-- Bell Financial Group (ASX:BFG) reported unaudited net profit after tax (NPAT) of AU$16.3 million for the four months to April 30, up 197% year-on-year, with revenue rising 37% to AU$109.6 million, according to a Thursday filing with the Australian bourse.
Performance was driven by strong markets trading and deal activity, and continued platform growth, with a notable improvement as trading conditions recovered in the second half of 2025 after a weak first half, per the filing.
