As of 22 September 2025, Euronext has officially joined the CAC 40®, France’s flagship blue-chip index. This inclusion marks a defining moment in Euronext’s evolution from a national exchange group to a diversified, integrated European leader.
Euronext’s entry into the CAC 40® follows more than a decade of strategic growth since its IPO in 2014. Over this period, the Group has deeply transformed its business model, expanded its geographic presence and successfully built a full-service offering across the entire capital markets value chain.
This milestone highlights the success of Euronext’s ambitious transformation
Having begun the decade as a cash equities-focused operator of four national exchanges, Euronext now serves as the backbone of European capital markets, operating seven regulated exchanges across Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Oslo and Paris, with an upcoming offer for the Athens Stock Exchange.
Euronext’s diversification has been equally significant and reflects our leadership in shaping European capital markets. The Group has scaled beyond trading to encompass listing, clearing, settlement, custody and corporate solutions, while also establishing leadership in ESG indexing and data services. Its proprietary trading platform Optiq® and the creation of Europe’s largest liquidity pool further underscore its technological leadership and operational excellence.
With over €1.6 billion in revenue in 2024 and an adjusted EBITDA exceeding €1 billion, Euronext has consistently demonstrated strong financial performance, supported by a resilient diversified business model. The Group’s European federal model and long-term commitment to integration have positioned it as a pillar of Europe’s financial infrastructure, capable of rivalling global peers while reinforcing Europe’s strategic financial autonomy.
This performance is the result of a clear strategic vision as outlined in the Group’s most recent strategic plan, ‘Innovate for Growth 2027’, resulting in a tenfold increase in market capitalisation from €1.4 billion at IPO in June 2014 to €14.5 billion as of August 2025.
This milestone is a reflection of the collaboration, trust and commitment of all our stakeholders into building successful, integrated European projects
To mark this milestone, Euronext hosted a bell ceremony yesterday in Paris, celebrating its official entry into the CAC 40® Index. The event brought together key figures from across Europe’s capital markets, including institutional investors, regulators, listed companies, partners and policymakers, such as Éric Lombard, French Minister of Economy and Finance.
Euronext’s inclusion in the CAC 40® is a collective achievement, made possible by the dedication of its teams and the continued trust of clients, partners, shareholders and supervisors across Europe. As the Group enters this new chapter, it does so with renewed commitment to innovation, scale and long-term value creation for the European economy.
