Quartalszahlen: Deutsche Börse hebt nach starkem Quartal Ziele erneut an

Frankfurt - Deutsche Börse, the Berlin-based financial market operator, has raised its full-year targets for the second time in just a few months. This decision comes after a strong quarter and amid turbulence in global financial markets.

Jens Schulte, Deutsche Börse's Chief Financial Officer, expressed optimism about the company's prospects. He noted a "structural trend" gaining in importance, driven by increased investments in capital market-based products by both institutional and private European investors. This trend, coupled with the market turbulence, has positively impacted trading volumes.

As a result of these factors, Deutsche Börse has increased its forecast for 2026 net profits to over €6.5 billion, up from the previously expected €6.4 billion. The company also expects its operating profit to rise by €100 million, reaching approximately €3.9 billion.

In the last quarter, Deutsche Börse's net profits grew by 13%, reaching €1.63 billion, and its operating profit increased by 16%, to €978 million. These figures have received a favorable response from investors, with the company's shares rising by 0.6% in after-hours trading.
