Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Achieved record Q2 adjusted profit before tax of $166 million, representing a 56% year-on-year increase despite a 17% sequential decline in exchange volumes.
Attributed earnings resilience to a deliberate strategy of diversifying across products and geographies, ensuring structural growth outweighs cyclical market impacts. Expanded adjusted PBT margins to 24%, driven by an increasing contribution from higher-margin, infrastructure-intensive business segments. Deepened institutional relationships, with the number of clients generating over $5 million in annual revenue growing from 49 in 2025 to 77 in 2026.
Demonstrated a disciplined M&A playbook where 80% of profit growth remains organic, while acquisitions like Winterflood and Hamilton Court delivered annualized returns equivalent to their purchase premiums. Shifted the daily profit distribution 'right-tail' significantly, with 25% of trading days generating over $3 million in profit, reflecting the platform's increased scale and breadth. Management expressed high confidence in achieving growth at the upper end of their 10% to 20% target range, supported by a robust M&A pipeline and organic momentum.
Expects the BrightPoint acquisition to close in late 2026 or early 2027, significantly strengthening the global clearing franchise and institutional access to China. Anticipates continued margin expansion to be 'slow and steady' as the firm realizes further integration benefits from recent acquisitions and technology investments. Positioned to capitalize on market structure innovation, including the the development of digital asset capabilities and the commencement of clearing services for prediction markets in the third quarter.
Maintains a conservative capital philosophy post-Bermuda redomicile, targeting a 12% risk-adjusted capital ratio to support investment-grade credit ratings. Recognized a $35 million non-operating gain from the sale of the Winterflood custody business, which bolstered shareholders' equity but was excluded from adjusted results. Completed the redomicile to Bermuda during the quarter, shifting the regulatory framework while maintaining internal management standards consistent with previous FCA requirements.
Issued $500 million in hybrid capital and $500 million in senior unsecured notes to enhance balance sheet capacity and support the expansion of the prime brokerage franchise. Noted that while interest rate declines are a headwind, clearing net interest income grew 31% as balance growth more than offset lower rates. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first.
