CMC Markets (LON:CMCX) says FY2026 marks the point where years of platform investment start to convert into scale. With net operating income up 15%, profit before tax up 20%, and major partnerships with Revolut, Westpac and ASB progressing, the group is positioning itself as far more than a retail trading brand: an infrastructure layer behind banks, brokers and fintech platforms, with a renewed push into global retail growth now underway.
