SIX Group, operator of the Swiss stock exchange, said it will consider NYSE Euronext’s European markets if they are offered for sale.
“We will take a look, everyone will take a look,” Urs Rueegsegger, chief executive officer of SIX, said in an interview in Zurich yesterday. “If Euronext attracts many potential buyers and they get the valuation they want, then that will be the next step in the consolidation process and encourage others. Euronext is about twice our size in trading volume, which means there will be significant synergy potential.”
