Swissquote Profit Guidance Beaten in 2025

Swissquote beat its profit guidance in 2025, driven by strong client growth, higher revenues, and exceptional one-off contributions, and expects to close the year with net revenue of at least CHF 720 million and pre-tax profit nearing CHF 420 million. Both results mark a strong improvement compared to the previous year, when the company reported revenue of CHF 655 million and a pre-tax profit of CHF 345 million.

Swissquote Profit Guidance Upgraded After Strong Year

The anticipated revenue for the recently concluded year surpassed the firm’s guidance of CHF 700 million, while the expected pre-tax profit rose sharply above the earlier forecast of CHF 365 million.

The Swiss online bank and trading platform closed the first half of 2025 with net revenue of CHF 358.2 million and a pre-tax profit of CHF 185.2 million.

“The results were supported by customer growth and steady revenues, as well as one-off items with a net positive impact of about CHF 50 million,” Swissquote said in its announcement.

At the same time, client assets on the platform climbed to nearly CHF 89 billion by the end of 2025, with the company attracting CHF 8.5 billion in net new funds over the year.

Swissquote’s Strategic Move on Yuh

The Swiss group also highlighted that its “most significant exceptional item” last year was taking full ownership of Yuh, a digital finance platform. Swissquote had previously owned a 50 per cent stake and purchased the remaining share from PostFinance, paying CHF 89.8 million in cash and treasury shares.

Earlier disclosures showed that Yuh added 342,369 accounts in the first half of 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 44.5 per cent. Client assets on the platform also surged by 56.5 per cent to CHF 3.2 billion.

Meanwhile, Swissquote’s Chairman, Dr Markus Dennler, chose to step down, with the board nominating Hans-Rudolf Köng to assume the position.

Notably, the Swiss broker is also searching for a Chief Executive to lead its South African operations. It entered the market in March 2024 through the acquisition of Optimatrade Investment Partners, a Cape Town–based firm that had served as an introducer broker for more than a decade.
