TMX Group Consolidated Trading Statistics - September 2026
Year-to-date equity activity increased across all three aggregate measures, while TSX Alpha recorded lower volume and trading value.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
TMX Group (TMXXF) reported September 2026 trading statistics, with equity trading value rising from both August 2026 and September 2025. Across its equity marketplaces, trading value reached $439,661,285,474, while volume was 13,749,465,011 and transactions totaled 28,968,353. Volume rose from August but fell year over year; transactions showed the opposite pattern.
Year-to-date equity trading value increased 35.7%, volume rose 17.4% and transactions increased 29.7% versus 2025. TSX Venture's year-to-date trading value rose 103.8%, while TSX Alpha's fell 8.9%. Montréal Exchange's September derivatives volume reached 25,783,408 contracts, above both comparison months. Figures are as of September 30, 2026 and remain subject to changes until September trades are finalized.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.
