On Monday, Redburn-Atlantic analysts raised the price target for Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ:IBKR) Group stock to $246 from $190, while maintaining a Buy rating. The company, currently valued at $89.5 billion, has demonstrated impressive performance with a 72% return over the past year. The analysts highlighted the company’s structurally advantaged model, driven by a proprietary, automated technology platform that enables industry-leading gross margins of 91% and offers significant value in the industry.
Interactive Brokers, which operates globally, is noted for its potential to expand further in its addressable market. The firm sees growth opportunities with individual investors, introducing brokers, hedge funds, and advisors, which remain underappreciated. With revenue growth of 18.2% and an "GREAT" financial health score according to InvestingPro, the company appears well-positioned for expansion. The analysts’ earnings per share estimates for 2025-2027 are approximately 8% above consensus.
Despite facing near-term challenges such as softer trading activity and lower net interest margins, the stock trades at a multiple of approximately 27 times next-twelve-months price-to-earnings, or about 24 times 2026 normalized EPS. The analysts argue that this is not a demanding multiple given the company’s growth track record and opportunities, along with its debt-free status and high margins.
Interactive Brokers continues to leverage its global access and low-cost structure to attract a wide range of clients, reinforcing its position in the competitive brokerage industry.
