Futu's 6.02% Surge Drives 148% Trading Volume Spike, Stock Ranks 97th in Daily Activity Amid Global Expansion

On August 20, 2025, Futu (FUTU) surged 6.02% with a trading volume of $0.94 billion, marking a 148.71% increase from the previous day. The stock ranked 97th in daily trading activity, reflecting strong short-term investor interest.

Futu reported a 69.7% year-over-year revenue increase to $676.6 million in Q2 2025, driven by a 121.2% surge in trading volume to $3.59 trillion. Funded accounts grew 40.9% to 2.88 million, with over half now originating from international markets. Client assets reached $124 billion, up 68.1% year-over-year, supported by robust net inflows and mark-to-market gains in Hong Kong and U.S. equities.

The company expanded its product offerings, including U.S. crypto trading, structured products for retail investors, and tokenized money market funds. Strategic initiatives like the New York Mets sponsorship and localized features in Malaysia and Japan boosted brand visibility. Operating margins improved to 63.0%, up from 47.3% in Q2 2024, as revenue growth outpaced cost increases.

Futu’s international expansion accelerated, with Singapore and Malaysia markets showing significant traction. The platform added 204,000 new funded accounts in Q2, driven by Hong Kong’s IPO activity and U.S. market growth. Wealth management assets surged 104.4% to $20.8 billion, highlighting diversification beyond brokerage services.

A backtested strategy of holding the top 500 stocks by daily volume for one day from 2022 yielded a 31.52% total return over 365 days, with an average 0.98% daily gain. This suggests market momentum was partially captured, though timing risks and volatility remained evident.
