Plus500 is feeling pretty proud of itself lately, calling its performance in the first quarter of this year “outstanding.” The Israeli retail broker, listed in London, made this claim just before its Annual General Meeting today.
According to them, they made significant strides in both strategy and operations throughout 2023, and this momentum has carried over into 2024. They’ve even released their Q1 2024 Trading Update, showing that they’ve outperformed themselves compared to the last quarter of 2023.
They’re attributing this success to their smart marketing approach, top-notch technology, user-friendly trading platforms, and solid financial standing.
On the numbers side, Plus500 pulled in $215.6 million in revenue for the first three months of this year, marking a 4 percent increase from the same period last year and a 14 percent jump from the previous quarter. Customer income contributed $169.6 million, while trading performance brought in $30.6 million.

While they’re basking in this success now, it’s worth noting that 2023 wasn’t as rosy for them. Their net profit took a nearly 40 percent hit compared to the previous year, landing at around $270 million. Annual revenue also dipped by 14 percent to $726 million.
Looking ahead, Plus500 has its sights set on expansion. They’re eyeing up new markets and product offerings, especially in the United States where they’re making a strong push into the futures market following the acquisition of Cunningham Commodities. Beyond the US, they’re known for their forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) offerings.
Their strategy moving forward is all about growth: new markets, new products, and strengthening customer relationships. With their recent successes and strategic plans in place, Plus500’s Board is feeling confident about what lies ahead in 2024 and beyond.
