Euronext’s Executive and Investor Relations team recognised among Europe's best in 2026 Extel Executive Team rankings

Euronext has been recognised as a Most Honoured Company in the 2026 Extel Developed Europe & Emerging EMEA Executive Team research, reflecting the Group's continued commitment to transparent communication, strong governance and meaningful engagement with the investment community. 

The independent research, based on the views of 1,964 investment professionals across 937 investment firms, recognised Euronext's Investor Relations programme and leadership team with several top rankings in the Specialty and Other Financials – Large Cap category: 

  • Best CFO – Giorgio Modica (1st place) 

  • Best IR Professional – Judith Stein (1st place, Sell-side) 

  • Best IR Team – Euronext (2nd place, Sell-side) 

  • Best IR Programme – Euronext (2nd place, Combined) 

These recognitions reflect a year of strong execution across the Group, during which Euronext continued to deliver record financial and operational performance while maintaining an active dialogue with investors and analysts across Europe and internationally. 

Over the past twelve months, the Investor Relations team engaged with nearly 600 investors, providing regular opportunities to discuss Euronext's strategy, financial performance, growth ambitions and the evolution of European capital markets. The team, led by Judith Stein, Head of Investor Relations, and comprising Margaux Kurver, Investor Relations Manager, and Timothée André, Investor Relations Officer, works closely with Chief Financial Officer Giorgio Modica to deliver consistent, transparent and high-quality engagement with the investment community. 

Giorgio Modica, Chief Financial Officer of Euronext, said "This recognition is particularly meaningful because it reflects the confidence of the investors and analysts who engage with us throughout the year. It is the result of consistent execution, transparent communication and disciplined capital allocation.  Euronext’s long-term strategy continues to deliver. This past year has been another important step in our journey, marked by strong operational and financial performance, our entry into the CAC 40® and the acquisition of Athex Group. These achievements are the result of the dedication of colleagues across the Group, and I am pleased to see the work of our Investor Relations team recognised alongside them. Building trust with the market is a collective effort, and this recognition belongs to the entire team.” 

Judith Stein, Head of Investor Relations at Euronext, added "Investor relations is ultimately about building long-term relationships based on transparency, consistency and trust. These rankings are especially significant because they come directly from the investment community we engage with every day. They recognise not only the work of our Investor Relations team, but also the close collaboration across the business that enables us to communicate our strategy and performance clearly. As Euronext continues to grow and evolve, maintaining an open and constructive dialogue with investors will remain at the heart of what we do." 

Supporting a landmark year for Euronext 

The recognition follows one of the most significant years in Euronext's history. In 2025, the Group delivered record operational and financial performance, with underlying revenue and income increasing 12.1% to €1.8 billion, adjusted EBITDA rising 13.6% to €1.1 billion, and adjusted earnings per share growing 10.3%. At the same time, Euronext reinforced its position as Europe's leading market infrastructure, remaining the number one venue for equity listings in Europe with 50 new listings and maintaining its global leadership in debt listings with more than 14,500 new bonds listed. 

The year was also marked by several strategic milestones, including the successful acquisitions of Athex Group and Admincontrol, further strengthening Euronext's pan-European federal model and expanding its presence in Europe. Another defining moment came with Euronext's inclusion in the CAC 40 ® in September 2025, recognising more than a decade of transformation since the Group's IPO and reflecting the strength of its diversified business model, disciplined execution and long-term value creation strategy. 

Throughout this period, the Investor Relations team played a central role in communicating these milestones to the market, ensuring investors had a clear understanding of Euronext's strategic priorities, financial performance and long-term ambitions. 

Delivering on strategic ambitions 

As Euronext continues to deliver its “Innovate for Growth 2027” strategic plan, engagement with the investment community remains a key priority. Throughout 2026, the Group continues to execute major strategic initiatives, including the expansion of its pan-European repo offering, the launch of Nordic power derivatives, and the continued development of Euronext Securities. These initiatives reflect Euronext's broader ambition to build a more integrated, innovative and competitive European capital markets infrastructure. 

The 2026 Extel rankings recognise not only a successful year of investor engagement, but also the collective effort across Euronext to deliver consistent execution, clear communication and long-term value creation for shareholders and the wider market.
