As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on July 30, 2026.

BGC Group reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.35, topping the consensus estimate of $0.335 by about 4.5%. Revenue came in at $845.5 million against an estimate of $812.8 million, a beat of roughly 4%, and management said the outperformance was driven by broad-based strength across all five of the firm's asset classes rather than any single area.
The standout detail was FMX, BGC's electronic Treasury trading platform, which captured a record 42% market share in the quarter. That milestone matters because FMX is widely watched as a bellwether for BGC's long-term push into electronic markets, where margins tend to be higher than in voice brokerage.
