12 January 2023: Starling expects profits to quadruple as CEO says crypto lacks "moral purpose’" Starling Bank is expecting to increase its pre-tax profits by more than four times in its upcoming annual financial results. The digital bank said it “generated annualised pre-tax profits of more than £250m on the back of almost £600m of annualised revenue for the month of December 2022”.
Anne Boden, Starling’s CEO, has announced that the digital bank expects to go public within the next two years. It’s likely to go live on the London Stock Exchange, as the company is headquartered in London.
Starling is a leading challenger bank, going up against Monzo and Revolut, which are both also rumoured to be planning IPOs. We don’t yet know what the valuation of the company would be or the ticker symbol.
Once Starling goes public, you'll need a brokerage account to invest. Consider opening a brokerage account today so you're ready as soon as the stock hits the market.

It's impossible to predict how any stock will perform — and IPOs can be particularly volatile. But evaluating the performance of companies like Starling can be useful in determining how the market is performing and whether now is a good time to invest in this industry. Select a company to learn more about what they do and how their stock performs, including market capitalization, the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio and dividend yield. While this list includes a selection of the most well-known and popular stocks, it doesn't include every stock available.
All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
