BGC Group Sets Record With US$955.5m Revenue and Expands Energy Market Leadership BGC Group reported record Q1 2026 revenue of about US$955.5m, reflecting a 44% to 49.4% year-over-year increase supported by organic growth and the integration of OTC Global Holdings.
Revenue in the Energy, Commodities, and Shipping segment more than doubled, and BGC reported that it is now the world’s largest energy broker, while its FMX US Treasury market share reached a record 41%.
Earnings per share came in at US$0.41, in line with analyst expectations, adjusted EBITDA was below expectations, annualized cost-saving targets were raised to US$35m, and the company declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.02 per share alongside cautious Q2 2026 revenue guidance.
The mix of record revenue, segment momentum and higher cost-saving targets points to a company leaning on both growth and efficiency, even as management signals a more measured outlook for the next quarter.
For you, the key swing factors to watch are how BGC manages compensation and leverage, while sustaining market share gains in energy and US Treasuries as volatility benefits and recent divestitures feed into Q2 results. Declared Dividend • May 15

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$286k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (78% net debt to equity). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$286k sold).

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 16% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Nov 07

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 16% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.5% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.9% net profit margin).

New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 19% This is considered a major risk.

The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (19% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (0.4% net profit margin).
