Baader Bank Reports Strong 2024 Earnings and Predicts Stable 2025 Performance

Baader Bank announced a significant increase in its consolidated earnings for 2024, reporting earnings before taxes of EUR 40.2 million and a consolidated return on equity after taxes of 14.2%. The growth was fueled by a 47% increase in customer assets to EUR 46.7 billion and a 34% rise in managed accounts, totaling 1,708,000. Revenue from trading activities soared to EUR 66.7 million, bolstered by higher market participation and a robust trading performance.

Despite these strong results, Baader Bank predicts a slightly lower pre-tax result for 2025 due to market volatility and changing competitive dynamics. The bank's B2B cooperation business saw further optimization with extended agreements and new partnerships, contributing to ongoing diversification.

Operating costs rose, driven by investments in IT infrastructure and strategic projects. With a strengthened capital base of EUR 189.4 million, Baader Bank remains poised for continued growth.
