Panmure Liberum defends Plus500 after a sector sell-off triggered by IG Group's warning, maintaining a 'buy' rating and a 5,400p target. Plus500 confirmed trading in line with expectations for 2026 and holds a strong cash position, unlike IG whose revenue guidance was lowered due to customer income retention changes. The broker highlights Plus500's solid risk management and stable trading income, projecting revenue of $825.9 million and EBITDA of $345.7 million for 2026. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.8 and net cash making up 26% of market cap, Panmure Liberum views the current weakness as a buying opportunity ahead of Plus500's Q3 update due in late October.
