E*Trade Financial

(NYSE: ET)

USA

E*Trade may have missed out on its biggest deal, but the ones it did close worked out just fine. Rebuffed in a bid to acquire TD Ameritrade, New York-based E*Trade turned its purchases of smaller online brokers Brownco and HarrisDirect into gold. International trading and options markets generated fat commission growth, and interest income rose 50% in the first quarter as E*Trade kept cross-selling banking and trading services. Add in cost savings from the mergers, and management is promising operating margins this year in excess of 40%. Those memories of the dot-com crash and outrage over ex-CEO Christos Cotsakos' huge compensation recede further every year.
