Last month, Plus500 surprised the investing community by unveiling a buyback program. In a similar fashion, the firm reported an “outstanding performance” in the first half of the year.
“Plus500 delivered an outstanding performance during the first half of the year, driven by the strength and differentiation of our proprietary technology, which enabled our business and our customers to benefit from the unprecedented market volatility and event-driven market conditions experienced during the period”, chief executive David Zruia said in the results statement.

Plus500 share price is trading around 2% lower in London today, but still close to the all-time highs at 1572p.
