What Euronext does

Euronext N.V. is the largest pan-European stock exchange group, operating eight regulated exchanges (Amsterdam, Athens, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo, Paris) under a unified federal model. Founded in 2000 from the merger of the Amsterdam, Brussels, and Paris exchanges and headquartered in Amsterdam with its primary listing on Euronext Paris (ticker ENX), the company hosts 1,800+ listed issuers representing €7 trillion in combined market capitalisation and joined the CAC 40 index in September 2025.

The company operates an integrated market infrastructure stack spanning the full trade lifecycle. The proprietary Optiq trading platform powers execution across equities, derivatives, fixed income, commodities, and FX; Euronext Clearing provides central counterparty clearing (including for the newly migrated 173 TWh Nordic power futures book); and Euronext Securities operates the central securities depository network across Copenhagen, Milan, Oslo, Porto, and Athens. Adjacent product lines include Euronext Data (real-time and historical market data), 1,800+ Euronext Indices (CAC 40, AEX, MIB ESG, low-carbon benchmarks), Euronext Corporate Solutions (SaaS governance via the Admincontrol acquisition), MTS/BondVision for fixed income, Euronext ETF Europe for unified ETF trading, and growth-stage programmes (IPOready, IPOgo, ELITE, Euronext Tech Leaders, Euronext Growth).

Euronext monetises through six primary revenue streams: cash equity trading (transaction fees), derivatives trading (transaction fees), clearing and settlement (transaction fees), market data and indices (data monetisation, including BFIX and Pyth Network distribution), listing fees (initial and annual subscription), and ETF and fund services (transaction fees). The customer base spans equity issuers, ETF and fund managers (including Amundi), derivatives market participants, financial institutions (including BNY for collateral services), and fixed income issuers. FY2025 revenue reached €1.82 billion (up 12.1% year-on-year), with Q1 2026 underlying revenue at €528.5 million, supported by a growing share of fixed, recurring, and data-driven revenue lines alongside the cyclical trading franchise.
