Interactive Brokers grows customer accounts 31% to 4.75 million. Revenue is guided near $1.68 billion next quarter. Profit per share is steady at about $0.60. New trading tools and rule changes support lasting growth.
Revenue growth could stall if trading activity slows. Profit margins may compress if costs rise. Competition or regulation could limit customer gains.
The price is about 53% above our fair value near $62. Analysts expect 12% revenue growth. We see risk that growth or profits may not meet these high expectations.
Breaks if: customer accounts fail to grow by 31% year-over-year
Breaks if: EPS falls below $0.59 next quarter

This is not a price target or investment advice.
A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This is a durable compounder investment thesis. The company has demonstrated consistent revenue and earnings growth, supported by a stable management team and robust earnings quality.
The current valuation is considered expensive compared to peers, reflecting a durable premium. The market seems to have priced in a strong performance, with a slight expectations gap indicating that some growth is already anticipated.
Management is on track to meet its revenue and earnings targets, with significant growth in customer accounts. However, there is a moderate risk of missing future guidance, which could impact investor sentiment.
The long-term thesis hinges on the performance of sector bellwethers like BNY, BK, and SF. If these companies continue to exceed earnings expectations, it could bolster IBKR's performance. Conversely, any negative guidance from these peers could weaken the favorable backdrop for IBKR.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Mixed, the news cuts both ways. The latest earnings beat supports the thesis. However, account growth faces a valuation test, which could weaken the outlook.
