1 Unstoppable Growth Stock That Could Soar if a Bear Market Is Coming
This company benefits during periods of heightened volatility in the stock market.
Overview
The stock market has experienced significant volatility this year, as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, rising inflation, concerns about potential interest rate hikes, and elevated valuations have set investors on edge. As a result, the S&P 500 is down 3% from its recent record high at recent prices, while the Nasdaq-100 is down by 9%.
But some companies benefit from heightened volatility, and Interactive Brokers (NASDAQ: IBKR), which operates the world's largest digital platform for investing in stocks, options, futures, cryptocurrency, and more, is one of them. It just reported stellar operating results for the second quarter of 2026 (ended June 30), showing a sharp acceleration in revenue growth.
Details
With major catalysts like U.S. midterm congressional elections coming up in November, the stock market is likely to remain somewhat unsettled. But even if the indexes extend their recent declines to 20%, which would constitute a technical bear market, here's why I think Interactive stock will still trend higher.
