Dec 16 (Reuters) - British online trading platform IG Group on Tuesday said it expects to deliver revenue growth around the mid-point of its guided range in 2026, supported by robust growth in customer activity and numbers.
The company, which had previously forecast a mid-to-high single-digit percentage revenue growth beyond calendar year 2026, has been padding up its client numbers and offerings through acquisitions and new licenses in recent months to mitigate the effects of a challenging market and lower trading activity.
In September, IG Group bought Australian cryptocurrency exchange Independent Reserve to expand its digital offerings and presence in the Asia-Pacific region. It recently acquired new licenses in the UK and EU to expand its spot crypto offerings with further propositions planned for the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Europe.
IG Group also extended its share buyback program by 75 million pounds ($100.25 million) on Tuesday, taking the total to 200 million pounds.

Revenue growth refers to the increase in a company's sales over a specific period, indicating its ability to expand its business and generate more income.
A trading platform is a software application that allows investors to buy and sell financial securities, such as stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies.
A share buyback occurs when a company purchases its own shares from the marketplace, reducing the number of outstanding shares and potentially increasing the value of remaining shares.
