CMC Markets Reports 15% Rise in FY2026 Net Operating Income

CMC Markets plc reported its preliminary financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (FY2026), posting higher revenue and profitability as institutional partnerships, B2B operations, and its Australian stockbroking business continued to contribute to growth.

The company recorded net operating income of £392.6 million for FY2026, representing a 15% increase from £340.1 million in FY2025. According to CMC Markets, the growth was supported by elevated client trading activity, expansion of institutional and B2B partnerships, and record performance from its Australian stockbroking division.

Profit before tax rose 20% year-over-year to £101.3 million, compared with £84.5 million in the previous fiscal year. The company’s profit before tax margin improved to 25.8% from 24.8%. Profit after tax climbed to £73.7 million, up from £62.2 million in FY2025, while basic earnings per share increased to 27.5 pence from 22.6 pence.

Net trading revenue remained the primary source of income, accounting for around 74% of total group revenue. At the same time, investing activities continued to gain traction. Net investing revenue increased 30% to £57.8 million from £44.4 million a year earlier, driven largely by continued expansion of the Australian stockbroking business and growth across the firm’s investing platforms.

During the year, CMC Markets continued work on several strategic projects, including the rollout of its multi-asset platform and the development of its Super App architecture. The company also expanded its institutional and B2B presence through partnerships and platform initiatives.

The firm said its partnership with Australian banking group Westpac remains on track for a planned 2027 launch. CMC is also progressing its collaboration with ASB Bank in New Zealand. In the United Kingdom, Invest UK continued work on a white-label investment and savings platform with a major international bank. The company additionally announced a partnership with Currys.

CMC Markets proposed a final dividend of 8.3 pence per share, bringing the total FY2026 dividend to 13.8 pence per share, up 21% from 11.4 pence in FY2025.

Looking ahead, the company expects FY2027 net operating income to range between £460 million and £480 million. Management said trading in the opening weeks of the new fiscal year has been encouraging, supported by healthy client activity and continued strength across institutional and B2B channels.
