Tradeweb Markets Rises 1.46% Amid 453rd Trading Volume Rank as Analysts Warn of High Valuation and Mixed Earnings Outlook

Tradeweb Markets (TW) rose 1.46% on September 3, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.22 billion, ranking 453rd among stocks that day. The move follows recent analyst assessments highlighting mixed valuation signals and earnings expectations.

Analyst data indicates TW holds a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold), contrasting with UP Fintech Holding Limited’s (TIGR) #2 (Buy) rating. While TW’s forward price-to-earnings ratio stands at 36.35—well above TIGR’s 15.40—its PEG ratio of 2.08 suggests earnings growth expectations lag behind TIGR’s 0.80. These metrics contribute to TW’s Value grade of F, compared to TIGR’s B, underscoring challenges in attracting value-focused investors.

Institutional ownership remains a key support factor, with 48.2% of TW shares held by institutions, albeit below LPL Financial’s 92.8%. TW’s return on equity (59.52%) outperforms broader peers, though its net margin of 27.46% faces pressure from elevated valuation multiples. Analysts project modest upside, with a $126.80 average price target implying 0.33% potential gains as of post-market hours.

Backtest analysis of TW’s performance over the past 90 days shows a 1.46% increase on the day in question, with 7-day and 1-month returns at -1.78% and -4.24%, respectively. The stock’s 1-year performance of 37.19% trails LPL Financial’s 5.0% but outpaces Nasdaq’s 5.76%, reflecting sector-specific dynamics.
