Deutsche Börse's Q2 revenue reached €1.6 billion, 1.8% above consensus, supported by 9% growth in non-treasury income and a 60.6% EBITDA margin. Management reiterated its 2026 operating outlook and raised treasury-income guidance above €700 million, although this contribution remains interest-rate dependent and less recurring than underlying business growth. The €500 million buyback has been completed, but management provided no indication of an additional repurchase program, potentially preserving flexibility for future acquisitions.
Revenues +12% (ex-treasury) and EBITDA +18% highlight the strength of the diversified model, with volatility acting as a tailwind, particularly in Trading & Clearing. After ~30% share price appreciation and trading at ~21x P/E, upside appears limited even under optimistic assumptions, leading to a move back to a neutral stance. As current valuations appear to reflect the company's strong fundamentals fully, we also see limited incremental shareholder returns with a dividend yield of 1.6% and 42% buyback already executed.
German exchange operator Deutsche Boerse said on Tuesday that it had acquired a 200 million dollar stake in US-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken.
