Athens Exchange (ISIN GRS395363005) was last at EUR 10.22 on Euronext Athens on October 2, 2026, after falling 4.49 percent during the session. The exchange operator's latest corporate milestone was the completion of its market-operator spin-off on September 30, 2026.

Spin-off keeps operations under control

According to Mikrometoxos on October 2, 2026, Euronext Athens Holding completed the transfer of its market-operator business to the wholly owned Euronext Athens Single-Member subsidiary after shareholder and regulatory approvals. The transferred activities include the regulated securities and derivatives markets, the multilateral trading facility, related real estate, assets and liabilities.

The structure separates the market-operator activity legally while leaving ownership with the listed holding company. The subsidiary continues operating as a separately supervised Euronext entity, making the transaction a technical reorganization rather than a disclosed change to the group's consolidated financial position.

Profit doubled in the first half

The earnings trend gives the corporate restructuring a stronger financial backdrop. According to Economico Markets, consolidated net profit after tax reached EUR 27.0 million in the first half of 2026, an increase of 100 percent from the year-earlier period.

The result is especially relevant because exchange operators benefit from higher activity, listings and market infrastructure demand. Euronext Athens also operates trading, clearing, settlement and issuer services, so the effect of stronger turnover can extend beyond the exchange's own trading venue.

Stock remains below yearly high

At EUR 10.22 on October 2, the stock stood EUR 1.62 below its 52-week high of EUR 11.84 and EUR 4.50 above its 52-week low of EUR 5.72. The same session showed an intraday range of EUR 10.22 to EUR 10.88, while volume reached 26,161 shares.

The market capitalization was EUR 591.2 million as of October 2, 2026. The combination of a completed structural separation, doubled first-half net profit and a 4.49 percent daily decline leaves operating performance and trading activity as the main figures for assessing the next phase of Athens Exchange stock.
