For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, Freedom Holding Corp. reported revenues of $655.2 million, a 57% increase ($236.6 million), over the same period last year. The growth was driven by higher insurance underwriting income and net gains on trading securities.
The results coincided with a surge in the company's market capitalisation: shares of Freedom Holding Corp., traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market, closed at $149.61 on February 6, taking the company's valuation to an all-time high. Over the past year, the company's market cap increased by 85%, and its share price has more than tenfolded since its Nasdaq debut in October 2019.
Freedom Holding Corp. now serves 618,000 retail brokerage, 1.4 million banking, and 972,000 insurance customers, reflecting strong expansion across key segments.
„These milestones not only underscore the success of our strategy but also highlight our growing prominence in the global financial services sector. They are a testament to our team's commitment to innovation and excellence, and they reaffirm our determination to provide world-class financial solutions to our clients worldwide,” states Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Holding Corp.
Freedom24 is rapidly expanding its retail investor base in Romania
The Freedom24 platform continues to attract a growing number of retail investors, driving its rapid expansion across Europe.

We are seeing a strong interest in financial investments, especially among younger generations. We want to increase awareness of the opportunities Freedom24 offers - access to global investment products, and tools designed for both beginners and experienced investors. We also emphasize the safety of our trading platform, which is developed in-house, and our solid, transparent infrastructure,” states Olga Milko, Business Development Director at Freedom24.
