Cash Cows
Eurex, one of the world’s top derivatives exchanges, generated €1.2bn in revenue and €650m in EBITDA in 2024, delivering stable transaction fees from interest-rate and equity-index futures.
The market is mature—global futures ADV (average daily volume) grew 3% in 2024—so growth is steady, promotional spend low, and margins remain high.
Its strong cash flow funds Deutsche Börse’s M&A and tech investments, supporting 2024 capex of €430m and strategic buys like 2023’s Clearstream-related deals.
Clearstream Post-Trade Services, Deutsche Börse’s international central securities depository, settles and safekeeps €14.2 trillion in assets under custody (AUC) as of FY2024, providing settlement for equities, bonds, and ETFs across 50+ markets.
High regulatory barriers, network effects from 1,200+ institutional clients, and integrated settlement rails sustain market dominance and prevent new entrants.
Low industry growth (~2% CAGR) plus predictable custody and settlement fees generated €1.1bn in post-trade revenue in 2024, making Clearstream a classic cash cow.
The STOXX and DAX blue‑chip index business generates high‑margin licensing revenue—ETF and structured product fees—driving operating margins around 60% in 2024; DAX-based products alone supported ~€240m in index licensing revenue in 2024.
These benchmarks are industry standards requiring minimal capex—index maintenance capex under €10m annually—so returns on invested capital exceed 30%, fueling Deutsche Börse’s dividend policy and cash returns to shareholders.
Xetra Cash Equities Market

Established trading systems and co-location deliver high operating margins (Deutsche Börse cash equities margins ~45% in 2024), making Xetra a dependable cash cow with low capex needs and stable free cash flow.
- ~90% market share in German blue‑chip trading (2025)

- Cash equities margin ~45% (DB AG cash equities segment, 2024)
- Low growth capex, steady fee revenue, predictable FCF

Deutsche Börse’s Regulatory Reporting and Compliance Services use exchange infrastructure to meet EU transparency rules (e.g., MiFID II/RTS 1). In 2024 the unit delivered stable revenues—about €160m—with margins near 45% due to automation and low variable costs, reflecting mature demand and a loyal client base tied to Deutsche Börse’s reputation.
