Amani Korayeim, Director for Europe and Emerging EMEA, said “We warmly congratulate this year’s top ranked leaders, with special recognition to the standout newcomers and regions setting the standard in IR excellence. Extel’s powerful, independent data provides a key benchmark in the industry, influencing both compensation and performance metrics for Investor Relations (IR) teams. Strong IR plays a crucial role in creating shareholder value, often earning recognition through these rankings and giving companies a strategic market advantage. In contrast, weak IR can lead to undervaluation, volatility, and higher capital costs. Top-ranked teams consistently refine their strategies, using data and insights to engage the market more effectively. Their targeted, personalized communication helps them stand out, attract investors, and outperform peers.”
