According to IG Group's Q1 2026 earnings update released in May, organic total revenue rose 19% to £331.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, driven by stronger trading activity and customer growth across its core over-the-counter derivatives, stock trading and crypto segments. The company upgraded its full-year 2026 organic revenue guidance to 10–15% growth, compared with its previous high single-digit outlook, and raised medium-term compound annual growth expectations to at least 10%.

Organic active customers grew 12% year on year to 309,200, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of sequential growth. IG launched spot crypto trading on its FCA-licensed UK platform during the quarter and completed its acquisition of Independent Reserve in January, enabling crypto offerings in Australia and Singapore. The group also reported total assets under administration reached £19.3 billion at quarter-end, up 20% organically.
