Interactive Brokers: Automated, Low-Cost, High-Margin Business

Stefan Ćulibrk of Highway One Asset Management presented his in-depth investment thesis on Interactive Brokers (US: IBKR) at Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2020.

Thesis summary:

Interactive Brokers is a low-cost, high margin, electronic brokerage business. IBKR’s clients are individuals, financial advisors, introducing brokers, hedge funds, and proprietary trading firms. IBKR offers attractive rates on margin loans, deposits, and low commissions to its global client base. Most of the company’s revenue comes from interest income collected on client assets. Thomas Peterffy owns 73% of the company he founded in the late 1970s. The company is conservatively financed, carrying billions more than the regulator is asking for, and multiples more than peers.

Stefan expects IBKR to double the number of accounts, client equity, and earnings power over the next five years. A normalization of interest rates should turn earnings power into cash flow.
