XTB shares touched an all-time high of 97.97 zlotys on Tuesday after the Polish broker launched options trading in Germany and Spain.
The stock rose 2%, breaking the previous record of 96.94 zlotys set on March 10.
Clients in both countries can now trade American-style options on 110 U.S. stocks and ETFs, including zero-days-to-expiry contracts. Fractional options are also available.

“We’ll keep expanding options to more European markets,” CEO Omar Arnaout said.

The company’s May 8 shareholder meeting will vote on an employee bonus plan and a proposed dividend of 4.07 zlotys per share.
