FUTU

IBKR

SCHW

TIGR

Futu Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ:FUTU) reported a 36% increase in overall revenue in Q3, driven by a 5.3% rise in fee-based revenue and a significant 71% increase in interest income due to U.S. Federal Reserve rate hikes. The company expanded into Japan and Canada, now serving seven markets. Despite a challenging global stock market, Futu's diverse investment products and geographic expansion helped grow its paying client base by 14% year-on-year to 1.65 million. Analysts are cautious about future growth as the interest income boost may fade. Futu's stock performance remains strong, with a year-to-date increase of over 40%, and a P/E ratio of 17, comparable to Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) but lower than Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ:IBKR) and UP Fintech (NASDAQ:TIGR). Futu's entry into Japan faces challenges from zero-commission trading by local brokers, but the company sees potential profitability by offering U.S. stock trading to Japanese customers and introducing Japan stock trading to clients in other markets.
