Deutsche Börse stock in focus after 14% Q3 growth and outlook upgrade

On October 20, 2026, Deutsche Börse Group reported broad-based growth in the third quarter and raised its 2026 total net revenue outlook for a second time. The company said net revenue excluding the treasury result increased 14 percent year on year to 1.415 billion euros. Six of its eight businesses delivered double-digit growth. The Deutsche Boerse Group published the figures in its quarterly statement.

Revenue growth broadens

Including the treasury result, quarterly net revenue rose 13 percent to 1.633 billion euros. The treasury result itself reached 218 million euros, 7 percent above the prior-year quarter and its first year-on-year increase since 2024. Deutsche Börse said changing interest-rate expectations supported fixed-income and funding-market activity and strengthened the treasury result.

Operating costs rose 7 percent to 646 million euros, reflecting higher share-based compensation and expenses linked to the planned Allfunds transaction. Excluding those effects, cost growth was around 3 percent. EBITDA excluding the treasury result increased 19 percent to 760 million euros, while total EBITDA rose 16 percent to 978 million euros.

Net profit attributable to shareholders climbed 18 percent to 559 million euros. Cash earnings per share reached 3.28 euros, while basic earnings per share stood at 3.10 euros. The company said rising assets under custody and settlement volumes in its Fund Services and Securities Services businesses point to a longer-term structural opportunity from greater use of capital-market investment products in Europe.

Higher targets set the next test

Deutsche Börse now expects 2026 net revenue excluding the treasury result to reach approximately 5.7 billion euros, with potential to slightly exceed that level. The treasury result is expected to exceed 0.8 billion euros, up from the previous target of more than 0.7 billion euros. Total net revenue is therefore expected to exceed 6.5 billion euros, while EBITDA including the treasury result is expected to reach approximately 3.9 billion euros. Operating-cost growth is expected at around 3 percent excluding Allfunds-related exceptional costs.
