Tradegate AG, a market specialist for shares and exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the Tradegate Berlin Stock Exchange, has announced an exceptionally strong first half of 2026. Revenue increased by 15% compared to the same period last year, reaching approximately EUR 281 billion. The number of individual transactions surged by 31.7% to 47,497,913 trades, reflecting heightened market activity and investor engagement.
The company experienced notable fluctuations in turnover throughout the half-year. January and June recorded the highest increases, each around 50% year-on-year, while March and April saw declines of 5.5% and 13.2%, respectively. These variations were influenced by market conditions, with periods of high volatility leading to better gross margins in securities trading. Consequently, profit from ordinary activities grew disproportionately to turnover, rising by 63.7% to EUR 66.11 million. Net profit after tax increased by 64.2% to EUR 46.087 million.
Looking ahead, the positive trend has continued into the second half of the year. In the first six weeks, turnover showed moderate growth of approximately 12% compared to the same period last year. This momentum suggests sustained investor interest and favorable market conditions.
The half-yearly report is available on the company’s website at www.tradegate.ag.
