Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Interactive Brokers Group Stock In The Last 15 Years

BofA Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler revised estimates and price forecasts for several broker <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/broker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stocks ahead of earnings season</a>.
The analyst writes that a deeper equity market correction poses EPS risks from cash sweep revenues, trading/margin loans, and AUM-based fees.
Siegenthaler expects further NNA slowdowns, especially in higher ROCA retail channel vs. wealth manager, projecting a modest dip in March.
Since the correction happened late in the quarter, most risks will surface in the second quarter instead of the first quarter of 2025, adds the analyst.
Charles Schwab: The analyst projects Charles Schwab Corporation&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHW#NYSE">SCHW</a>) NII to keep rising, regardless of market or rates, as it pays down its costly FHLB/CD borrowings.
He sees a third consecutive quarter of net new asset growth, with a 4.7% estimate, near the low end of the company&#8217;s 5%-7% target.
The analyst reiterated the Underperform rating on the company and lowered the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/schw/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">price forecast from $74 to $66</a>.
Also, Siegenthaler revised EPS estimates for first-quarter FY25 to $1.03 (from $1.01), 2026 to $4.27 (from $4.82) and 2027 to $4.73 (from $5.26) due to the negative impact of a reduced interest rate forecast and lower AUM-based fees.
Meanwhile, the analyst maintains a long-term bullish stance on retail brokers, particularly online brokers like Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBKR#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>) and Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>), as their valuations and ownership setups have improved post-correction year-to-date.
Siegenthaler continues to view online brokerage as a global secular trend, benefiting from its high-tech, low-cost model, which reaches mass customers at low price points and capitalizes on the demographic shift to digital.
Overall, the analyst maintains the Buy rating on LPL Financial Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LPLA#NASDAQ">LPLA</a>), thanks to strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/lpla/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">organic growth and stable ROCA</a>.
Interactive Brokers Group: The analyst reduced the Interactive Brokers Group stock&#8217;s price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ibkr/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">forecast from $307 to $265</a>.
Siegenthaler forecasts a 3% quarter-over-quarter revenue increase driven by higher trading volumes, with account growth expected to accelerate to 32%.
The analyst lowered first-quarter/2026/2027 EPS estimates to $1.99/$8.90/$10.62, from $2/$10.14/$12.27, respectively due to expectations of lower client engagement and the impact of lower short-term interest rates on net interest income.
Coinbase: Meanwhile, the analyst notes the strong trading levels Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) in the fourth quarter of 2024 were tough to replicate in the first quarter of FY25, with a decline in crypto prices slowing client activity.
As a result, the analyst lowered Coinbase's 2026/27 EPS estimates by over 10% and reduced the price forecast from $311 to $217.
Robinhood Markets: The analyst lowered the stock price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hood/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">target from $65 to $58</a>.
While Siegenthaler expects Robinhood&#8217;s revenues to rise 44% year-over-year, this still represents a 12% quarter-over-quarter decline due to lower trading.
At Robinhood, the analyst also anticipates higher expenses and a return to a normal 21% tax rate after previously being at 0% or lower since its 2021 listing.
The analyst revised the first-quarter FY25/2026/2027 EPS estimates to 29 cents/$1.49/$1.94, from 43 cents/$1.76/$2.18, respectively, due to a lower interest rate forecast, decelerating trading volumes, higher G&amp;A expenses, and a return to a normal tax rate.
Meanwhile, the analyst remains optimistic about the company&#8217;s long-term growth, driven by business expansion, new product launches, strong client relationships, and market growth both globally (including Singapore) and domestically.

The U.S. exchange operator plans to start round-the-clock trading in the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approval to tap retail investors&#8217; surging interest in U.S. markets in different time zones.
&#8220;Over 56 exchange traded products have launched in the last five years tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index, and 98% of these products were introduced outside of the United States,&#8221; Cohen wrote.

Nevertheless, Cohen also highlighted <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-07/nasdaq-joins-exchanges-seeking-to-offer-round-the-clock-trading?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">to</a> Bloomberg the risks associated with increased volatility and higher transaction costs due to the expanded trading hours.
He added that despite the increase in overnight trading, liquidity is still &#8220;significantly lower&#8221; during those hours.
Cohen&#8217;s ambitions also depend on an update to the securities information processor (SIP), which displays the best bid and offer price of a stock on an exchange and needs to be updated to accommodate the extra hours.
Nasdaq will work with other industry participants to mitigate these concerns and risks by forming a group to do so, a spokesperson told Bloomberg.
In January, Cboe Global Markets, Inc. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43472768/cboe-global-markets-announces-plans-for-24-hour-stock-trading" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared plans to</a> extend trading on its equities exchange to 24 hours, five days a week, pending regulatory approval.
In October, the New York Stock Exchange applied to offer trading 22 hours on weekdays.
Robinhood Markets Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Interactive Brokers Group Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBKR#NASDAQ">IBKR</a>) already help customers transact U.S. stocks 24 hours a day, five days a week.
In November 2024, U.S. regulators <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/11/42238117/sec-approves-americas-first-24-hour-stock-exchange-what-it-means-for-you" rel="noreferrer noopener">approved the nation&#8217;s</a> first 24-hour stock exchange to&nbsp;24 Exchange, backed by&nbsp;Steve Cohen&#8217;s&nbsp;Point72 Ventures.
