revenue growth — revenue growth — Euronext reported a significant rise in revenue during the first quarter of 2026, marking a 15.3 per cent increase. The pan-European exchange operator’s total income reached €528.5 million, reflecting robust corporate performance.
The group also demonstrated impressive profitability, with net profits soaring by 16.7 per cent to €192.3 million. This positive outcome has directly benefited shareholders, pushing earnings per share up by 17.3 per cent to €1.90.
The financial uplift was notably supported by the operational contributions of Euronext Athens and the corporate administrative unit Admincontrol. Revenue from capital markets and data solutions divisions rose to €185.9 million, an 18.2 per cent increase compared to the previous year.
Euronext’s executives attributed this growth to successful commercial expansion and strong volume adjustments across primary listings and advanced data analytics platforms. The trading activity within core equity market platforms was particularly remarkable, with total revenues increasing by 28.1 per cent to €138.9 million.
This surge in revenue was largely driven by heightened global market volatility and an effective fee collection mechanism. The equity results were further enhanced by the growing commercial momentum in the Greek domestic market and ongoing growth in various exchange-traded fund products.
Stéphane Boujnah, chief executive and chairman of the managing board at Euronext, remarked, “The first quarter of 2026 was another demonstration of the strength of our diversified business model.” He highlighted that this marks the eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, illustrating how Euronext has realised its vision of integrated European markets.
“Euronext is now at the forefront to capture growth trends in Europe,” Boujnah added, emphasising the significance of every new product in reinforcing the relevance of their unified platform across the industry.
