From then and until 1909, Børsen was also formally associated with Grosserer-Societetet (English: The Merchant Society).{{cite web|editor1=Jose L.

In 1969, the majority shareholder became the Swedish Bonnier Group.{{cite web|title=Dagbladet Børsen|url=http://www.bonnierbusinesspress.com/markets/denmark/|work=Bonnier Group|access-date=11 November 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141111220622/http://www.bonnierbusinesspress.com/markets/denmark/|archive-date=11 November 2014|url-status=dead}} The publishing house changed its name to Forlaget Børsen Ltd. In 1970, the paper was reorganized to almost exclusively feature business news, resulting in an improved net circulation. The success of the Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer was functional in this change.
In January 2016, negotiations were underway for Bonnier Group to sell Børsen to JP/Politikens Hus at the price of 800 million kroner.{{cite news| url=http://politiken.dk/kultur/medier/ECE3006423/jppolitikens-hus-koeber-boersen/|title=JP/Politikens Hus køber Børsen|work=Politiken|date=8 January 2016|access-date=8 January 2016|author=Anders Legarth Schmidt|language=da}} The {{Ill|Danish Competition and Consumer Authority|da|Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen}} ({{Lang|da|Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen}}) indicated that it was opposed to a merger because the combined company would be too dominant in the Danish market. On Tuesday, 24 January 2017, JP/Politikens Hus A/S said it had withdrawn its offer to merge with Dagbladet Børsen and instead had opted for a 49.9% ownership of Dagbladet Børsen for a price of 400 million Danish kroner. Bonnier Group would have a 50.1% ownership of the company.{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}}

Design
Since 1 March 1993, the newspaper has stood out by its use of salmon-pink paper, an intentional reference to the British Financial Times. As of 2011, the newspaper was redesigned, incorporating salmon-pink further by also using the color across all platforms.{{Cite web |url=http://borsen.dk/nyheder/medier/artikel/1/216181/anders_krab_vi_elsker_pink.html |title=Anders Krab: Vi elsker pink, 28 September 2011 |access-date=29 March 2014 |archive-date=15 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140215115600/http://borsen.dk/nyheder/medier/artikel/1/216181/anders_krab_vi_elsker_pink.html |url-status=dead }} Magenta was also chosen as a signal color, PT Serif as the primary typeface, and the logo was replaced by a new, hand-drawn one made by the Danish designer Jan Andersen.Jan Andersen.
