CMC Markets reports strong growth in H1 2025, driven by increased trading activity and strategic partnerships across segments.
CMC Markets announces H1 2025 growth, highlighting strong performance across trading, investing, and strategic partnerships for the six months ending 30 September 2024. The company reported a 45% increase in net operating income, reaching £177.4 million, up from £122.6 million in the same period last year.
This growth reflects continued momentum in the institutional segment and increased client trading activity. Trading net revenue saw a significant surge, rising 50% year-on-year to £131.3 million, driven by robust performance across institutional and retail trading. The company’s investing segment also reported solid growth, with net revenue increasing 19% to £19.9 million, primarily due to strong international equity performance.
CMC Markets continues to expand its presence in global markets, with its UK and Singapore operations contributing modestly to net revenue as they remain in the early stages of development. The company plans further product launches, including a new FSCS-protected cash ISA in the UK to broaden its customer base.
A notable highlight of the period is the partnership agreement with ASB Bank in New Zealand, which will offer stockbroking services to the bank’s 1.5 million customers. This deal underscores CMC’s strategy to grow its B2B services and strengthen its position as a leading partner for institutional trading and investing services.
Interest income for H1 2025 reached £23.4 million, a 46% increase compared to £16.1 million last year. This growth is attributed to elevated global interest rates and the successful performance of CMC’s newly established Treasury Management and Capital Markets division. Regarding profitability, CMC Markets saw a dramatic turnaround, reporting a profit before tax of £49.6 million, compared to a £2.0 million loss in the prior year.
The company has also declared an interim dividend of 3.10 pence per share, up from 1.00 pence in H1 2024. Lord Cruddas, CEO of CMC Markets, expressed confidence in the company’s ongoing strategy, highlighting the company’s commitment to innovation and disciplined cost management. He noted that despite continued investment, CMC remains focused on improving operational efficiency and expanding its B2B partnerships.
