Swissquote Raises 2025 Guidance after Solid Jump in H1 Revenue and Profits

Swissquote closed the first six months of 2025 with net revenue of CHF 358.2 million ($444.2 million) and a pre-tax profit of CHF 185.2 million ($229.6 million). The two figures rose by 13 per cent and 9.1 per cent year-on-year, respectively. Net profit reached CHF 158.2 million ($196.2 million), up 9.4 per cent.

Expectations Are Now Higher

Following the results, the company raised its full-year pre-tax profit guidance to CHF 365 million ($452.6 million) from CHF 355 million ($440.2 million). It is also expecting to generate around CHF 700 million in revenue, up from CHF 675 million.

As FinanceMagnates.com reported earlier, Swissquote is targeting CHF 500 million ($620.0 million) in net profit in 2028 after posting a record result in 2024.

In its latest announcement, Swissquote said its net fee and commission income increased by 26 per cent to CHF 109.5 million ($135.8 million), driven by a 25 per cent rise in the total number of transactions to 3.5 million. Net trading income also climbed by 46.4 per cent.

Like many other trading platforms, crypto is one of Swissquote’s core offerings. Net crypto asset income jumped 22.7 per cent to CHF 43.1 million ($53.4 million), mainly due to a 16.2 per cent increase in crypto trading volumes.

Alongside higher revenue, Swissquote expanded its resources, particularly by increasing headcount in its technology teams and strengthening its international operations. Despite the higher operating costs, the company achieved a record profit for the six-month period.

58,000 New Clients

The Switzerland-headquartered company also benefited from strong client growth, adding more than 58,000 new accounts — three-quarters of the growth achieved in 2024.

Client assets on the platform rose 18.1 per cent to a record CHF 80.4 billion ($99.7 billion), boosted by CHF 5.2 billion ($6.4 billion) in purely organic net new money.

“Despite the turbulent market environment, customers’ portfolios remained resilient, with client assets experiencing only a slight negative impact,” Swissquote said. “The portion of cash in client assets increased by approximately CHF 900 million ($1.12 billion) in the first six months of 2025 and remained stable as a percentage of total assets.”
