Company Guidance
During the MarketAxess Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company reported a 10% revenue growth, excluding the impact of foreign exchange (FX), driven by record trading volumes across various product areas, including surpassing $1 trillion in total credit trading volume and achieving a record $2 trillion in total rates trading volume. Commission revenue increased by 12% to a record $192 million, supported by strong market volumes and new initiatives. The company noted a 38% growth in block trading average daily volume (ADV) across U.S. credit, emerging markets, and Eurobonds, along with a 69% increase in total portfolio trading ADV. Additionally, dealer-initiated ADV rose by 40%. Despite a 5% increase in expenses, excluding notables and FX, MarketAxess maintained cost discipline. The company also repurchased 380,000 shares year-to-date through July 2025 for a total of $80 million. However, in July, the U.S. high-grade market share decreased to 10% from 12% in June, attributed to significant swings in block volume between phone and electronic methods, influenced by tighter investment-grade spreads and low volatility.
