However, the brokerage improved on all metrics when compared year-over-year.

Its pre-tax income also jumped to $987 million from the previous year’s corresponding quarter’s $840 million. However, it missed the earnings estimates, resulting in a decline in its stock in after-hours trading.
Street Estimation Miss Costs Heavily
For the third quarter, the online broker delivered earnings per share of $1.81, an improvement from the previous year’s $1.56. Considering the adjusted figures, the EPS improved to $1.75 from $1.55. Wall Street was expecting the broker to turn an EPS of $1.82 on revenue of $1.337 billion, according to FactSet.

Income Jumped, But Were Expenses
According to the official figures published yesterday (Tuesday), the brokerage operator's commission revenue increased by 31 percent to $435 million due to higher customer trading volumes. The figures highlighted that the trading volumes of options, stocks, and futures jumped by 35 percent, 22 percent, and 13 percent, respectively.
Furthermore, the company's net interest income also increased by 9 percent to $802 million, boosted by higher customer margin loans and customer credit balances.
