XTB Reports Record Q1 Ahead of H1 2026 Growth Push

XTB reported record financial and operating results for the first quarter (H1) of 2026, as the online trading group posted its strongest quarter to date across revenue, profit, and client growth metrics.

The company generated quarterly revenues of PLN 1.094 billion ($301 million) in Q1 2026, marking an 88.5% year-on-year increase and a 79% jump from the previous record of $173 million reported in Q4 2025. Net profit also reached an all-time high at PLN 535 million ($147 million), nearly tripling the $50 million earned during the final quarter of 2025.

XTB said the results were driven by a combination of rapid client growth, elevated market volatility, and stronger profitability per traded lot. Active clients climbed 72.4% year-over-year to 1,267,467, while the broker added 370,041 new clients during the quarter, up 90.4% from the same period in 2025.

Commodity CFDs dominated the company’s revenue mix during the quarter, accounting for 88.5% of transaction revenues compared to 29.1% a year earlier. XTB pointed to high profitability in instruments linked to gold, silver, platinum, and crude oil prices. Currency-based CFDs represented 5.1% of revenues, while index CFDs fell sharply to 2.1% from 52.3% in Q1 2025.

The company said geopolitical tensions, including conflict involving Iran and instability in the Middle East, contributed to heightened volatility across commodities and global equity markets. Precious metals and energy commodities experienced sharp price swings throughout the quarter, while US stock indices, including the Nasdaq, also saw heavy volatility.

Although average monthly trading volumes declined to $444 billion from $535 billion in Q4 2025, profitability per $1 million traded increased sharply to $216, compared to an average of $109 throughout 2025.

XTB also expanded its sports marketing activities during and after the quarter. The broker signed sponsorship agreements with the Paris La Défense Arena, global basketball body FIBA, and Italian football club SSC Napoli as part of its international brand expansion strategy.
