Avanza Q3 2026 slides: second-best profit amid customer surge

Avanza Bank reported a SEK 920 million operating profit for Q3 2026, marking the second-highest quarterly result in the company's history. The online broker added nearly 53,000 new customers and saw record fund inflows during the quarter. However, shares fell 3.03% to $359.90 in pre-market trading as investors considered near-term headwinds, such as compressed brokerage margins and lower deposit volumes.

The bank presented a quarter characterized by both growth and weaker trading activity, driven by lower market volatility. Despite these challenges, Avanza demonstrated strong financial performance, with a return on equity of 44% and an operating margin of 72%.
