Earnings & Sales Projections for Q2
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IBKR’s second-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.69 per share, up marginally over the past seven days. The estimate indicates a 28% jump from the year-ago quarter’s reported number.
The consensus estimate for total sales is pegged at $1.23 billion, suggesting a surge of 23.3% on a year-over-year basis.
Other Key Q2 Estimates
During the second quarter, client activity was robust, with the major indexes touching all-time highs several times. This, along with the steady rise in DARTs in each of the three months of the second quarter, is expected to have supported Interactive Brokers’ commission revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for commission revenues is pegged at $398 million, indicating a 23.6% rise from the prior-year reported number.
Additionally, higher interest rates are expected to have immensely supported IBKR’s net interest income (NII) in the to-be-reported quarter. The Federal Reserve kept the interest rates unchanged at a 23-year high of 5.25-5.5% during the second quarter. Thus, the consensus estimate for NII is $765 million, implying a 10.2% increase.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for other income stands at $13 million against other loss of $63 million in the prior-year quarter.
On the cost front, total operating expenses are likely to have remained elevated as IBKR invests in key areas to enhance platform capabilities, drive product innovation, improve customer support and build upon regulatory and compliance functions.
