"And meanwhile, IG group uh why has this trading platform done so well? Yeah, there's a quite quite strong momentum for the online trading company and the shares hit a record this morning because it said that it expects to uh hit its medium-term targets for revenue ahead of schedule um in 2026 and it also extended its buyback. So that indicates really strong momentum, strong demand for its products also means that it's able to acquire and uh and have a good retention of customers uh across some of its different products. And uh now the the next step for 5G group is going to be crypto. So it's just secured a crypto asset license uh from the UK financial conduct authority uh in September. So we'll be enabling that company to expand its crypto offerings in 2026. That'll be the the real focus. And it's also now planning to increase marketing investment uh in 2026 as well to accelerate that growth."

The commentary highlights IG Group's record-setting share performance, anticipating medium-term revenue targets to be met ahead of schedule in 2026 and an extended share buyback program that underscores strong market demand. The report notes that IG Group has also secured a crypto asset license from the UK FCA, setting the stage for an expansion of its crypto offerings alongside increased marketing investment, indicating robust long-term growth catalysts.
