Swissquote reported rising net revenue for H1 2026 (CHF 364.2 million) and pre-tax profit (CHF 153.6 million); client assets also climbed to a record CHF 96.3 billion with net new money of CHF 5.1 billion.

Swissquote reports a slight rise in net revenue for H1 2026 to 364.2 million CHF, but crypto revenues plunged by two-thirds to 14.6 million CHF due to the sharp decline in Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Pre-tax profit and net profit fell slightly to 182.9 million CHF and 153.6 million CHF, weighed down by higher costs from the full consolidation of subsidiary Yuh and investments in technology. Client assets rose strongly to 96.3 billion CHF with net inflows of 5.1 billion CHF; nevertheless the group has lowered its annual targets to net revenue of around 730 million CHF and pre-tax profit of around 365 million CHF. Swissquote expects a delayed recovery in the crypto market but remains committed to a 500 million CHF pre-tax profit target for 2028. » Mere på finanzen.net
