Shares of LPL Financial LPLA gained 3.1% in after-hours trading following the release of better-than-expected second-quarter results. Adjusted earnings of $4.51 per share handily outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.21. The bottom line also grew 16% year over year.
Results benefited from robust revenue improvement, partly offset by higher expenses. LPLA recorded strong growth in brokerage and advisory assets, which acted as a tailwind.

Total net revenues were $3.84 billion, jumping 31% year over year. The top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.77 billion.
Total expenses surged 33% to $3.47 billion. The rise was due to an increase in all cost components except other expenses. Our estimate for total expenses was $3.42 billion.
As of June 30, 2025, LPL Financial’s total brokerage and advisory assets were $1,919.2 billion, up 28%. Our estimate for the metric was $1,847.5 billion. In the reported quarter, total net new assets were $20.5 billion.

LPL Financial’s recruiting efforts and solid advisor productivity will likely continue aiding advisory revenues. Strategic acquisitions and a strong balance sheet will support financials. However, rising expenses and uncertainty regarding capital markets are likely to adversely impact commission revenues.
