This Unstoppable Stock-Split Stock -- Which Is Up 700% Since Its IPO -- Could Be the Ultimate Long-Term Buy
Interactive Brokers operates one of the world's largest online investing platforms for stocks, options, futures, and cryptocurrency.
Interactive stock has soared by more than 700% since it went public in 2007, prompting a 4-for-1 stock split last month.
That incredible run of performance is likely to continue, based on Interactive's latest operating results.
10 stocks we like better than Interactive Brokers Group ›
When a company creates a significant amount of value over the long term, its stock price can soar into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars, which makes it difficult for the average retail investor to buy whole shares. But a stock split solves that by increasing the number of shares in circulation, which organically reduces the price per share by a proportionate amount. It doesn't change the underlying value of the company, it just makes the stock more accessible to smaller investors.
Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ: IBKR) operates one of the world's largest online investing platforms for stocks, options, futures, and cryptocurrencies. Its stock has gained more than 700% since going public in 2007, and it was recently trading for more than $200. The company executed a 4-for-1 stock split in June, which increased its share count fourfold and reduced its price per share to just $50 at the time.
Interactive is likely to continue creating value for investors over the long term, so here's why its stock might be a great buy right now.
Interactive is experiencing an influx of new clients
Interactive Brokers recently reported its operating results for the second quarter. The company had a record 3.87 million customers at the end of the period, which was a whopping 32% increase from the same time last year. Stock market volatility tends to attract new investors, and the second quarter had that in spades.
On April 2, President Donald Trump announced a series of tariffs on America's trading partners, which contributed to a 19% plunge in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index as investors braced for a global economic slowdown. But by June 30, the president had paused the most aggressive aspects of his new trade policy, which led to a full recovery in the S&P -- and even a new high.
The elevated volatility drove a staggering 49% year-over-year increase in Interactive's DARTs (daily active revenue trades) metric during Q2, which means clients were feverishly adjusting their portfolios amid the chaos.
Customer equity also surged 34% to a new quarterly high of $664.6 billion by the end of the quarter. This represents the collective value of all the stocks, securities, and cash customers are holding on Interactive's platform. The new all-time high in the S&P 500 (and other market indexes) boosted the customer equity figure, but the influx of new clients was also a tailwind.
Interactive earns commissions based on the value of every stock, cryptocurrency, options, and futures transaction executed by its clients, so a higher customer equity figure can directly translate into more revenue for the company.
Interactive's commission revenue is growing rapidly
Interactive Brokers generated $1.48 billion in total revenue during the second quarter, which was a 20% increase from the year-ago period. The company's revenue has two main components:
Commission revenue, which Interactive earns by processing transactions for its clients. This came in at $516 million during the quarter, which was up 27% year over year.
Net interest revenue, which is the interest Interactive earns on its own cash reserves, the cash it's holding for its clients, and on margin loans. This came in at $860 million during the quarter, up 9%.
There is a third, much smaller component made up of other service fees and income, which came in at $104 million.
Interactive's strong commission revenue growth reflects the surge in both trading volume and customer equity in the second quarter. Net interest revenue grew at a more modest pace because interest rates are currently lower than they were a year ago, after the Federal Reserve's three rate cuts near the end of 2024.
Analyst expect the Fed to continue cutting rates in 2025 and 2026, which could eventually lead to declines in Interactive's net interest revenue, unless its margin loan book and cash balances climb significantly to offset them.
Interactive stock could be a great long-term buy
Interactive Brokers is highly profitable, delivering $0.51 in earnings per share (EPS) during the second quarter, representing growth of 24%. The result carried the company's trailing-12-month EPS to $1.94 (adjusted for its recent 4-for-1 stock split).
That places its stock at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 32, which isn't exactly cheap considering the S&P 500 trades at a P/E ratio of 24.7. But the premium valuation might be justified considering the stock has consistently beaten the index since going public in 2007.
As I mentioned at the top, Interactive stock is up by more than 700% since then, which translates to a compound annual return of 12.5%. That's better than the average annual return of 10.1% from the S&P 500 during the same period.
It's possible Interactive's valuation becomes a barrier to further upside in the short term, but with quarterly customer growth of at least 30% for the past three consecutive quarters, soaring trading volumes, and record client equity, I think its stock is in a great position to continue beating the market over the long term. Thanks to the recent split, investors of all kinds have an opportunity to own one full share.

Fashion's Imperfection-and the SMX Technology That's Fixing It
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2025 / In today's fashion economy, style alone isn't enough. Gen X and Millennial consumers are driving a shift that goes far deeper than seasonal trends. They want to know not just what they're wearing-but who made it, how it was made, and whether it reflects the values they live by. That means ethical sourcing, verified materials, and transparency from origin to outlet. That means for brands, vague sustainability slogans and unverifiable claims no longer cut it. SMX (Security Matters) (NASDAQ: SMX ), a leader in converting physical items into secure digital records for circular economy applications, is capitalizing, by quietly transforming fashion's entire supply chain infrastructure with one mission: to make every item of clothing traceable, provable, and tamper-proof-starting at the molecular level. The SMX Approach to Authenticating Fashion's Supply Chain The truth is, fashion's supply chains were never designed for transparency. Decades of fragmented sourcing, outsourced production, and superficial certification programs left even the most well-meaning brands struggling to validate their claims. While tools like RFID tags helped track inventory, they offered little in the way of material authentication or provenance protection. RFID is external. It can be peeled off, copied, or lost. It's useful for managing warehouses-not for proving a brand's sustainability story. SMX offers something different. Its patented chemical-based markers are embedded directly into raw materials-organic cotton, vegan leather, dyes, metals, and more. These invisible fingerprints are paired with a digital twin, creating a permanent, tamper-proof record of a product's lifecycle. Every step-from material sourcing to production, distribution, resale, and even recycling-is logged and time-stamped. The result is a fully authenticated supply chain where nothing slips through the cracks. For brands, it's a game-changer. With SMX, they can prove exactly where an item came from, how it was made, and that it hasn't been tampered with. This forensic-level traceability isn't just about compliance. It's about control-and about building trust with a new generation of buyers who are tired of greenwashing and hungry for receipts. Why Gen X and Millennials Are Driving the Shift According to multiple consumer studies, more than 70% of Millennials say a brand's sustainability practices influence their buying decisions. Gen X isn't far behind. These consumers aren't just socially aware-they're digitally fluent. They know how to scan QR codes, follow supply chain maps, and demand transparency before swiping their credit cards. In short, they expect proof. SMX meets that expectation head-on. With its ability to track and verify materials throughout the entire product lifecycle, SMX is enabling brands to show-not just say-that their goods are ethically and sustainably produced. That's the difference between marketing and measurable action. And let's not forget what's happening in government. The EU's Green Deal, along with legislation like California's Responsible Textile Recovery Act, is cracking down on false sustainability claims and requiring more detailed environmental disclosures. SMX gives brands a built-in advantage in meeting these new rules, with immutable digital proof embedded in every product. Brands also recognize that SMX doesn't just help them comply-it protects them. Counterfeit goods cost the global fashion industry over $500 billion annually. SMX's embedded molecular markers act as a shield, verifying authenticity in real-time and safeguarding brand equity. Whether it's a luxury handbag or a recycled denim jacket, brands can now defend their products-and their reputations-at the molecular level. Where Sustainability and Security Converge What makes SMX especially powerful is how it links traceability to value. The company's Plastic Cycle Token (PCT) initiative is a bold example of that. It rewards verified circular behavior-recycling, ethical sourcing, reuse-with a digital asset that represents tangible, provable impact. In other words, sustainability isn't just good for the planet. It becomes part of a brand's financial strategy. This dual benefit-security plus ESG compliance-isn't lost on investors, either. As sustainability becomes a major factor in long-term value creation, SMX offers a unique position: it's not just helping companies tell their sustainability story-it's helping them audit it, verify it, and build entire ecosystems around it. And because SMX works across industries-fashion, packaging, electronics, automotive-brands that use it in one vertical often discover efficiencies and insights that ripple throughout their operations. It's the kind of scalable tech infrastructure that pays dividends well beyond its point of installation. The New Standard of Authenticity The world has entered a new chapter in fashion. And Gen X and Millennial consumers aren't waiting for brands to catch up-they're shifting their spending now. They want the full story. They want accountability. And they want proof. SMX gives brands the tools to meet that demand, not just with words, but with molecularly verifiable action. This isn't just a compliance tool-it's a trust engine. It's a brand protection system built for the realities of modern commerce. Put simply, SMX turns transparency into a competitive advantage, empowering companies to prove what others only claim. And at a time when authenticity is the new luxury, there is no compromise. About SMX As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

Stocks maintained their gains on mixed US economic news that showed Jun JOLTS job openings fell more than expected, but the Jul consumer confidence index rose more than expected. M&A activity is also supportive of stocks as Union Pacific agreed to acquire Norfolk Southern for about $85 billion, or around $320 a share. Also, Baker Hughes acquired Chart Industries for $9.6 billion, or about $210 a share. Weighing on the Dow Jones Industrials is a -4% fall in Merck & Co after it said it will extend its shipment pause of the Gardasil vaccine to China through at least the end of the year, citing soft demand. Also, UnitedHealth Group is down more than -4% after reporting weaker-than-expected Q2 adjusted EPS and forecasting full-year adjusted EPS below consensus.

US Jun JOLTS job openings fell -275,000 to 7.437 million, weaker than expectations of 7.500 million. The Conference Board US Jul consumer confidence index rose +2.0 to 97.2, stronger than expectations of 96.0. The markets this week will focus on any news of new trade deals before Friday's deadline. The 2-day FOMC meeting began today, and the Fed is expected to keep the fed funds target range unchanged at 4.25% to 4.50% when the meeting ends on Wednesday. Also on Wednesday, the Jul ADP employment change is expected to climb by +80,000. Finally, on Wednesday, Q2 GDP is expected to expand by +2.4% (q/q annualized) and the Q2 core PCE price index is expected to ease to +2.3% from +3.5% in Q1. On Thursday, initial weekly unemployment claims are expected to rise by 6,000 to 223,000, and the Q2 employment cost index is expected to increase by 0.8%. Also, Jun personal spending is expected to climb +0.4% m/m and Jun personal income is expected to rise +0.3% m/m. In addition, the Jun core PCE price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, is expected to climb +0.3% m/m and +2.7% y/y. Finally, on Thursday, the Jul MNI Chicago PMI is expected to increase by +1.6 to 42.0. On Friday, Jul nonfarm payrolls are expected to increase by +109,000 and the Jul unemployment rate is expected to rise by +0.1 to 4.2%.

Finally, the University of Michigan Jul consumer sentiment index is expected to be unrevised at 61.8. The markets are awaiting President Trump's August 1 deadline for trade deals to avoid high tariffs. On July 16, Mr. Trump announced that he intends to send a tariff letter to more than 150 countries, notifying them that their tariff rates could be 10% or 15%, effective August 1. As an update, Mr. Trump last Wednesday said, 'We'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15% and 50%,' an indication that the floor for tariffs is rising and suggesting that he would not go below 15%. Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 3% at the Tue/Wed FOMC meeting and 64% at the following meeting on September 16-17. This week kicks off the earnings season's busiest week, with 38% of the stocks in the S&P 500 reporting quarterly earnings, double the amount reported last week. The earnings results of Magnificent Seven members will be front and center, with Microsoft and Meta Platforms reporting on Wednesday and Apple and reporting on Thursday. Early results show that S&P 500 earnings are on track to rise +4.5% for the second quarter, better than the pre-season expectations of +2.8% y/y, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.

China's Shanghai Composite closed up +0.33%. Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -0.79%. Interest Rates September 10-year T-notes (ZNU25) today are up +11 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield is down -5.4 bp to 4.356%. T-notes are moving higher today on some short covering ahead of the results of the 2-day FOMC meeting that began today. T-notes extended their gains after the Jun JOLTS job openings fell more than expected, a dovish factor for Fed policy. Limiting gains in T-notes are supply pressures, as the Treasury will auction $30 billion of 2-year floating-rate notes and $44 billion of 7-year T-notes later today. Also, today's strength in stocks has reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes. European government bond yields today are mixed. The 10-year German bund yield is up +0.2 bp to 2.691%. The 10-year UK gilt yield fell from a 1-week high of 4.681% and is down -3.0 bp to 4.617%. The ECB's Jun 1-year inflation expectations eased to +2.6% from 2.8% in May. The ECB's Jun 3-year inflation expectations were unchanged from May at +2.4%. Swaps are discounting the chances at 15% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the September 11 policy meeting. US Stock Movers The strength in chip stocks today is providing support to the broader market. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is up more than +4% and Marvell Technology (MRVL) is up more than +2%.
