- XTB went public in May 2016, and its shares have risen nearly eightfold, while CMC Markets debuted two months earlier and gained 50%.
- Among the four largest publicly listed CFD brokers, only Plus500 has delivered stronger returns since its own IPO.

XTB marked
ten years on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE: XTB) today (Wednesday) with
shares around 102 zlotys, up roughly 800% from the 11.50 zloty offering
price set when the Polish broker debuted on May 6, 2016.
The stock
touched a record 114 zlotys on April 16 and now values the company at about
12.1 billion zlotys ($3.2 billion).

A Decade in Numbers
XTB’s
listing was the largest Warsaw IPO of 2016, raising 189 million zlotys at a
1.35 billion zloty valuation. Founder Jakub Zablocki sold 16.4 million shares
at 11.50 zlotys, near the lower end of the 11.50 to 13 zloty bookbuilding
range, and shares closed their first session at 12.05 zlotys.
Since then,
the broker has paid out dividends under a policy targeting between 50% and 100%
of standalone profit. Yahoo Finance pegs the five-year total return for XTB shareholders, including reinvested dividends,
at about 819% as of late April, against 57% for the MSCI World benchmark over
the same window.

The
Warsaw-listed firm ended 2025 with operating income of 2.15 billion zlotys, up 14.6% on the year. Net profit fell
25% to 644 million zlotys as marketing spending climbed close to 70% to 585
million zlotys, the company said in its annual report.
In a LinkedIn post marking the anniversary on Wednesday, XTB said it has “grown from a brokerage into a global investment app” and now serves more than 2.5 million people worldwide. The company added that it is “even more excited about what’s ahead.”
How XTB Stacks Up Against
Listed CFD Peers
The four
largest publicly listed CFD brokers have all delivered shareholder gains over
the past decade, but with very different magnitudes.
Plus500, which listed on London’s Alternative
Investment Market three years before XTB, has been the standout among the
group. The Israel-founded broker’s shares have multiplied roughly 36 times
since the 2013 debut, supported by aggressive buybacks that have absorbed close
to $2.9 billion since the IPO.
Looking at
the same ten-year window since XTB’s May 2016 debut, Plus500 has also
outperformed XTB on price terms, while IG Group and CMC Markets have lagged.
CMC priced
its IPO also in 2016 at 240 pence and saw shares lose roughly half their value
within months as the UK Financial Conduct Authority moved
against retail CFD providers. At the moment, they have posted the weakest
gains since their market debut among the entire group, at just over 50%.
From the 2018 KNF Crash to
2026 Highs
The XTB
share price journey has not been linear. In late 2018, after Poland’s Financial
Supervision Authority (KNF) fined
the broker 9.9 million zlotys for asymmetric price slippage on client
orders, the stock dropped two-thirds in two hours and trading was temporarily
halted. By September 2019, shares had bottomed at an all-time low of 2.92
zlotys.
The 2020
pandemic-era surge in retail trading kicked off the recovery. XTB reported
record quarterly revenue of 307 million zlotys in Q1 2020 alone, more than its
full-year 2019 total. Shares are now up roughly 35-fold from those 2019 lows.
The current
rally continued through April 2026 even after Polish regulators levied a record 20
million zloty penalty
for MiFID II breaches in client onboarding between January 2022 and September
2023. Shares hit their record 114 zlotys eight days after the fine was
disclosed.
Beyond CFDs as the Next
Decade Begins
Last week,
XTB published preliminary first-quarter 2026 results showing estimated net profit of 535
million zlotys, up 176% year-on-year, on operating income of 1.09 billion
zlotys. The broker added 370,000 new clients in the quarter.
Chief
Executive Omar Arnaout has flagged spot crypto trading and options as the next
product priorities, alongside continued geographic expansion in Latin America,
Indonesia and the UAE. He has separately said XTB is targeting two million
annual client additions in the coming years.
That
ambition is colliding with sharper European competition. Robinhood, Trade
Republic, eToro and Interactive Brokers have all stepped up European retail
moves over the past 18 months.
Plus500 and
IG have meanwhile pushed into US futures, prediction markets and
equity trading to
dilute their exposure to CFD revenue.

Are crypto payments really risky for brokers, or is the industry working with outdated assumptions?
In this exclusive Finance Magnates interview from iFX Expo International 2026, Adonis Adoni, News Editor at Finance Magnates, speaks with Andrey Kalashnikov, Head of Match2Pay, about how brokers can improve payment efficiency, reduce costs, and simplify crypto payment infrastructure.
The conversation explores why many firms are paying more than necessary by using multiple crypto providers, how one-click wallet integrations are improving the client deposit experience, and why stablecoins are changing the way finance teams view crypto payments.
In this interview you’ll learn:
– Why relying only on card payments could be limiting your business
– The hidden costs of using multiple crypto payment providers
– How one-click crypto payments improve conversion and user experience
– How Match2Pay enables integrations in as little as 24–48 hours
– Why stablecoins eliminate most volatility concerns for finance teams
– How blockchain analytics and AML screening help reduce payment risk
– What brokers should consider when choosing a crypto payment infrastructureKey Quote:
“It’s a mistake to completely rely on traditional payments and not look for alternative methods to optimize your payments.” — Andrey KalashnikovIf you’re a broker, payment provider, fintech executive, or compliance professional, this interview offers practical insights into the future of crypto payments.
