Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Kyle Voigt reiterated the Market Perform rating on Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBKR), with a price forecast of $181.
On Tuesday, Interactive Brokers released its first-quarter results. It reported quarterly earnings of $1.88 per share, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $1.92.
The analyst noted that the earnings miss was mainly due to a decline in net interest income, largely caused by weaker securities lending revenue.
In the first quarter, Interactive Brokers’ net interest income increased 3% to $770 million on higher average customer margin loans and customer credit balances.
