SIX Group first-half 2026 results showed record EBITDA as strong trading activity lifted income, profit, and margins across the business.
The Swiss financial infrastructure operator said on July 23 that all four business units helped produce its strongest EBITDA result on record. Net operating income rose 8.8% from a year earlier to CHF 806.6 million. At constant exchange rates, that increase was 10.0%.
EBITDA, excluding transformation costs, climbed 38.2% to CHF 367.6 million. Meanwhile, the rise reached 40.2% at constant exchange rates. The EBITDA margin, based on net operating income and excluding transformation costs, increased to 45.6% from 35.8% a year earlier.
SIX Group First-Half 2026 Results Lift Profit
Group net profit came in at CHF 191.7 million. That compared with CHF 40.3 million in the first half of 2025. Transformation costs also fell, dropping to CHF 19.7 million from CHF 31.0 million in the prior-year period.
Markus Habbel, CFO of SIX, said the figures reflected favorable market conditions and the strength of the company’s diversified business model. He added that the strong financial showing gives SIX room to reinvest in its core franchises and seek growth in nearby services.
Trading Activity Supports Core Units
The Exchanges unit made the largest contribution to EBITDA. Combined turnover across SIX Swiss Exchange and BME Exchange rose 15.3% to CHF 969.3 billion. Meanwhile, Securities Services benefited from record levels on the SMI and IBEX 35 indices.
Financial Information posted growth in regulatory and tax services. Banking Services also expanded, helped by debit card, mobile, and TWINT payment activity. In addition, SIX said it is in the second year of its three-year Scale Up 2027 program, which targets mid-single digit income growth and an EBITDA margin above 40%, a level the group already exceeded in this period.
