Plus500 Kicks Off $100 Million Share Buyback Program

Plus500, the Israel-founded, London-listed trading platform, launched a $100 million share buyback program today (Monday), as part of a broader plan to return $187.5 million to investors this year.

The company announced the buyback alongside $87.5 million in dividends when it released its 2025 financial results on February 9. Plus500 reported $792.4 million in revenue, a 3% increase from 2024, and raised earnings per share by 10% to $3.93. It closed the year with approximately $800 million in cash.

“This significant Share Buyback Program reflects Plus500’s disciplined capital allocation framework and demonstrates the Board’s confidence in delivering strong shareholder returns over the medium term,” the company said in a statement.

Panmure Liberum will manage the program under an irrevocable arrangement, giving the broker discretion over timing and execution. Plus500 can repurchase up to 3.8 million shares under existing shareholder authority but plans to seek additional approval at its upcoming annual meeting. The program will run until the release of 2026 full-year results.

Plus500 has conducted similar programs before, including a $90 million buyback in August 2025 and a $110 million extension in August 2024. Competitor IG Group launched a £125 million program in September 2025 through Morgan Stanley and later added £50 million to an ongoing £150 million buyback.

Since its 2013 IPO, Plus500 has returned roughly $2.9 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. Shares repurchased under the new program will remain in treasury, without voting rights or dividend entitlements.

Average deposits per active customer surged 124% to around $26,900 in 2025, even as active users fell 5% to 242,440. Plus500 said the change reflects its focus on attracting higher-value traders.

Average revenue per user rose 8% to $3,268, while customer acquisition costs dropped 13% to $1,267. Approximately half of the company’s OTC revenue came from clients trading with Plus500 for more than five years.

The company’s reported EBITDA increased 2% to $348.1 million, while currency-adjusted EBITDA rose 8%. Plus500 expects 2026 results to exceed analyst forecasts, which project revenue of $749.3 million and EBITDA of $348.4 million.
