BGC Group posts 9.4% Y/Y increase in FX revenues in Q2 2026
BGC Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:BGC) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
BGC generated record second quarter revenues of $845.5 million, up 7.8 percent, reflecting growth across all asset classes. EMEA and Americas grew revenues by 11.2 percent and 6.1 percent, respectively, while APAC revenues decreased by 2.9 percent.
Total brokerage revenues grew by 7.2 percent in the second quarter of 2026.
ECS revenues grew by 5.3 percent to $275.5 million, driven by strong growth across our shipping, environmental, and commodities businesses, partially offset by lower oil and refined product volumes due to disruptions caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure.
Rates revenues increased by 10.6 percent to $221.9 million, reflecting higher volumes across all major Rates products during the quarter.
Foreign Exchange revenues were up 9.4 percent to $118.7 million, primarily due to strong volume growth in emerging market and G10 products, and precious metals.
Equities revenues grew by 2.8 percent to $76.0 million, reflecting strong U.S. equities volumes, partially offset by lower European equity derivative activity.
Data, Network, and Post-trade revenues increased by 3.4 percent to $36.7 million, driven by Lucera and Fenics Market Data, partially offset by kACE, which BGC sold in the fourth quarter of 2025. Excluding kACE, revenues grew by 18.6 percent.
BGC announced on July 27, 2026 that it has partnered with Fanatics to build a prediction market ecosystem that serves both retail and institutional participants, combining BGC’s extensive client network and Fanatics’ database of over 100 million customers. BGC and Fanatics will deliver unique market data in this innovative and rapidly growing asset class. This partnership brings BGC’s established market data and analytics capabilities to enable the development of new data products that combine prediction market sentiment with traditional financial market data for clients around the world.
BGC sold its legacy CFTC-registered Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) to Fanatics. This is entirely separate from FMX’s CFTC-registered DCM, which BGC continues to own and control.
Interest and dividend income, Fees from related parties and Other revenues increased by 30.7 percent to $37.4 million driven by higher dividend income during the period, partially offset by lower interest income and other revenues.
Lucera, Fenics’ network business providing critical real-time trading infrastructure to the capital markets, grew revenues by 15 percent in the second quarter, led by continued momentum in its FX offering and the onboarding of several large new clients.

On July 29, 2026, BGC’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly qualified cash dividend of $0.02 per share payable on September 2, 2026 to Class A and Class B common stockholders of record as of August 19, 2026, which is the same date as the ex-dividend date.
Sean Windeatt, Co-Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“We produced revenues of $846 million, a second quarter record, up 8 percent versus last year. This growth was broad-based across every asset class, reflecting the durability, diversification, and strength of our global platform. Our revenues for the first half of 2026 were up more than 24 percent to $1.8 billion, the highest ever through the first two quarters of the year.
FMX once again saw market share gains across its cash U.S. Treasury and futures businesses. FMX UST market share grew to 42 percent, a new all-time high, and FMX SOFR and U.S. Treasury futures also reached new market share highs in June 2026.
Earlier this week, we announced our partnership with Fanatics, a global sports platform, to build a prediction market ecosystem serving both retail and institutional participants. Together, BGC and Fanatics will deliver unique market data across this innovative asset class, which we believe will create long-term shareholder value.”
