Did TW Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Tradeweb Markets delivered a clean beat to kick off the back half of 2025, posting adjusted diluted EPS of $0.87 against a consensus estimate of $0.83, a 4.93% positive surprise, while revenue of $508.60 million edged past the $507.55 million estimate and climbed 13.3% year-over-year. The standout driver was the Rates segment, which generated $274.50 million in revenue, up 17.7% from the prior year, fueled by record mortgage average daily volume and a 22.9% surge in European government bond ADV, contributing to a record overall ADV of $2.58 trillion for the quarter. Operating leverage was equally compelling, with net income rising 61.7% to $210.55 million even as total expenses grew just 3.0%, expanding the net income margin to 41.4% from 29.0% a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 14.4% to $274.42 million, with margin widening to 54.0%. Looking ahead, management tightened its full-year adjusted expense guidance to $1.00 billion to $1.02 billion and raised its LSEG Market Data Contract Revenue outlook to approximately $92.00 million, signaling continued confidence heading into 2026.
- Record ADV in mortgages, U.S. swaps/swaptions < 1-year, municipal bonds, equity convertibles/swaps/options, and global repurchase agreements

Despite historically low interest-rate volatility and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, we continued to execute on opportunities that positioned us to drive meaningful change across our markets – and this commitment was reflected in our sustained momentum and strong volumes.”
