One of the biggest online Stock Brokers in the U.S.,TD Ameritrade Holding Corp (NYSE: AMTD), has released its results for the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Overall, the Omaha-based company was down against Q2 results, but showed steady YoY growth.

Commenting on the results, Fred Tomczyk, President and Chief Executive Office, said, “As we complete our third quarter and look back on the last nine months, we remain upbeat about our growth and prospects for another strong year.”

“We continue to execute well against our growth strategy, with $47 billion in net new client assets gathered year-to-date, an organic growth rate of 10 percent and up 17 percent over last year. Likewise, average client trades per day, year-to-date, are 456,000, up 5 percent over last year. This leaves us with good momentum, and we will continue to invest in organic growth initiatives.”

Bill Gerber, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added: “Net revenues were up 4 percent from last year, driven by continued growth in trading and asset gathering. Year-to-date, earnings per share of $1.09 were up 5 percent, despite a continued difficult macroeconomic environment.”
