Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (ISIN US45841N1072) closed at USD 90.69 on Nasdaq on September 18, 2026, after gaining 2.61 percent in the session. The price remained below the 52-week high of USD 98.75, while second-quarter earnings and analyst targets kept the valuation debate active.

Q2 earnings beat estimates

According to Ad hoc News on September 21, 2026, Interactive Brokers reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of USD 0.69, exceeding cited consensus of USD 0.64 by USD 0.05. The same report said revenue increased 28.1 percent year over year in Q2 2026, giving the current valuation case both an earnings and growth component.

Q2 2026 net profit was reported at USD 984 million, with a net margin of 9.94 percent, according to Ad hoc News on September 21, 2026. Those figures matter because the stock is being assessed not only on revenue expansion, but also on the conversion of that growth into profit.

Targets remain above the price

On September 21, 2026, IT BOLTWISE cited a Goldman Sachs price target of USD 113.00 and a broader consensus target of USD 98.90. Against the September 18 closing price of USD 90.69, the stock stood 18.55 percent below the consensus target and 19.80 percent below the Goldman Sachs figure.

The comparison is constructive but not risk-free. MarketBeat listed a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and a price target of USD 98.90, while its valuation data showed a price-earnings ratio of 37.46 on September 21, 2026. A high valuation leaves less room for an earnings slowdown, particularly if interest income or trading activity loses momentum.

Stock stays below yearly high

Market data on September 22, 2026 showed a 52-week range of USD 58.95 to USD 98.75, market capitalization of USD 159.26 billion and volume of 1.16 million shares. The September 18 closing price was therefore USD 8.06 below the yearly high and USD 31.74 above the yearly low, placing the stock closer to the upper end of its annual range.

USD 90.69 remains the reference

Interactive Brokers stock closed at USD 90.69 on Nasdaq on September 18, 2026, with a 2.61 percent daily gain. The next valuation checkpoint is the market's comparison of future earnings with the Q2 2026 benchmarks of USD 0.69 EPS and 28.1 percent year-over-year revenue growth.
