Intercontinental Exchange posts volume growth. Intercontinental Exchange stock sits below its high

Intercontinental Exchange stock was trading at EUR 137.00 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. CEST, plus 0.49 percent versus the prior close of EUR 136.33. On October 5, 2026, Intercontinental Exchange reported a 51.00 percent year-over-year increase in September average daily volume.

September volume accelerates

The latest monthly figures point to broad-based activity across ICE's markets. Open interest rose 13.00 percent year over year in September, while total energy average daily volume increased 26.00 percent and total agriculture and metals volume climbed 44.00 percent, according to the company release.

Financial products supplied the strongest lift. Total financials average daily volume rose 81.00 percent year over year, with interest-rate volume up 95.00 percent and Euribor volume up 84.00 percent. The figures give investors a more useful signal than a single headline number because they show demand across both commodity and rates contracts.

Third-quarter activity stays strong

ICE also reported third-quarter total average daily volume up 31.00 percent year over year. Total financials volume increased 45.00 percent, total agriculture and metals volume rose 57.00 percent, and total energy volume gained 18.00 percent in the quarter.

The mix matters for the earnings profile. Higher trading activity can support transaction revenue, while the 31.00 percent quarterly increase shows that the September acceleration was part of a broader quarter rather than an isolated monthly move. ICE's exchange, clearing, data and mortgage technology businesses give the company several revenue channels, but the latest release is most directly tied to its markets operation.

Stock remains below yearly high

The primary listing is NYSE under ticker ICE. A primary-market quote stood at USD 153.49 on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, while the 52-week range was USD 121.79 to USD 176.05. The price was 12.81 percent below the high, leaving the chart context less extended than the daily euro quote alone suggests.

MarketBeat reported that adjusted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026 were USD 1.90 versus a USD 1.84 consensus estimate, while revenue rose 4.80 percent year over year to USD 3.61 billion. The result adds an earnings comparison to the volume data, although the monthly statistics remain the fresher operating indicator.
