary shares. Items (i) to (xi) are referred to as “Adjusting Items.” Adjusting Items are excluded because they are not reflective of our ongoing underlying trading performance. They typically relate to acquisition accounting, shareholder-related activities and other non-recurring items, which can vary significantly between periods and are not considered part of the Group’s core operations.

Adjusted Profit Before Tax is the primary measure used by our management to evaluate and understand our underlying operations and business trends, forecast future results and determine future capital investment allocations. Adjusted Profit Before Tax is the measure used by our executive board to assess the financial performance of our business in relation to our trading performance. The most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure is profit after tax.

We believe Adjusted Profit Before Tax is a useful measure as it allows management to monitor our ongoing core operations and provides useful information to investors and analysts regarding the net results of the business. The core operations represent the primary trading operations of the business.

Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin

We define Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin as Adjusted Profit Before Tax (as defined above) divided by revenue. We believe that Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin is a useful measure as it allows management to assess the profitability of our business in relation to revenue.

IFRS accounting standards do not define profit margin. Therefore the most directly comparable IFRS measure for profit margin is Profit After Tax divided by revenue.

Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity

We define Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity as profit after tax adjusted for the items outlined in the Adjusted Profit Before Tax paragraph above. Additionally, Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity is also adjusted for (i) tax and the tax effect of the Adjusting Items to calculate Adjusted Profit Before Tax and (ii) profit attributable to AT1 note holders, which is the coupons on the AT1 issuance and accounted for as dividends, adjusted for the tax benefit of the coupons, and (iii) profit attributable to non-controlling interest. 

We define Common Equity as being the equity belonging to the holders of the Group’s share capital. We believe Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity is a useful measure as it allows management to assess the profitability of the equity belonging to the holders of the Group’s share capital.

The most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure is profit after tax.

Adjusted Return on Equity

We define the Adjusted Return on Equity as the Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity (as defined above) divided by the average Common Equity for the period.

Common Equity is defined as being the equity belonging to the holders of the Group’s share capital.  Average Common Equity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 is calculated as the average of Common Equity as at 31 December of the prior period and 31 March of the current period. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, Adjusted Return on Equity is calculated for comparison purposes on an annualized basis as Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity for the period multiplied by four and then divided by average Common Equity for the period. It is presented on an annualized basis for comparison purposes. We believe Adjusted Return on Equity is a useful measure as it allows management to assess the return on the equity belonging to the holders of the Group’s share capital.

The most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards measure for Adjusted Return on Equity is Return on Equity, which is calculated as profit after tax for the period divided by average equity. Average equity is calculated as the average of total equity as at 31 December of the prior year and 31 March of the current year.

Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share

Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share is defined as the Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity for the period divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares for the period. We believe Adjusted Basic Earnings per Share is a useful measure as it allows management to assess the profitability of our business per share. The most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards metric is Basic Earnings per Share. This metric has been designed to highlight the Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity over the available share capital of the Group.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is defined as the Adjusted Profit After Tax Attributable to Common Equity for the period divided by the diluted weighted average shares for the period. We believe Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share is a useful measure as it allows management to assess the profitability of our business per share on a diluted basis. Dilution is calculated in the same way as it has been for Diluted Earnings per Share. The most directly comparable IFRS Accounting Standards metric is Diluted Earnings per Share.

We believe that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. Our management uses these non-IFRS financial measures to evaluate our business strategies and to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We believe that these non-IFRS financial measures provide useful information to investors because they improve the comparability of our financial results between periods and provide for greater transparency of key measures used to evaluate our performance. In addition these non-IFRS financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present related performance measures when reporting their results.

These non-IFRS financial measures are used by different companies for differing purposes and are often calculated in different ways that reflect the circumstances of those companies. In addition, certain judgments and estimates are inherent in our process to calculate such non-IFRS financial measures. You should exercise caution in comparing these non-IFRS financial measures as reported by other companies.

These non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards. Some of these limitations are: 

they do not reflect costs incurred in relation to the acquisitions that we have undertaken;they do not reflect impairment of goodwill;other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures; andthe adjustments made in calculating these non-IFRS measures are those that management considers to be not representative of our core operations and, therefore, are subjective in nature. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on these non-IFRS financial measures.

Key Performance Indicators

We also use key performance indicators (“KPIs”) such as Average Balances and Contracts Cleared to assess the performance of our business and believe that these KPIs provide useful information to both management and investors by showing the growth of our business across the periods presented.

Our management uses these KPIs to evaluate our business strategies and to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period. We define certain terms used in this release as follows:

“FTE” means the number of our full-time equivalents as of the end of a given period, which includes permanent employees and contractors.

“Average FTE” means the average number of our full-time equivalents over the period, including permanent employees and contractors.

“Average Balances” means the average of the daily holdings in exchanges, banks and other investments over the period. Previously, average balances were calculated as the average month end amount of segregated and non-segregated client balances that generated interest income over a given period.

“Total Capital Ratio” means our total capital resources in a given period divided by the capital requirement for such period under the IFPR.

“Contracts Cleared” means the total number of contracts cleared in a given period.

“Volumes” means the volume of exchange traded derivatives transacted in a given period.

Clearing Market Volumes are calculated as futures and options traded and/or cleared on Marex key exchanges (CBOT, CME, Eurex, Euronext, ICE, LME, NYMEX, COMEX, SGX).

Owner fees are excluded from operating expenses as they do not form part of the operation of the business and ceased to be incurred after the completion of our offering.Adjusted Operating Tax represents the tax effect on the Group's non-operating adjusting items and the tax benefit of the coupons.Profit attributable to Additional Tier 1 (AT1) note holders includes the coupons on the AT1 which are accounted for as dividends.Loss attributable to non-controlling interest relates to the Group's acquisition of Hamilton Court.Adjusted Profit Before Tax Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Profit Before Tax (as defined above) by Revenue for the period.The weighted average numbers of diluted shares used in the calculation of earnings per share are as follows: three months ended March 31, 2026 76,218,307 and three months ended March 31, 2025 74,934,788.Average Common Equity for each three-month period is calculated as the average balance of total equity minus additional Tier 1 capital and non-controlling interest as at 31 December of the prior year and 31 March of the current year.

Marex Group plc (MRX) delivered strong Q1 results, with revenues up 48% and adjusted profit before tax up 59%, driven by volatility in energy and metals. MRX's forward P/E of 11.5x and high 22.1% operating margin position it attractively versus peers, despite a cyclical, volatility-dependent business model. Revenue diversification into clearing, securities, and solutions segments reduces reliance on commodities, but future growth remains sensitive to macroeconomic cycles.
