FY 2025 net income was USD 246.9 million (-9.9%), with diluted EPS of USD 6.64 (-8.8%); the effective tax rate was 32.7% (up from 24.0%), with the increase attributed to a reserve for unrecognized tax benefits established in 2025.

MarketAxess said its credit average variable transaction fee per million decreased 7.6% to USD 138.87, mainly due to protocol mix-shift reflecting increased portfolio trading; rates average variable transaction fee per million was USD 4.28 (-2.5%). The company reported estimated FY 2025 U.S. high-grade market share of 18.4% (down from 19.0%) and U.S. high-yield market share of 12.5% (down from 13.2%). Business and product updates cited for 2025 included continued rollout of Targeted RFQ (an AI-driven dealer selection tool), expansion of its sessions-based Mid-X offering to emerging market bonds, and continued growth in automated and algorithmic trading solutions. MarketAxess also noted the May 2025 RFQ-hub acquisition, which began contributing derivative and ETF commissions from that point. On capital returns, MarketAxess entered a USD 300.0 million accelerated share repurchase in December 2025 and said it had USD 205.0 million remaining repurchase capacity as of December 31, 2025.
