eToro Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ETOR) is one of the Jim Cramer Discusses US-China Trade War & These 10 Stocks.
eToro Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ETOR) is an Israeli company that owns and operates a trading platform. It is part of a handful of stocks that belong to companies that allow retail traders to invest in stocks and other assets. The shares have lost 11% year-to-date after they gained 21% in June only to lose 17% over the next couple of days. Cramer has discussed eToro Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ETOR) several times this year. The shares were listed for trading in mid-May, and in his previous comments, Cramer shared that eToro Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ETOR) is the only trading platform stock he’d consider apart from Robinhood. Of course, Robinhood remains his top trading stock pick. This time around, the CNBC TV host remarked on younger people buying the stock:
“Carl when I talk to younger people, after they mention NVIDIA, they say took the NVIDIA money. . .And did you see eToro?”
On the same day, Cramer discussed eToro Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ETOR) in detail in Mad Money:
“Alright, about a month later… another really popular trading platform, this one’s called eToro, debuted on the Nasdaq with a traditional IPO, and the market lapped it up… So, how do these three brokerages, the platforms, stack up against each other? First, let’s take scale because scale is often what dictates what’s going to win in a brokerage area. At the end of the first quarter… eToro had just 3.58 million funded accounts with 14.8 billion in assets under administration… Webull and eToro are roughly the same size… Now, what about the financials? We just want to look at revenue growth and some measures of profitability. But comparing the three companies… is surprisingly challenging because they all use different key metrics… But for eToro, we have to use the company’s net contribution, which is similar to the net revenue numbers from the other two… eToro has slower growth but much better profitability than Webull…
And for eToro, what we see is a big improvement in the financial results last year, especially on the profitability front, which makes sense as the company has said outright that it’s changed the strategy after its failed deal to come public a few years ago. In the first quarter of this year, though revenue growth slowed significantly and the company’s profitability even regressed…

Now this, eToro, the obvious number two, profitability is nearly as good as Robinhood’s, even if the growth is slower… So Robin and eToro are the only two I’d even consider. Robin has a better business, but eToro has a much cheaper stock, selling for 27 times this year’s earnings estimates, basically half of Robinhood’s valuation of 55 times earnings… On the other hand, eToro got pulverized today after it reported what I thought was a good quarter, in part because the stock had already run up dramatically from where it came public.”
While we acknowledge the potential of ETOR as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
