Analysts are forecasting more upside for IBKR too.

Shares of Interactive Brokers have outperformed the industry in the past six months. Its efforts to develop proprietary software, lower compensation expenses relative to net revenues, enhance emerging market customers and global footprint, along with relatively high rates, are expected to continue to aid revenue growth. We project total net revenues (GAAP) to see a CAGR of 6.4% by 2027. The company's initiatives to expand its product suite and the reach of its services will support financials. Its enhanced capital distributions seem sustainable, given a solid liquidity position. Yet, high expenses (owing to technology upgrades and investments in the franchise) are expected to hurt bottom-line growth to some extent. Our estimates for total non-interest expenses imply a CAGR of 9% by 2027. High reliance on international revenues is a concern.

The stock has jumped 10.45% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 1 higher, for fiscal 2025; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
