CMC Markets Reports Strong FY2026 Financial Growth

CMC Markets’ FY2026 Growth reflects strong financial and operational expansion in revenue, profitability, and trading activity for the year ended March 31, 2026, as the online trading and investing company benefited from higher client activity, expanded institutional partnerships, and record performance in its Australian stockbroking division. The company increased net operating income by 15% year-over-year to £392.6 million, compared with £340.1 million in the previous fiscal year, while also strengthening its position through the expansion of institutional and B2B operations and continued progress on key strategic initiatives.

Additionally, CMC Markets continued to roll out its multi-asset platform and further developed its Super App architecture. At the same time, the Australian stockbroking business delivered exceptional growth in assets under administration, trading turnover, and active customer accounts. Although operating expenses increased during the period, the company attributed the rise to higher performance-related remuneration, ongoing investments in growth initiatives, and a previously announced remediation provision in Australia linked to an industry-wide margin netting issue. Nevertheless, strong revenue growth allowed the company to improve profitability. Profit before tax climbed 20% to £101.3 million from £84.5 million a year earlier, while the profit margin improved to 25.8% from 24.8%.

Meanwhile, profit after tax rose 19% to £73.7 million, compared with £62.2 million in FY2025. Basic earnings per share also increased to 27.5 pence from 22.6 pence. Furthermore, net investing revenue surged 30% to £57.8 million, supported by continued expansion across the company’s investing platforms and another record contribution from the Australian stockbroking business. Trading revenue remained the largest contributor to overall income, accounting for approximately 74% of total revenue. CMC Markets also advanced several major partnerships during the year. 

The company continued developing its partnership with Westpac, which remains on schedule for a 2027 launch. Additionally, the previously announced partnership with ASB Bank in New Zealand progressed as planned. The company expects both collaborations to significantly increase the scale of its investing platform over time. Moreover, Invest UK continued work with a major international bank on a white-label investment and savings platform, while CMC Markets also partnered with retailer Currys to develop new market offerings. Looking ahead, the company expressed confidence in its growth prospects. 

Management stated that FY2027 would be an important year as several strategic projects move closer to launch. Early trading activity has remained encouraging, particularly across institutional and B2B channels. As a result, CMC Markets expects FY2027 net operating income to range between £460 million and £480 million while maintaining operating costs, excluding variable remuneration, at approximately £280 million.
