London-listed broker Plus500 said on Tuesday that Q1 2026 performance ran ahead of market expectations, in an AGM trading statement issued before its annual general meeting in London.
The company said the result was driven by disciplined, technology-led customer acquisition and supported by heightened market volatility.
Plus500 said its non-OTC operations had shown “excellent progress,” with growth in its B2B futures and prediction markets ecosystems. The company said those initiatives had increased its addressable market and reinforced its position as a global provider of market infrastructure.
The update did not include Q1 revenue, EBITDA or customer figures.
The FTSE 250 constituent said the Board remained confident in the Group’s outlook for FY 2026, underpinned by its financial position and strategic roadmap. Late the previous month, according to reports, the Board had indicated it expected FY 2026 revenue and EBITDA to be ahead of current market expectations.
Plus500 has been widening its footprint beyond OTC CFDs. In February, the company launched event-based contracts on its US B2C platform, Plus500 Futures, through products from Kalshi Exchange. Tuesday’s statement indicates management views this expansion as a key component of the company’s performance for the year.
