StoneX lifts its revenue view

According to Investing.com on October 5, 2026, StoneX raised its third-quarter 2026 revenue estimate to USD 1.035 billion from USD 875 million, a gain of 18.3 percent. Its adjusted EBITDA estimate rose to USD 248 million from USD 175 million, while the projected adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 24.0 percent from 20.0 percent.

The estimate revision gives the stock a concrete operating test for the next report. StoneX also said film mix constrained Cinemark's relative participation, adding a counterweight to the stronger box office backdrop.

Q2 revenue crossed USD 1 billion
