2026 revenue outlook upgraded, and EBITDA margin guidance unchanged: After a "strong"

Q1 and "a good start to the second quarter", IG have upgraded revenue guidance once again. Price Performance Exchange-LSE

FY26 revenue guidance is now for organic revenue growth to be +10-15% vs the 2025 organic 52 Week range GBP 15.76-10.16

base of c£1,100m. This compares with guidance at the FY25 results on March 19th that guided

for organic revenue growth to be “towards the top end of our mid-to-high single-digit target

range”. Whilst some of the revenue upgrade is likely to be due to elevated volatility, we are

encouraged to see first trades +63% y/y in Q1, and active customer growth +12% y/y.
