• BGC Group Inc (NASDAQ:BGC) reported record third-quarter revenues of $737 million, a 31% increase from the previous year.

• The company achieved significant growth across all asset classes and geographies, demonstrating the strength of its global platform.

• FMX outperformed with record-setting volumes in futures and US Treasuries, with US Treasury market share reaching an all-time high of 37%.

• The $25 million cost reduction program is on track to be completed by year-end, expected to enhance profitability and margins.

• BGC Group Inc (NASDAQ:BGC) saw a 114% increase in ECS revenues, driven by OTC and strong organic growth in the energy complex.

• Compensation and employee benefits expenses increased significantly by 47.5% under GAAP, impacting overall profitability.

• Non-compensation expenses also rose by 20.9% under GAAP, primarily due to the acquisition of OTC.

• Electronic credit revenues showed minimal growth, up only 1.6%, indicating potential challenges in this segment.

• The company faces ongoing risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements and actual results.

• Despite strong growth, the company remains exposed to macroeconomic, social, and political factors that could impact future performance.

Q: In the 3rd quarter, we saw on-exchange volumes in some asset classes slow down significantly. Your results, though, were quite strong. What allowed BGC to outperform some of those industry proxies? A: Unidentified_4: The growth was driven by targeted expansion within the ECS sector, with a 21% growth excluding OTC. This was supported by hiring 150 new brokers over the last 18 months, which helped us take market share in specific geographies and asset classes.

Q: Could you elaborate on the strong growth in FMX and your expectations for FCM onboardings in the coming quarters? A: Unidentified_7: We are in the second year of FMX, having achieved record open interest and onboarded 11 FCMs. We are on track with our goals, and the focus is now on integrating FMX into aggregators and smart order routers. We expect to shift attention to US Treasury futures in 2026.

Q: Can you walk us through the strong share growth in your FMX cash markets? What would you attribute that to? A: Unidentified_4: The growth in market share, particularly in treasuries, is due to the adoption by FMX partners and the platform becoming a viable alternative to CME. The growth is broad-based across different protocols.

Q: How much leverage does your energy segment have to higher adoption of cloud and artificial intelligence going forward? A: Unidentified_3: While revenue impact is not significant, our energy procurement business benefits from Newmark’s data center connections, allowing us to procure energy for these centers, thus increasing our involvement in the sector.

Q: Electronic credit revenues are flattish year-to-date. Can you talk about what you’re seeing in that business and its growth potential compared to Trade Web or Market Access? A: Unidentified_3: We believe we can grow at similar rates to Trade Web or Market Access. We are launching new electronic protocols and gaining market share, which will accelerate growth as electronic offerings become a larger part of our credit business.

• One Stop Systems Inc (NASDAQ:OSS) reported a significant 36.9% year-over-year increase in consolidated revenue for Q3 2025.

• The company achieved positive quarterly EBITDA and GAAP net income, reflecting strong operational execution.

• OSS’s strategic actions, including leadership strengthening and a multi-year strategic plan, have led to improved financial and operating results.

• The company has a strong pipeline and customer engagement activities across both defense and commercial markets.

• OSS raised its full-year 2025 consolidated revenue guidance to $63 million to $65 million, indicating confidence in continued growth.

• The ongoing government shutdown may impact the timing of near-term bookings, affecting revenue recognition.

• There is expected quarter-to-quarter variability in bookings, which could lead to fluctuations in financial performance.

• The company experienced a 22% increase in operating expenses, primarily due to higher R&D expenditures.

• OSS’s European markets, served by the Bresner segment, have not fully recovered to growth expectations.

• The timing of shipments and cash flow remains uncertain, potentially affecting financial stability in the short term.

Q: How should investors think about the seasonality going forward for core OSS in light of the strong bookings execution and the government shutdown? A: Typically, OSS sees higher revenues in the second half of the year due to the timing of bookings, especially as the government approaches the holiday period. This pattern is expected to continue into 2026, albeit with a moderated ramp compared to 2025. The government shutdown may affect the timing of bookings, but OSS has sufficient backlog to meet its 2025 guidance.

Q: Can you update us on the data center market opportunity and the advancements you’re making? A: OSS has launched Ponto, a larger version of its GPU expansion solution, which is under evaluation by several customers in the data center market. The company is also introducing new technologies like PCI Gen 6 to enhance its offerings. On the army situational awareness side, testing continues, although the government shutdown has stalled some evaluations.

Q: What was behind the strong performance of the Bresner segment, and what are the expectations for the final quarter of the year? A: Bresner’s strong performance was driven by recovery in industrial markets and favorable FX impacts. The segment grew by $2.3 million, with $600,000 due to FX. For the fourth quarter, Bresner is expected to perform similarly to the third quarter, with some shipments potentially impacting the timing of revenue recognition.

Q: How is the company planning to deploy the $12.5 million raised from the registered direct offering? A: The cash raised will support working capital needs during the growth phase, particularly in accounts receivable. OSS expects positive cash flow in Q4 and plans to use the funds for a disciplined M&A strategy in 2026.

Q: Given the government shutdown, what is the current status of operations with government entities, and how does it affect the backlog? A: Major government organizations are currently shut down, affecting contract awards and deliveries. However, OSS can still operate with third-party services and expects to make deliveries and receive payments for existing contracts. The company has sufficient backlog to cover the first half of next year, and as long as bookings resume by the end of Q2 2026, revenue conversion should remain on track.
