AQSE Quarterly Update Q1 2026

As we settle into 2026, despite ongoing global challenges, Q1 has given us plenty of encouragement, from strong trading activity and fundraising momentum to the relationships we’ve continued to build across the ecosystem.

One of the highlights was bringing together some of our most recent issuers, Aquis Showcase finalists, and key investors under one roof at the SIX London HQ. It was a wonderful reminder of what makes Aquis Stock Exchange more than a market - a community genuinely united by ambition and mutual growth, and one we feel very lucky to be part of.

We were also delighted to officially launch the Aquis IPO Academy in partnership with Barclays Eagle Labs. Focused on powering the next generation of public companies, we have been busy meeting applicants and engaging with potential partners, and the early response has been really encouraging.

We also received our first award of the year. ADVFN named Aquis Stock Exchange the Best Exchange for Growth Companies. Given the competition, this recognition means a great deal to the whole team.

And our numbers are looking good too: £85.6m traded, £17.9m raised, and 8 fundraises exceeding £1m. This is a start we are proud of. In uncertain times, the quality of what we are building matters more than ever and we are focused, determined and genuinely excited about what is to come for our group.

Thank you for being part of it, we look forward to sharing more with you soon.
