Citi Raises Interactive Brokers' Price Target to $60, Maintains Neutral Rating

Citi raised Interactive Brokers' price target to $60 from $53.75 and maintains a Neutral rating. The equity market rebound and resilience of retail activity are seen as tailwinds for the brokerage space. Citi prefers Charles Schwab (SCHW) over IBKR.

In a recent analyst report, Citigroup has increased its price target for Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR, Financial) from $53.75 to $60.00. The new target represents an 11.63% increase from the previous estimate, reflecting Citigroup's optimism about the company's future performance [1].

The report, led by analyst Christopher Allen, maintains Citigroup's 'Buy' rating for Interactive Brokers Group. The adjusted price target is based on the equity market rebound and the resilience of retail activity in the brokerage space, which are seen as tailwinds for the sector [1].

While Citigroup has raised its price target for Interactive Brokers, it prefers Charles Schwab (SCHW) over IBKR. Citi's analysts cited Schwab's strong position in the brokerage market and its ability to capitalize on the growth opportunities in the sector [2].

Interactive Brokers Group reported strong financial performance in June 2025, with a 1.40% year-over-year increase in Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs) and a 34% increase in client equity to $664.6 billion. The company also reported a 32% increase in the total number of client accounts to 3.866 million [3].

Despite the positive outlook, Citi acknowledges the potential risks and headwinds for Interactive Brokers Group, including macroeconomic uncertainty, U.S. policy risks related to China and Taiwan, and reliance on AI-related demand [2].
