Interactive Brokers posted another record quarter to open 2026, with commission revenue surpassing $600 million for the first time, up 19% year-over-year, and total net revenues reaching a new high. Net interest income grew 17% to $904 million despite a 69 basis point year-on-year decline in the average Fed funds rate, a testament to the power of balance sheet growth overwhelming rate headwinds. Pretax margin held at 77%, the sixth consecutive quarter above 70%, and the board raised the annual dividend from $0.32 to $0.35, signaling confidence in the durability of the earnings base. The results are particularly notable given that the S&P 500 fell 5% in the quarter, with the Magnificent 7 underperforming the broader index, a macro backdrop that historically creates friction for retail brokerage flows.
