CMC Markets FY2025 Results Show Declining Revenue

CMC Markets plc has released its financial results (FY2025) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, revealing a second-half slowdown in both revenue and profit. The company reported Revenue of £162.7 million and Net Profit of £26.9 million for the six months from October 2024 to March 2025, marking the second consecutive period of decline.

Full-year figures for FY2025 came in at £340.1 million in Revenue and £62.2 million in Net Profit, reflecting the competitive pressures CMC faces from both traditional brokers like IG Group and Plus500, as well as crypto-focused platforms such as Crypto.com and Kraken, which are increasingly moving into retail trading services.

Alongside its results, CMC announced key management changes. David Fineberg, Deputy CEO since 2019, is stepping off the board to take on the newly created position of Global Head of Strategic Partnerships, focusing on alliances with firms like Revolut and StrikeX. Meanwhile, Laurence Booth, currently Global Head of Capital Markets, will join the board as Executive Director from June 5, 2025. Matthew Lewis, Head of ANZ, will leave the board but continue leading CMC’s regional growth strategy in stockbroking and digital assets.

Shares of CMC fell roughly 12% in early trading Thursday following the announcement. Despite the volatility, the stock closed Wednesday at 284.5p, nearly unchanged from a year ago, though it has seen swings from a high of 349p in late 2024 to a low of 183.4p earlier in 2025.

Looking ahead, CMC is embracing what it calls a “three vertical future state”, with a new strategic focus on DeFi and Web 3.0. The company aims to lead the next generation of financial services with initiatives like 24/7 crypto trading, expanded digital asset infrastructure, and its recent acquisition of StrikeX.
