$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The Market Still Misprices This Higher-Quality Fintech.
UP Fintech (TIGR) is still valued like a Chinese, cyclical retail broker when in fact the business has become a higher-quality fintech platform, with less than 15% of clients' AUM now coming from Mainland China.
FY25 results confirmed that TIGR's stellar results in Q3/25 were not a one-off but a structural shift, with revenue up 56.3% YoY to $612.1 million and non-GAAP net income up 164.7% YoY to $186.5 million for the year. Q4/25 wasn't another sequential breakout quarter but confirmed that TIGR can sustain strong earnings from a much larger base, with monetization now going way beyond commissions. Other revenues were up 220.6% in Q4/25 to $30.8 million, and interest income remained very high at $71.3 million.
This matters as it indicates that TIGR is no longer a speculative, transaction-driven broker. The revenue base is increasingly supported by rising client asset quality and a diversification of monetization, supported by rising client balances, margin financing, securities lending, wealth products, Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) administration, IPO underwriting, and crypto-related initiatives, making the business more resilient and scalable moving forward.
FY25 and Q4/25 confirmed that balances, monetization, and platform economics are scaling, yet the current valuation does not reflect that shift. We believe this disconnect should close sooner rather than later.
