Deutsche Börse stock trades at EUR 287.45 as outlook improves

Deutsche Börse (ISIN DE0005810055) was trading at EUR 287.45 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026, up 0.05 percent versus the prior close of EUR 287.30. The exchange operator has raised its 2026 outlook after a strong first half, with the treasury result now expected to exceed EUR 0.7 billion.

First half raises the bar

According to Yahoo Finance in the Q2 2026 earnings call, first-half net revenue excluding the treasury result grew 11 percent, while EBITDA on the same basis increased 16 percent. The overall EBITDA margin expanded to 61 percent, and net profit attributable to Deutsche Börse shareholders rose 12 percent to EUR 1.2 billion.

Cash earnings per share also increased 12 percent to EUR 6.73 in the first half of 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The comparison matters because the company delivered that growth after the exceptional volatility boost seen in the first quarter had normalized.

Guidance exceeds EUR 6.4 billion

Management now expects total 2026 net revenue to exceed EUR 6.4 billion and all-in EBITDA to exceed EUR 3.8 billion. Core guidance excluding the treasury result remains EUR 5.7 billion of net revenue and EUR 3.1 billion of EBITDA, as reported in the Yahoo Finance transcript.

The operating mix provides the main support for that outlook. In the second quarter, financial derivatives revenue excluding the treasury result grew 15 percent, while fund services revenue rose 14 percent and security services revenue increased 16 percent, according to the same Q2 discussion.
