Risk Analysis
Outlook
With a 50-basis point rate rise, the corporation is predicted to generate an additional USD 175 million per year, and with the Fed likely to raise rates eight times, each subsequent 25 basis point will yield an additional USD 25 million. For the coming year, the accounts growth rate is predicted to be over 30% and the business wants to reach 10 million deals every day. With the company's continued development in client services and expansion of operational locations, fixed expenditures are likely to rise by roughly 15%. Finally, the company's operating margins are predicted to stay in the mid-60s in 2022.
Valuation Methodology: Price/Earnings Per Share Multiple Based Relative Valuation
Source: Analysis by Kalkine Group
*% Premium/(Discount) is based on our assessment of the company's FY1 trading multiple after considering its key growth drivers, economic moat, stock's historical trading multiples versus peer average/median, and investment risks.
Stock Recommendation
Over the past six months, IBKR's share price has corrected by 26.90%. The stock is currently leaning towards the lower end of its 52-week range of USD 52.18 to USD 82.83. We have valued the stock using the Price/Earnings multiple-based relative valuation method and arrived at a target price of USD 68.14. We believe that the company is trading at a discount from its peer's average, considering its fall in revenue and profitability for the Q1 FY22, but strong fundamentals, competitive advantages in profitability margins, and a good cash position give bullish estimates for the upcoming near future. We have taken peers like Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Morgan Stanley, and Charles Schwab Corp for the evaluation of the intrinsic value.
Considering the strong fundamentals, robust margins, dividend yield, positive outlook, associated risks, and current valuation, we give a "Buy" recommendation on the stock at the closing price of USD 54.04 as of 18th May 2022.
