Plus500 (LSE:PLUS) just put two flags in the ground. The brokerage has launched Kalshi perpetual futures to its US clients and told investors it expects 2026 revenue to come in ahead of current market forecasts.
Recent trading has been choppy for Plus500, with the share price down 16.29% over the past 90 days even as the 1-year total shareholder return sits at 10.48% and the 5-year total shareholder return is 241.88%. That mix of short term weakness and strong longer term wealth creation suggests that recent product launches and the 2026 revenue guidance are now testing whether earlier optimism still holds, or whether investors are starting to reassess risk around the story.

So does Plus500 at £32.78 reward investors who step in after this pullback, or does waiting for a cheaper entry make more sense once you compare it with the current valuation?
Most Popular Narrative: 29% Undervalued
On the most followed view, Plus500 screens as undervalued, with a narrative fair value of £46.07 against the latest £32.78 share price. The key question is whether the underlying business mix and capital returns justify that gap.
Ongoing development and diversification of the product suite, including prediction markets, single stock futures, 24/5 trading on stocks and ETFs and the planned US multi-asset super app for early 2027, gives Plus500 more ways to drive customer activity and monetization. This feeds into trading income and overall revenue.
