Interactive Brokers Group delivered a mixed but broadly solid third quarter of 2026, with revenue coming in ahead of expectations even as adjusted earnings per share landed just shy of the mark. The electronic brokerage reported adjusted EPS of $0.67, missing the $0.67 consensus estimate by a narrow 0.24%, snapping what had been five consecutive quarters of beating EPS expectations. Revenue, however, told a more encouraging story, reaching $1.91 billion against a $1.86 billion estimate for a 2.84% beat, though that figure represented a 31.4% decline from the year-ago period. The single biggest driver of the quarter's strength was net interest income, which climbed 19% to $1.15 billion on the back of surging customer margin loans, which averaged $104.03 billion, up 47% year-over-year. Client growth remained a bright spot, with customer accounts expanding 35% to 5.58 million and customer equity reaching $964.70 billion. The Board underscored its confidence by lifting the quarterly dividend 71% to $0.15 per share, payable December 14, 2026.
