Adjusted pretax income rose to $1.45 billion from $1.27 billion. However, its pretax margin slipped to 78% from 79% under both reporting measures. The company reported $23.3 billion in total equity at the end of September.

Interactive Brokers Raises Quarterly Dividend
The board raised its quarterly cash dividend from $0.0875 to $0.15 per share. That represents a 71.4% increase alongside higher earnings and revenue. The broker scheduled payment for December 14, 2026, for eligible shareholders.
The company set December 1 as the dividend record date. Separately, other income fell 18% to $70 million as investing income weakened. Currency diversification gains partly offset the decline but also affected comprehensive earnings.
The currency strategy generated a $40 million gain within other income. However, a $44 million loss under other comprehensive income reduced total comprehensive earnings by $4 million. Interactive Brokers holds equity across 10 major currencies through its GLOBAL diversification framework.
