Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR) is a prominent global electronic brokerage firm, offering trading services across a wide range of financial instruments such as stocks, options, futures, and forex. Catering to both individual and institutional clients worldwide, IBKR stands out with its robust platform for trade execution and settlement, competing with firms like Charles Schwab and E*TRADE.
IBKR's strategic decision to implement a stock split, effective June 18, 2025, where shareholders will receive 4 shares for every 1 share they currently hold, aims to broaden its investor base by making the stock more affordable. With the stock currently priced at $205.05 and a market cap of approximately $86.67 billion, this move is poised to enhance accessibility.
The company's recent performance metrics underscore its strong market position. In May 2025, IBKR reported a 43% year-over-year increase in Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs), reaching 3.38 million. Despite an 11% decline from April 2025, this growth highlights the company's effectiveness in attracting and retaining active traders.

Client equity reached $628.2 billion, a 29% increase from the previous year, reflecting the company's strong financial health and client trust.
The Electronic Brokerage segment of IBKR, responsible for trade clearance and settlement, continues to exhibit robust performance.
