Barclays raises target for Interactive Brokers stock to USD 115

Interactive Brokers (ISIN US45841N1072) was trading at EUR 79.17 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 11:09 a.m. CEST, up 1.02 percent versus the Xetra close of October 9, 2026. Barclays raised its target for Interactive Brokers from USD 114 to USD 115 on October 7, 2026, according to Markets Insider.

Three milestones shape the setup

On July 21, 2026, Interactive Brokers reported second-quarter revenue of USD 1.90 billion, up 28.10 percent year over year, while net income available to common stockholders reached USD 312.0 million, up 39.30 percent. The figures came from Financial Report Insights.

On October 1, 2026, the company reported 4.111 million Daily Average Revenue Trades for September, up 6.00 percent year over year, and 5.576 million client accounts, up 35.00 percent. Business Wire also reported client margin loan balances of USD 105.2 billion, up 36.00 percent year over year.

On October 7, 2026, Barclays lifted its target by USD 1.00 while retaining an Overweight rating, making the analyst revision the latest dated market event in this sequence.

What does margin growth mean?

Second-quarter diluted earnings per share rose 35.30 percent year over year to USD 0.69, while pretax margin increased to 76.80 percent from 74.60 percent, according to Financial Report Insights. The combination of higher accounts and margin balances gives the September figures a direct operating link to the second-quarter result, although a larger margin-loan book also increases sensitivity to asset prices.

BofA raised its target to USD 116 from USD 114 and retained a Buy rating on October 5, 2026, as Investing.com reported. BofA also reduced its third-quarter earnings-per-share estimate to USD 0.69 from USD 0.71, highlighting the tension between account growth and lower average commission per cleared trade.

Results arrive October 15

Interactive Brokers is scheduled to release third-quarter 2026 results on October 15, 2026 at approximately 4:00 p.m. ET and hold its conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET, according to Business Wire. The next report will test whether September's 35.00 percent account growth can offset the lower commission trend flagged by BofA.
