Financial Highlights
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Interactive Brokers reported a GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.63, with adjusted EPS at $0.65. The company's GAAP net revenues were $1.64 billion, while adjusted net revenues stood at $1.67 billion. This represents a notable increase from the year-ago quarter, where GAAP net revenues were $1.39 billion and adjusted net revenues were $1.42 billion.
Net interest income saw a 20% increase to $966 million, driven by higher average customer margin loans and customer credit balances, as well as stronger securities lending activity. Commission revenue also rose by 22% to $582 million, attributed to higher customer trading volumes across options, futures, and stocks.

Interactive Brokers experienced a 32% increase in customer accounts, reaching 4.40 million. Customer equity grew by 37% to $779.9 billion, and total daily average revenue trades (DARTs) increased by 30% to 4.04 million. Additionally, customer margin loans surged by 40% to $90.2 billion.
Other fees and services increased by 5% to $85 million, led by higher payments for order flow, FDIC sweep fees, and market data fees. However, execution, clearing, and distribution fees decreased by 21% to $91 million, primarily due to lower regulatory fees and higher liquidity rebates from exchanges.
Strategic Initiatives and Corporate Developments
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, payable on March 13, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 27, 2026. This reflects the company's commitment to returning value to its shareholders.
