Plus500 Ltd. (PLSQF) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Plus500 LON: PLUS reported record first-half results for 2026, supported by growth in customer activity, continued investment in acquisition and an expanding contribution from its non-over-the-counter business, including U.S. futures and prediction markets.

Trading platform Plus500 reported a rise in half-year core profit on Monday, aided by higher trading activity as the company expanded its U.S. business and rolled out more products, including the fast-growing predictions market.

Plus500 Ltd (LSE:PLUS) lifted revenue 12% to a three-year high in the first half, but earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation barely moved, edging up 1% to $187.5 million. The FTSE 250 trading platform attributed the gap to a deliberate step-up in customer acquisition spending, revenue-linked costs scaling in its US business and a stronger Israeli shekel against the dollar.

Plus500 Ltd (LSE:PLUS) has reaffirmed full-year guidance after reporting its highest revenue for a six-month period in three years, helped by expansion in the US and stronger trading activity. Revenue for the FTSE 250-listed trading platform operator in the six months to 30 June came in at $462.9 million, up 12% compared to the previous year, while customer income increased 24% to a five-year record of $460.8 million.
