Bulls say / Bears say

CMC Markets lifted FY2027 net operating income guidance to at least £550 million and added £250 million of EBITDA guidance, from its earlier £460 million–£480 million income range. With operating costs excluding variable remuneration still around £280 million, the upgrade points to strong operating leverage if B2B growth holds. (Investegate, CMC Markets)
Institutional and B2B partnerships now provide a majority of group income, giving CMC access to large, embedded client bases through banks, brokers and fintechs. The Westpac and ASB partnerships, alongside the neobank API channel, could scale distribution more cheaply than relying solely on direct retail customer acquisition. (CMC Markets, Investing.com)
The business is becoming more diversified beyond leveraged retail trading: Australian stockbroking revenue rose 32% to A$140.3 million in FY2026, while group net investing revenue increased 30%. The full-year dividend also rose 21% to 13.8 pence per share, strengthening the shareholder-return case. (Investing.com, CMC Markets)
The upgraded outlook raises the execution bar sharply. The Westpac and ASB launches and other B2B milestones are still ahead, so delays in implementation or customer onboarding could push expected income into a later financial year. (CMC Markets, Kalkine)
Revenue growth has not translated cleanly into forecast profit: FY2026 operating expenses rose to £288.8 million, above the roughly £250 million expected by Jefferies, leaving profit before tax below consensus. Variable remuneration, technology investment and a £5.2 million Australian remediation charge could continue to limit margin expansion. (Investing.com, CMC Markets)
CMC remains exposed to regulatory and litigation risk in leveraged retail products. An Australian operating entity faces ongoing class-action proceedings over client losses on CFDs and binary products, while the group has already recognised remediation costs linked to margin-netting compliance.
