Record Q2 2026 revenue and profit
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, UP Fintech reported total revenue of $182.3 million, which represented year-over-year growth of 31.4 percent and a sequential increase of 17.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2026, according to the company’s second-quarter results announcement the Q2 2026 financial results release.

Management highlighted in the Q2 2026 earnings call that operating profit for the same period came in at $56.8 million, which was up 19.5 percent quarter over quarter and 12.6 percent year over year, showing that the company is expanding its operating margin alongside the strong top-line growth the Q2 2026 earnings call transcript.
Income mix and user growth
The Q2 2026 call provided further detail on how the revenue was generated, with commission income reaching $78.3 million, up 21 percent year over year and 17 percent quarter over quarter, and interest income rising to $79.8 million, which was 36 percent higher than in the prior-year quarter and 24 percent higher than in the first quarter of 2026 the detailed segment metrics in the Q2 2026 transcript.
Together, these components brought total revenue for the quarter to around $182 million, setting what management described as an all-time high and reinforcing the narrative that higher trading activity and larger margin and cash balances are supporting both fee-based and interest-based income streams the Q2 2026 revenue commentary.
UP Fintech’s user base also expanded meaningfully in the second quarter of 2026, as the firm added 32,600 new funded accounts during the period, representing an increase of 12.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2026, with the majority of those new accounts coming from Singapore and Hong Kong according to the earnings call, which suggests further penetration in key Asian wealth hubs the funded accounts data from the Q2 2026 transcript.
Penalty impact and margin rebuild

Excluding the effect of this $59.7 million one-time item, management noted that second-quarter 2026 GAAP and non-GAAP net income attributable to UP Fintech both increased approximately 20 percent quarter over quarter, indicating that underlying profitability improved even when adjusting for the regulatory-related charge in the previous period the adjusted profit progression discussion.
This pattern, where operating profit is growing year over year and quarter over quarter while net income rebounds from a prior loss driven by a single penalty, supports the view that the core brokerage and margin-lending business is structurally profitable, and that the company has capacity to absorb non-recurring costs without losing the underlying earnings power observed in the second quarter of 2026.
Capital return and share repurchases
Alongside the record revenue and improved profit metrics, UP Fintech has begun returning capital to shareholders through a share repurchase program, with management stating in the Q2 2026 call that as of the close of the U.S. market immediately before the call they had cumulatively repurchased approximately $5 million worth of American Depositary Shares under the buyback plan that was announced on June 2, 2026 the share repurchase detail from the Q2 2026 transcript.
Buybacks of this scale relative to UP Fintech’s market capitalization tend to be interpreted as a sign that management considers the shares undervalued or at least sees repurchases as accretive on a per-share earnings basis, especially following a quarter in which net income shifted from a loss to a profit and operating profit posted double-digit percentage gains versus both the prior quarter and the same period of the previous year.
