Analysts are forecasting more upside for IBKR too.

Shares of Interactive Brokers have outperformed the industry in the past six months. The company's efforts to develop proprietary software, expand emerging-market customer base and enhance its global footprint, along with lower compensation expenses relative to net revenues, are expected to support its top-line expansion. We project total net revenues (GAAP) to reflect a CAGR of 9% by 2027. A solid liquidity position will likely help sustain capital distribution activities.Moreover, its product suite expansion efforts will likely bolster the company's market share.However, elevated expenses (owing to technology upgrades and investments in the franchise) are likely to hamper bottom-line growth. Our estimates for total non-interest expenses imply a CAGR of 7.2% by 2027. A significant reliance on international revenues is another major woe.

The stock has jumped 17.06% over the past four weeks. Additionally, no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 2 higher, for fiscal 2025; the consensus estimate has moved up as well.
