Plus500’s share price has hit an all-time high after it reported a rise in annual revenue and profits this morning.

The FinTech group, which floated in 2013, saw shares fly past 4,850 pence after a 7% uplift in value today.

FTSE 250 firm Plus500, headquartered in Israel and listed in London, operates technology-based trading platforms. It has delivered a total shareholder return of more than 8,000% since its London IPO, the most of any company.

This morning it reported $792.4m revenue for the year ended 31st December 2025 – 3% up on the $768.3m reported last year – while EBITDA grew 2% to $348.1m (FY 2024: $342.3m). It ended the year with around $800m of cash and no debt, and also announced shareholder returns of $187.5m in the period – made up of $87.5m in dividends and $100m of share buybacks.

The firm facilitates leveraged bets on contracts for difference and has expanded into the high-growth predictions market through a clearing deal with a CME-FanDuel joint venture, and retail exposure via events-based business-to-consumer contracts with the Kalshi exchange.

The group also completed the acquisition of Indian brokerage firm Mehta in February.

The group now has 17 international licences.

Chief executive David Zruia said: “2025 marked a year of accelerated strategic progress for Plus500. We successfully scaled our non-OTC business into a key growth driver and continued to deliver a strong financial performance with significant shareholder returns.

“Reflecting this, we have started FY 2026 with the group’s trading being supported by positive momentum across global financial markets, as well as with strong operational results including launching prediction markets products for B2C customers and completing the acquisition of Mehta Equities in India.”
