Despite net revenues rising 21% to $1.66 billion and EPS increasing to $0.59 for Q3 2025 on Oct. 16, shares of Interactive Brokers fell 3.3% the next day. Investors were cautious about the decline in the GLOBAL currency basket, which reduced comprehensive earnings by $33 million, and the 8% drop in other fees and services.

For the current fiscal year, ending in December 2025, analysts expect IBKR’s adjusted EPS to grow 14.8% year-over-year to $2.02. The company’s earnings surprise history is mixed. It beat the consensus estimates in three of the last four quarters while missing on another occasion. 

Among the 10 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on seven “Strong Buy” ratings and three “Holds.”

On Oct 18, BofA raised its price target on Interactive Brokers to $77 and maintained a “Buy” rating.

The mean price target of $79 represents a 12.3% premium to IBKR’s current price levels. The Street-high price target of $91 suggests a 29.3% potential upside.
