Thesis Summary

eToro Group Ltd. has successfully transitioned to a public company listed on Nasdaq (ETOR) following its May 2025 IPO. The company has demonstrated robust financial performance, driven by its diversified multi-asset model spanning equities, commodities, and cryptoassets. Trailing metrics show strong growth in Funded Accounts and Assets under Administration (AUA), supported by product innovations like 24/7 trading and AI-driven portfolios. However, the stock continues to trade below its initial IPO price of $52, reflecting market caution regarding the volatility of retail trading volumes, particularly in cryptoassets, and intense competition from platforms like Robinhood and Plus500. A Hold recommendation is advised as the company executes its post-IPO growth strategy and integrates its recent acquisition of Zengo.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$35.0020%

A prolonged downturn in retail trading activity, combined with regulatory headwinds in key markets and market share losses to aggressive competitors like Robinhood, leads to compressed margins and stagnant user growth. Crypto volume declines are not fully offset by commodities or equities.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$49.7950%
Matches the consensus mean

eToro maintains steady growth in funded accounts (10-15% YoY) and AUA, supported by stable interest-earning assets and moderate retail trading activity in equities and commodities. Operating margins remain healthy around 35-38%, and the stock gradually recovers toward its IPO valuation multiples.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$90.0030%

Accelerated user acquisition, successful expansion of the eToro App Store, and a strong resurgence in cryptocurrency trading volumes drive net contribution and operating margins significantly above consensus. The integration of Zengo accelerates on-chain infrastructure adoption, positioning eToro as the premier global financial super-app.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
