Euronext stock (NL0015000D50) rose 2.1 percent on September 14, 2026 after Reuters reported that CEO Stephane Boujnah was open to a tie-up with Deutsche Boerse. MarketScreener showed Euronext at EUR 160.90 and a market capitalization of EUR 18.63 billion at 05:33:14 on September 14, 2026.

Merger talk returns

According to Reuters, Boujnah told the Financial Times that a merger of the exchanges business would make sense, although no talks were under way. Reuters added that Euronext shares were up around 2 percent by 09:44 GMT and Deutsche Boerse was up 2.9 percent.

MarketScreener said Euronext was up 1.71 percent to EUR 160.90 in off-hours trading, with a 5-day gain of 1.07 percent and a year-to-date rise of 25.86 percent. The same snapshot put market value at EUR 18.63 billion, giving investors a clear read on how strongly the merger remarks resonated.

Q2 figures still matter

MarketScreener's company page for Euronext listed the latest reported quarter as Q2 2026 and said the company published earnings on July 31, 2026. It also showed 16 analysts, a mean consensus of OUTPERFORM and an average target price of EUR 165.50, versus a last close of EUR 158.20 on the page.

That spread equals 4.61 percent and leaves the shares below the consensus target even after the latest move. On the same page, Euronext's profile said the group handled 29 percent of European lit equity trading and had more than 1,800 listed issuers as of February 2026, underlining the scale behind the stock.

Stock stays above 160

For investors, the key level is now EUR 160.90 on Euronext Paris, with the stock trading 1.71 percent higher at the latest MarketScreener snapshot on September 14, 2026. The combination of a EUR 18.63 billion market cap and a 2026 gain of 25.86 percent keeps the shares close to the upper end of their recent trading band.
