Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Investment Banking & Brokerage is in expansion. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar broken — Net revenue near $1.68 billion next quarter: Revenue: $760M.
View ThesisRevenue is growing steadily — about 22% over the past year.
View GrowthMiddle-of-the-pack quality for its industry.
View QualityManagement screens strong on capital allocation, earnings delivery.
View ManagementExpectations look high — the market is pricing in about 34% growth a year, above the roughly 17% analysts expect, leaving little room for error.
View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 2% a day.
View RiskIBKR's bet rests on growing its customer base and net revenue, with cash-backed profits supporting the case. Revenue growth slowed to 16% in Q3 2026 from 28% in Q2; Q3 earnings beat. IBKR trades at 31× P/E versus the 17× peer median. The market is pricing in more growth than our forecast. A premium compression is the risk, especially with the market cycle marked Mania. Our model puts the next-quarter miss probability at 18%. The primary pillar is marked broken because next-quarter net revenue is near $1.68 billion versus revenue of $760 million. Peer multiples imply a price about 34% below where it trades; the thesis has broken. This read is provisional.

A consensus fair price across 8 valuation methods, at three horizons. As of 2026-10-29. Estimates are diagnostics, not price targets. Short-horizon estimates are close to coin-flips, so confidence is a method-agreement read, not a prediction.
Today's peer multiple on trailing earnings, with no growth credited. This is the headline read.
Adds projected growth, so it leans optimistic by design. Read it as upside context, not a base case.

A long-thesis check that carries the widest uncertainty of the three horizons.
Top 10% on quality vs scored peers
A second lens on the 12-month fair value: for companies that score high on measured quality (profitability, balance-sheet safety, earnings stability), this read trusts more of today's profit margins instead of averaging them toward their multi-year history the way the headline number does. Shown alongside the fair value above, not in place of it. A diagnostic, not a price target or a buy/sell signal.
