Analysts are forecasting more upside for IBKR too.

Shares of Interactive Brokers have outperformed the industry this year. Its efforts to develop proprietary software, expand its emerging-market customer base and enhance its global footprint, along with relatively higher interest rates and 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. 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 6.8% by 2027. A significant reliance on international revenues is another major woe. Nonetheless, product suite expansion efforts will likely bolster the company's market share.

Shares have gained 5.26% over the past four weeks and there have been 1 higher earnings estimate revisions for fiscal 2025 compared to none lower. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
