The combined position is 20.40 percentage points above the direct stake, making the clearing infrastructure a larger strategic asset within the exchange group.

Yield and market value

The latest market snapshot lists a 13.8 percent dividend yield, 60.51 million shares outstanding and a price-to-earnings ratio of 9.1. The same profile places the company's market capitalization at COP 986.4 billion and its 52-week range at COP 12,080.00 to COP 18,180.00, with the figures supplied by Investing.com.

Why the clearing stake matters

A larger ownership position gives the exchange greater influence over fees, access rules, collateral requirements and technology decisions at the central counterparty. Those choices affect brokers and market participants because the clearing house stands between buyers and sellers in derivatives, government bonds, foreign-exchange trades and equities.

Market value on October 20

The latest quoted home-market value was COP 16,300.00 on the Colombia Stock Exchange on October 20, 2026. For investors, the key comparison is the 75.28 percent clearing-house stake against the 54.88 percent direct holding, with Deceval accounting for a further 20.41 percent.
