盈透证券Q3利润与净利息收入超预期并将季度股息上调71%，但佣金与客户DART不及预期，盘后小跌

Interactive Brokers Group ( IBKR ) was trading lower after posting third-quarter earnings that exceeded analyst estimates and raising dividend as revenue trades came in below expectations. Shares were 1.62% lower at $84.64 during post-market trading on Thursday. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.67 for Q3, up from $0.57 in the same period a year ago and above the Visible Alpha consensus of $0.66. Total net revenue rose to $1.91B from $1.66B a year ago, above the average analyst estimate of $1.85B. Net interest income increased to $1.15B from $967M, exceeding the consensus of $1.14B. Commissions revenue rose to $602M from $537M, but fell short of the $616.11M consensus. The increase in NII was attributed to higher average customer margin loans and customer credit balances. Commission revenue increased on an 18% rise in daily average revenue trades and higher regulatory fees, which are passed through to customers. However, customer DARTs decreased 11% quarter-over-quarter to 4.27M, below the 4.42M consensus. Customer accounts increased 35% to 5.58M, while customer equity increased 27% to $964.7B.
