Margins Track Earnings Surge

• Trailing 12 month net profit margin is 27.9%, up from 10.5% a year earlier, alongside earnings growth of 346.7%.
• What stands out for the bullish camp is how higher margins and faster earnings outpacing revenue growth help back the idea of scalable profitability, even though the consensus narrative still flags risks that rising client acquisition costs and tighter price competition could eventually squeeze those margins again.
  • On the revenue side, trailing 12 month sales reached about $421.7 million, compared with $250.0 million a year earlier, which supports the view that scale is contributing to the margin lift, not just one off cost moves.
  • At the same time, analysts expect profit margins to ease from 21.1% to 20.7% over three years, which contrasts with the recent 27.9% net margin and gives bears a datapoint for their concern that current profitability may be above the longer run level.

Over the last year, TIGR’s profit expansion has bulls pointing to operating leverage, while skeptics question how long a near 28% margin can last in a price competitive brokerage market. 🐂 UP Fintech Holding Bull Case

Valuation Discount Versus Targets

• With the stock at $9.01, it trades at a P/E of 13 times and below both the US Capital Markets industry average of 23.8 times and peer average of 15.5 times, as well as below the cited DCF fair value of about $16.38 per share.
• Consensus narrative commentators argue that competitive and regulatory pressures could weigh on long term earnings power, yet the current valuation implies a significant discount even to an analyst price target of $13.98, which leaves room for upside if forecast revenue growth of roughly 13.4% per year and earnings growth of about 12.2% per year are achieved.
  • On the earnings side, trailing 12 month net income of about $117.7 million is far above the prior year’s $26.3 million, so today’s 13 times multiple is being applied to a much stronger profit base than a year ago.
  • Looking further out, analysts expect earnings to reach $131.6 million by around 2028, so if that path is realized the current price embeds a lower multiple on those future profits than the sector average, which moderates part of the bearish case about over optimistic market expectations.

Growth Outlook Versus Industry Shifts

• Analysts are modeling revenue growth of 19.4% per year over the next three years and earnings growth to about $131.6 million by 2028, compared with approximately $78.8 million today, while also assuming profit margins slip modestly from 21.1% to 20.7%.
• Bears argue that the push into new markets and digital assets comes with regulatory and competitive headwinds, and they point to expected share count growth of 7% per year and a shift toward zero commission trading as factors that could dilute per share gains even if total earnings rise.
  • On a per share basis, analysts see EPS reaching about $0.58 by 2028 from today’s trailing 12 month EPS of roughly $0.69, which reflects that assumed dilution and the margin drift and gives bears numerical support for their concern about per share growth lagging headline earnings.
  • At the same time, quarterly basic EPS has stepped up from $0.02 in Q2 2024 to about $0.23 in Q2 2025, which challenges the view that competitive pricing and higher marketing spend are already eroding profitability, at least in the recent reported periods.

Skeptics focus on dilution and margin pressure, while the recent run from $0.02 to $0.23 EPS shows the operating model still has plenty of leverage. 🐻 UP Fintech Holding Bear Case
