Tradegate AG, a Berlin-based market specialist for shares and exchange-traded products (ETPs), announced its half-year report for 2026, showcasing exceptional growth in revenue and profitability. The company reported a 15% increase in revenue compared to the same period last year, reaching approximately EUR 281 billion. This growth was accompanied by a 31.7% surge in individual transactions, totaling 47,497,913 trades. The strongest months were January and June, each recording around 50% turnover increases, while March and April saw declines of 5.5% and 13.2%, respectively.
The company's financial performance was significantly boosted by periods of high market volatility, which led to improved gross margins in securities trading. Consequently, profit from ordinary activities rose by 63.7% to EUR 66.11 million, and net profit after tax increased by 64.2% to EUR 46.087 million. This disproportionate rise in profit relative to turnover underscores the efficiency of Tradegate's business model during turbulent market conditions.
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, Tradegate has observed moderate growth in turnover of around 12% compared to the previous year during the first six weeks. This positive trend suggests continued resilience and adaptability in the face of evolving market dynamics.
The half-year report is now available on the company's website at www.tradegate.ag. Tradegate AG operates as a CRR credit institution in Berlin, specializing in acting as a market specialist for over fourteen thousand securities, including shares, ETPs, and derivatives, on the Tradegate Berlin Stock Exchange (Tradegate BSX). The exchange is designed to cater to the needs of private investors, and Tradegate also offers the tradegate.direct app, enabling direct and commission-free trading. Additionally, the company issues structured products and operates private banking under the Berliner Effektenbank brand.
The strong first-half performance highlights the company's ability to capitalize on market volatility, delivering substantial value to its investors and stakeholders. As market conditions continue to evolve, Tradegate AG remains well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory.
