The 22% decline from May highs contrasts sharply with sector peers, including Plus500, which posted gains on strong trading updates.
Omar Arnaout, CEO of XTB
XTB shares
dropped 3.8% during Monday's trading session on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE:
XTB), hitting their lowest levels since April as the Polish online brokerage
extended its losing streak to five consecutive sessions.
XTB Extends Decline to
Five Sessions on Technical Break
The stock
fell below its 200-day exponential moving average of 64 zloty, a key technical
indicator that traders watch closely. XTB hasn't spent much time below this
level in recent years, with the last extended period occurring between August
and October 2023.
From this
year's May highs near 92 zloty, XTB shares have now declined roughly 22%,
breaking through two important support levels at 78 zloty and 73 zloty that
were established by local lows in June.

The selloff
appears isolated to XTB rather than reflecting broader sector weakness. Other
publicly traded CFD brokers posted gains Monday, with Plus500 rising 1.8% to
333.4 pence after releasing a trading update for the first half of 2025. CMC
Markets climbed 1.2% to 252 pence.
No clear
catalyst explains XTB's recent decline. The company hasn't released any new
reports, with its next earnings update scheduled for August covering
second-quarter and first-half 2025 results. Online discussions among retail
investors mention institutional capital flows, but no concrete developments
have emerged.
Analyst
coverage remains sparse, with the most recent recommendation coming from Polish
Nobel Securities on February 11, 2025, setting a target price of 70 zloty.
mBank took a more pessimistic view in late January, recommending a sell rating
with a target price just under 69 zloty.
The decline
comes despite XTB's continued product expansion efforts. FinanceMagnates.com
reported last week that the firm added IKZE retirement investment accounts to
its Polish offering. In mid-June, XTB increased the number of supported
cryptocurrencies in its e-wallet to 19, positioning itself to compete with
Revolut.
“We are entering a period that will be the first serious test for eWallet,” said Omar Arnaout, XTB's CEO. “The vacation time and foreign travel is a moment when our users will certainly use this solution more intensively.”
XTB
currently trades at 72.24 zloty, with a market capitalization of approximately
8.58 billion zloty. The stock has gained 86% in the past year but remains down
7.47% over the past week.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
