(News Bulletin 247) – Bourse Direct reported lower results for the 2022 financial year on Friday as part of a ‘normalization’ of its activity due to the effects of the attenuation of the Covid epidemic.

Its consolidated operating profit was 7.8 million euros last year, compared to 10 million euros in 2021, a decrease of 21.8% on the basis of net banking income in up 5.9% to 42.3 million euros.

Consolidated net income was €5.9 million, compared to €7.2 million in 2021.

In its press release, the online broker indicates that the number of orders executed stood at 5.2 million for direct customers, compared to 6.1 million in 2021.

This decline is part of a context of a general decline in volumes processed on all European markets in 2022, he said in a press release.

However, the number of new customers recruited remained strong, with nearly 280,000 accounts recorded at the end of 2022, with a marked acceleration in the recruitment of new accounts at the start of 2023.

Regarding 2023, the group believes that the context of rising rates observed since the middle of 2022 is favorable to its activity and that it will have a positive impact on its results this year.
