Trading net revenue surged 50% year-on-year, reaching £131.3 million for H1 2025 (H1 2024: £87.4 million), driven by strong performances in both institutional and retail segments.

CMC Markets Reports 45% Revenue Growth in H1 2025
CMC Markets’ newer operations in the UK and Singapore, under its CMC Invest brand, are still in their infancy but are going to contribute further to future revenue. The company continues to enhance its offerings, with plans to launch a new FSCS-protected cash ISA product in the UK aimed at attracting a broader customer base.
A strategic partnership with ASB Bank in New Zealand marks a key milestone for CMC Markets, as the company will provide stockbroking services to the bank’s 1.5 million customers. This partnership supports the Group’s strategy of expanding its B2B services and establishing itself as a partner of choice for institutional trading and investing.
Interest income for the first half of fiscal year 2025 stood at £23.4 million, up 46% from £16.1 million in the same period last year. This growth was attributed to higher global interest rates, benefiting income from client cash balances, and a strong performance from the newly formed Treasury Management and Capital Markets Division.
The company also reported a significant turnaround in profitability, posting a pre-tax profit of £49.6 million, a substantial improvement from a loss of £2.0 million in H1 2024. This reflects strong operating income and effective cost management.
