Flow Traders/Point proved/HOLD

The Flow Traders' share price fell by 21% on the 1Q25 results in which management revealed that the April bout of market volatility is of significantly smaller scale (intensity and duration) than the pandemic induced VIX index spike. We review our earnings forecast and valuation, and come to the conclusion that Flow Traders is likely to deliver a through cycle RoE of c.15%.

In this report we highlight the key stocks in our coverage relevant to this discussion.
