IG Group lifts 2026 outlook as expanding stock and crypto platforms fuel growth

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from IG Group Holdings ( (GB:IGG) ) is now available.

IG Group reported a strong first quarter, with organic total revenue rising 19% year-on-year to £331.2 million and net trading revenue up 25%, driven by elevated commodity volatility, expanded products and heavier marketing. Active customers grew 12% on an organic basis, marking a fifth consecutive quarter of sequential growth, while total assets under administration surpassed £20 billion in April on robust inflows across stock trading, Freetrade and crypto offerings.

The company materially broadened its stock and crypto propositions, launching spot crypto in multiple markets, rolling out zero-commission stock trading in new geographies and integrating the Independent Reserve acquisition to support international crypto expansion. On the back of this momentum, the board upgraded 2026 guidance to 10–15% organic revenue growth with mid-40s EBITDA margins and lifted its medium-term outlook to at least 10% annual organic revenue growth, while continuing a strategic review that includes potential acquisitions, changes to domicile or listing venues, combinations with peers and a new £125 million share buyback.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:IGG) stock is a Buy with a £1680.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on IG Group Holdings stock, see the GB:IGG Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on IGG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, IGG is a Outperform.

The score is driven primarily by strong profitability and an overall solid financial position, supported by attractive valuation (low P/E and a meaningful dividend). Technicals are positive but slightly capped by stretched momentum readings, while recent revenue and free cash flow growth declines remain key risks.
