Plus500 Posts Record H1 Results, Announces $182.5m in Shareholder Returns
Plus500 reported record H1 2026 revenue of $462.9m and customer income of $460.8m, while announcing $182.5m in buybacks and dividends.
Plus500 Ltd. has posted record results for the first half of 2026, with revenue and customer income both hitting multi-year highs and momentum building in its US non-OTC business. The trading platform provider reported revenue of $462.9 million for the six months ending 30 June 2026, up 12% from the same period last year and 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% increase, as Plus500 invested more heavily in acquiring new customers.
Alongside the results, Plus500 announced shareholder returns of $182.5 million, comprising $100 million in share buybacks and $82.5 million in dividends. That brings total shareholder returns announced so far in 2026 to $370 million and lifts the cumulative total announced 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-year period ended. The company also struck new partnerships with Wealthsimple and Nelogica.
The core OTC trading business also expanded, entering 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.
