Business Overview

Binah Capital Group is a financial services platform operating in wealth management. It supports independent and affiliated financial advisors with brokerage services, investment advisory, and related technology. The business model centers on providing a flexible platform for nearly 1,900 registered representatives across ten subsidiary firms, allowing advisors to choose independent, hybrid, or W2 arrangements.

Recently, the company’s core focus has been growing its network of advisors, expanding assets under management (AUM), and advancing its technology platform. Key success factors for Binah’s business include its adaptable operating models, strategic technology integration, and maintaining strong compliance given the industry’s regulatory environment. Attracting and retaining skilled advisors and scaling operations continue to be central to its growth strategy.

Financial and Operational Performance During the Quarter

Revenue increased 2% year-over-year in Q2 2025, reflecting sustained activity from both commissions and advisory fees. Total AUM — a key metric indicating the amount of client assets managed or overseen by the firm — accelerated 11% year-over-year to $28 billion.

Gross profit grew 21% in Q2 2025. This was achieved even as operating expenses remained flat versus the prior year. Employee compensation and benefits grew 37% year-over-year to $4.9 million in Q2 2025.

While EBITDA (non-GAAP) improved 66.7% year-over-year to $1.0 million in Q2 2025 the company continued to report a GAAP net loss of $0.7 million. This mirrored results from the same quarter last year. Cash and equivalents were $8.2 million, slightly below the previous period.

There were no disclosed one-time events, significant acquisitions, or advisor headcount updates in this earnings release. However, management provided no new data on those activities for the quarter. Long-term debt and mezzanine equity saw only marginal changes, showing a broadly stable balance sheet.

Business Areas, Products, and Competitive Positioning

Binah’s core offering is its advisor-centric platform, supporting both commission-based and fee-based advisory business models. This hybrid-friendly structure lets financial advisors tailor their client offerings, combining brokerage services with investment advisory, which caters to a wider range of client and advisor needs.

The company has prioritized flexibility in advisor affiliation, seeking to differentiate itself in a competitive wealth management sector. Its network of broker-dealers and affiliated investment advisors collectively provides a national footprint, with scale enhanced by open-architecture platforms and technology investments.

No new product launches or service offerings were disclosed for the period. However, expenses related to technology integration increased.

Compliance and regulatory requirements also remain central for Binah. As with most wealth management companies, adherence to complex rules set by regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is integral. The company’s management made ongoing reference to the need for rigorous compliance, noting these represent both ongoing obligations and risk factors for its business model.

Looking Forward

Binah Capital Group did not provide specific forward guidance for the next quarter or for fiscal 2025. Management highlighted optimism about the company’s differentiated business model and the opportunities present in the wealth management industry, but did not lay out quantifiable goals or expectations for revenues, margins, or advisor growth.

Without new guidance, trends relating to advisor recruitment, acquisition activity, and technology spending—as well as any changes to the firm’s compliance posture—remain important factors to watch in upcoming periods.

And if you're in retirement, dividend stocks provide a reliable income stream that you can use for monthly bills, all the while reducing the amount that you're withdrawing from your account for basic living expenses.

Of course, finding the best dividend stocks can sometimes be challenging. For this exercise, I used a stock screener to help me narrow the field. Because I wanted established companies, I limited the screen to companies with a market capitalization of $1 billion or more. Then I screened for companies reporting revenue growth of at least 20% and a year-to-date increase of at least 10% in price. Finally and most importantly, I limited the screen to stocks that pay a dividend yield of at least 1.75%.

Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD), Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG), and Equitable Holdings (NYSE: EQH) are among the top names that I found. And best of all, you can own a share of each of them for just $200 total.

Toronto-Dominion Bank

Toronto-Dominion Bank is the parent company of TD Bank, which in the U.S. operates from the Northeast to Florida. The bank is one of the biggest in Canada and the sixth-largest in North America by assets, and has nearly 28 million customers.

Earnings for the second quarter were CA$22.9 billion ($16.7 billion), up a whopping 66% on a year-to-date basis thanks to the company's sale of its 10% stake of Charles Schwab for $14.6 billion. The transaction came after TD Bank undertook a strategic review following a $3.1 billion fine it paid in 2024 in a money laundering investigation that also saw U.S. regulators impose an asset cap of $434 billion that restricts future growth in the U.S.

For shareholders, the money laundering fine was a disaster, but the company is on its way to recovery. It took CA$8 billion ($5.9 billion) from the Schwab sale for a stock buyback campaign that solidified TD Bank's stock price. The stock is up 39% so far this year, rising sharply since April, and 14 of 16 analysts who cover the stock on Yahoo! Finance have either a buy or hold recommendation.

Investors can also take comfort in knowing that Toronto-Dominion stock provides a 4.1% dividend yield and still trades 13% off its all-time high. So there's still plenty of room for growth.

Carlyle Group

Carlyle Group is a global investment firm that had $453 billion of assets under management at the end of Q1, up 6% from a year ago.

The company manages investments through private equity funds, assets, and by investing (or buying) companies that it can improve and sell for a profit or run efficiently. Carlyle has a record of investing in more than 20,000 companies since its founding, and it currently has more than 425 active investments.

Revenue in Q1 was $973.1 million, up from $688.4 million a year ago. Net income was $130 million, which was nearly double from the $65.1 million the company posted in 2024's Q1. Carlyle Group also pays a dividend yield of 2.7%. The stock is up 16% so far this year.

Equitable Holdings

Equitable is a New York-based insurance and financial services company that works with individuals and small businesses. The company says it has more than 3 million clients and just over $1 billion in assets under management, up from $975 million a year ago.

It has a primary focus on retirement planning. Its insurance portfolio focuses on full life and term life policies, as well as long-term care. It also has asset management and wealth management products. Equitable stock is up 13% so far this year and provides a dividend of 1.7%.
