Key Points:
Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBKR) has released its key operating metrics for March 2025, showcasing strong year-over-year growth despite a slight decline from the previous month.
The brokerage firm reported 3.471 million Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs) for March 2025, marking a 44% increase compared to March 2024. However, the figure represented a 4% decline from February 2025, reflecting a potential slowdown in trading activity after a period of heightened volatility.
Client growth remained robust, with the total number of accounts reaching 3.62 million, a 32% year-over-year increase and a 2% rise from February 2025. Ending client equity stood at $573.5 billion, up 23% from the previous year, though slightly lower than February by 2%.
The company saw a net addition of 87.7 thousand real accounts in March compared to a calculated account increase of 74.4 thousand. The difference of 13.3 thousand accounts resulted from accounts being escheated to governmental authorities as mandated by law.
Interactive Brokers has continued to demonstrate financial resilience. For the fourth quarter of 2024, the company reported net revenues of $1.387 billion, with adjusted net revenues of $1.424 billion.
Pre-tax income for the quarter came in at $1.040 billion, or $1.077 billion on an adjusted basis. A key driver of profitability was net interest income, which surged 11% to $807 million, fueled by higher average customer margin loans and credit balances.
As financial markets remain dynamic, Interactive Brokers’ ability to sustain account growth and maintain revenue momentum highlights its competitive edge in the electronic trading industry. The company’s robust performance in March 2025, despite slight month-over-month declines, signals continued investor interest in its low-cost, high-tech trading platform.
Investors and analysts will be watching closely to see how the company adapts to evolving market conditions in the coming quarters.
