Israeli fintech firm eToro launches $150m buyback after slump
- ByStartupStory | November 11, 2025
Israeli fintech firm eToro has announced a $150 million share buyback program following a downturn in its stock price since its IPO six months ago. The buyback includes an initial accelerated tranche of approximately $50 million. This move comes after eToro reported strong third-quarter 2025 financial results, including a 76% increase in assets under administration to $20.8 billion, a 28% rise in net contribution to $215 million, and a 43% year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA to $78 million. The share repurchase plan is intended to boost earnings per share (EPS) and signal management’s confidence in the company’s long-term growth prospects, aiming to lift the slumping stock and create shareholder value.
eToro CEO Yoni Assia emphasized the company’s focus on executing its strategy across trading, investing, wealth management, and neo-banking pillars, with new product developments in AI and crypto. The buyback reflects confidence in eToro’s fundamentals and is balanced with ongoing investments in growth areas. Despite strong quarterly earnings, investor skepticism has persisted, prompting this buyback to reinforce shareholder trust and stabilize the stock performance.
In addition to the buyback, eToro’s board highlighted continued growth in funded accounts, which rose 16% year-over-year to 3.73 million, and product expansion including AI tools and U.S. Copy Trading features. The program supports eToro’s broader strategy to remain competitive globally and capitalize on macroeconomic tailwinds in fintech and digital assets.
This share repurchase initiative is a strategic response to market conditions, reflecting both recent robust financial performance and the need to address stock valuation concerns post-IPO.
