Plus500 Posts Record H1 Results, Announces $182.5m in Shareholder Returns | LeapRate
Plus500 Ltd. has reported record results for the first half of 2026, with revenue and customer income both hitting multi-year highs. The trading platform provider posted revenue of $462.9 million for the six months ending 30 June 2026, up 12% from the same period last year. This marks the company’s best six-month revenue figure in three years.
Customer income, a key measure of trading activity, rose 24% year-on-year to $460.8 million, the highest level in five years. EBITDA came in at $187.5 million, a modest 1% rise, as the company invested more heavily in acquiring new customers.
Alongside the results, Plus500 announced shareholder returns of $182.5 million, made up of $100 million in share buybacks and $82.5 million in dividends. This brings total shareholder returns announced so far in 2026 to $370 million, and lifts the total returned since the company’s 2013 listing to roughly $3.1 billion.
CEO David Zruia said the first half marked a turning point for the company’s US business. Plus500 launched a CFTC-regulated prediction markets platform in February, added sports contracts in June, and introduced single stock futures shortly after the half ended. It also struck new partnerships with Wealthsimple and Nelogica.
The company’s core OTC trading business grew too, expanding into Canada and Latin America and launching 24-hour trading, five days a week, on stocks and ETFs.
Active customers grew 10% to 197,294, while new customers jumped 17% to 65,723. The board said it expects full-year revenue and EBITDA to meet current market expectations.
