eToro Isn’t Feeling the Crypto Love. Should You Buy the Dip in ETOR Stock?

Shares of eToro Group (ETOR) pulled back following the company’s first earnings report as a publicly traded firm. The Tel Aviv-based trading and investing platform went public in May at a $4.2 billion valuation, only to see its stock slide 8% post-earnings, leaving its market cap closer to $4 billion. Investors appear cautious despite solid fundamentals, including a 54% year-over-year (YOY) jump in assets under administration (AUA) to $17.5 billion and steady growth in funded accounts.

The reaction comes at a time when crypto markets remain volatile, even as trading platforms like eToro post strong activity. Crypto revenue rose to $1.9 billion in Q2, up roughly $300 million YOY, highlighting the company’s exposure to digital assets. With the stock now trading at the lower end of its 52-week range, the question for investors is whether this dip represents a buying opportunity.

About eToro Stock

Established in 2007, eToro runs a multi-asset investment platform across equities, ETFs, cryptocurrencies, and wealth solutions. Based in Tel Aviv, it has an expanding presence across the world, including a new base in Singapore. eToro provides services to more than 3.6 million funded accounts. eToro's market capitalization stands at close to $4 billion since it issued its IPO earlier in the year.

ETOR stock has ranged from $46.03 to $79.96 since its debut, and the stock most recently closed at $48.14. It’s a sharp fall from the $6 billion market capitalization it touched in its first-day trade, and the stock is off close to 17% just in the last week. As a point of comparison, the S&P 500 Index (SPY) is higher by roughly 25% over the last year, a reflection of ETOR’s underperformance against the general market.

On a valuation basis, eToro commands a forward price-earnings (P/E) ratio of 21.34 and a price-sales ratio of 0.31. As the P/E seems reasonable for a growth fintech, the razor-thin profit margin of 1.53% and the absence of a trailing P/E do make me question the durability of earnings. The price-to-sales (P/S) ratio, though, is very low, which in itself indicates the doubt the market may have regarding its longer-term growth profile if it can continue scaling its profit profile. eToro doesn't pay a dividend at this time, and based on its priority for reinvestment in growth, income investors shouldn't look for it in the near term.

Story Continues## eToro Beats on Earnings

In Q2 2025, eToro's adjusted net income was $54.2 million, compared with $44.2 million in the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 31% YOY to $72 million, mainly due to increased revenue and controlled costs. Net contribution increased 26% to $210 million, underpinned by higher trading activity across asset classes.

Management emphasized product innovation as a key driver, citing the launch of 24/5 U.S. equity trading, expanded crypto coverage, and new tokenization initiatives for stocks, ETFs, and futures. The company also rolled out AI-powered Smart Portfolios and “Tori,” its in-platform AI analyst. These developments aim to deepen engagement and create differentiation from peers.

Direction for the rest of 2025 is a vote of confidence, led off by CEO Yoni Assia in terms of growth in long-duration portfolios through a partnership with Franklin Templeton (BEN), moves into French savings products, and scaling in Asia from its Singapore headquarters. Nonetheless, GAAP net income dipped slightly year-over-year because of IPO-related expenses, a reminder of near-term execution risks.

What Do Analysts Expect for ETOR Stock?

Wall Street’s sentiment towards eToro is still positive, and analysts have a “Moderate Buy” rating consensus. Its average target price stands at $68.53, suggesting a 42% upside from current values. Estimates vary significantly, from a bottom of $53 to a top of $85, reflecting skepticism about the sustainability of crypto-led growth. Management success in its tokenization and AI roadmap while increasing profit margins provides grounds for substantial upside from current lows, according to analysts. Investors willing to make a contrarian bet in the face of a resurgence in digital asset interest and fintech innovation development can look at ETOR stock in the meantime.
