Most Popular Narrative: 395.7% Overvalued
According to the most followed narrative, Interactive Brokers Group’s fair value of $15.08 sits far below the recent $74.75 share price, creating a wide valuation gap that hinges on how its profitability story is framed.
Earnings Show Exceptional Profitability
Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ: IBKR) reported another standout quarter, reinforcing its position as one of the most operationally efficient brokerages in global finance. For Q3 2025, the company posted GAAP net revenues of $1.655 billion, up from $1.365 billion in the same quarter last year. Adjusted net revenues totaled $1.61 billion. GAAP diluted earnings per share rose to $0.59, compared to $0.42 a year earlier. Most strikingly, the firm delivered a pre-tax profit margin of approximately 79 percent, a level rarely matched in the industry, and more than double that of many legacy brokers.
If you want to see what kind of revenue growth, margin strength, and future earnings multiple underpin that low fair value, the narrative lays out a full set of assumptions, from cash flow resilience to what happens if today’s exceptional profitability does not hold up the same way over time.
Result: Fair Value of $15.08 (OVERVALUED)
