October 16, 2026 – Toronto, ON – The Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE” or “the Exchange”) today announced market statistics for September 2026.

September 2026 Operating Statistics

Trading volume of CSE listed securities totaled 1.1 billion shares;
Trading value of CSE listed securities was $376 million;
CSE issuers completed 88 financings that raised an aggregate $327 million; and
The CSE welcomed listings from five new companies and one fundamental change of business for an existing issuer, bringing total listed securities to 739 as at September 30, 2026.

“September was marked by a substantial uptick in the total value of financings for CSE-listed companies, driven by significant equity financings by BetterLife Pharma Inc. and Avanti Gold Corp.,” said Richard Carleton, CEO of the CSE. “This reflects a strong year for equity financing on the Exchange. In fact, for the year-to-date, equity financings on the CSE total approximately $1.7 billion, which is greater than any full year since 2021, with mining and life sciences showing particular strength.”

What’s On at the CSE

The CSE recently participated in the 17^th biennial World Financial Information Conference (WFIC) in Copenhagen.
