Tradegate AG has published its half-year report for 2026, revealing a period of exceptional growth and profitability. The company, which operates as a market specialist for shares and exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the Tradegate Berlin Stock Exchange (Tradegate BSX), saw its revenue increase by 15% to approximately EUR 281 billion compared to the same period last year. This growth was accompanied by a 31.7% surge in the number of individual transactions, reaching 47,497,913 trades.
The first half of the year was marked by notable fluctuations in trading activity. January and June recorded the highest increases in turnover, each around 50%, while March and April experienced declines of 5.5% and 13.2% respectively. Despite these mixed monthly performances, the overall upward trend remained strong. The company attributes the improved financial results to periods of high market volatility, which allowed for better gross margins in securities trading compared to the previous year.
As a result, profit from ordinary activities grew disproportionately to the rise in turnover, increasing by 63.7% to EUR 66.11 million. Net profit after tax also saw a substantial boost, climbing 64.2% to EUR 46.087 million. These figures underscore the company's ability to capitalize on market conditions and enhance its profitability.
Looking ahead, the momentum appears to continue. In the first six weeks of the second half of the year, Tradegate AG has already experienced moderate growth in turnover of around 12% compared to the same period last year. This positive trajectory suggests that the company is well-positioned to maintain its performance for the remainder of 2026.
The half-yearly report is available on the company’s website at www.tradegate.ag. Tradegate AG, a CRR credit institution based in Berlin, specializes in trading over fourteen thousand types of securities, including shares, ETPs, and derivatives, on the Tradegate BSX, which focuses on the needs of private investors. The company also operates the tradegate.direct app, enabling private investors to trade directly and free of charge on the exchange, and issues structured products under the Berliner Effektenbank brand.
