Amani Korayeim, Director for Europe and Emerging EMEA, said “The Extel rankings are a key industry benchmark, directly impacting the compensation and performance metrics of Investor Relations (IR) teams. These teams are vital in driving shareholder value, with exceptional IR practices often recognized through these rankings, giving companies a strategic edge that can lead to higher market valuations. Conversely, poor IR can result in undervaluation, market volatility, and increased capital costs. The top performers in our surveys are those who consistently evaluate and refine their IR strategies. By taking a deliberate and strategic approach to market engagement—leveraging research and insights—they optimize their IR efforts, outperform competitors, and attract investors with targeted, personalized communication. We extend our warmest congratulations to this year's top-ranked leaders, with special recognition to the newcomers and regions exemplifying excellence in IR.”
