Net trading revenues totalled £238.4m over the three months to 31 May, down 2% year-on-year and 7% lower than the preceding quarter, due to lower trading activity in "less supportive market conditions", IG Group said on Thursday.

Meanwhile, net interest income dropped 20% from last year to £29.5m, reflecting lower interest rates and greater pass-through to customers.

As a result, total revenues were down 4% at £267.9m, falling 7% on an organic basis.

On a positive note, average monthly active customers were 3% above last year on an organic basis against what IG said was a tough prior-year comparative. Notably, first trades were up 42% due to increased marketing activity and measures to close product gaps and simplify propositions.

Looking ahead, IG said: "The group continues to expect FY26 performance in line with market expectations for total revenue and cash EPS."

Shares were down 0.9% at 1,054p in early deals on Thursday.
