Eurex gets a new CEO

According to Deutsche Börse on September 15, 2026, the Eurex Frankfurt AG Supervisory Board appointed Eric Leupold to succeed Robbert Booij. Leupold currently serves as Managing Director Cash Market and Chief of Staff of the Trading and Clearing Division.

The succession keeps the change within the group and places a manager with experience in cash markets, trading and clearing at the helm of Eurex. Booij decided not to seek an extension of his Executive Board mandate, according to the company release.

First-half growth supports guidance

In the second quarter and first half of 2026, Yahoo Finance reported that Deutsche Börse delivered 11 percent net revenue growth without the treasury result in the first half. Net profit attributable to shareholders increased 12 percent to EUR 1.20 billion, while cash earnings per share rose 12 percent to EUR 6.73.

The company kept its core 2026 targets at EUR 5.70 billion of net revenue and EUR 3.10 billion of EBITDA, both excluding the treasury result. The treasury result is expected to exceed EUR 0.70 billion, taking total net revenue above EUR 6.40 billion and all-in EBITDA above EUR 3.80 billion.

Results date sets the next marker

The next quantified checkpoint is October 20, 2026, when Deutsche Börse plans to publish its third-quarter interim statement. The investor-relations calendar also lists an analyst and investor conference for October 21, 2026, creating a near-term test for the upgraded treasury outlook and the operating leverage visible in the first half.

Stock trades above prior close

At EUR 292.00, the Lang & Schwarz quote on October 6, 2026 at 10:39 a.m. CEST stood EUR 1.95 above the prior close of EUR 290.05 from October 5, 2026, a gain of 0.67 percent. The price response was modest beside the 12 percent first-half net profit growth, leaving the results outlook and the Eurex leadership transition as the main company-specific reference points.
