Unable to understand how list is built

Can someone explain me why the code line below :

Returns <- eapply(Data,function(s) ROC(Ad(s), type="discrete"))

does return :

enter image description here

I guess that it's classed by value but quite not sure

Since Data is built as below :

enter image description here

Why isn't my list structured as excepted :

Returns : 
  -> ACA.PA
  -> BNP.PA
  -> UG.PA

How would I Fix this in order to keep the same structure ?

Reproducible Example

stock_list <- c("ACA.PA","BNP.PA","UG.PA")
Data <- new.env(hash = FALSE)
getSymbols(stock_list,
           from = start_date,
           to = end_date,
           src = "yahoo",
           periodicity = "monthly",
           env=Data)
Returns <- lapply(Data,function(s) ROC(Ad(s), type="discrete"))

if we need the output in the same order, we can use mget with envir specified as 'Data'

Returns <- lapply(mget(stock_list, envir = Data), 
        function(s) ROC(Ad(s), type="discrete"))

names(Returns)
#[1] "ACA.PA" "BNP.PA" "UG.PA"

According to ?eapply

order of the components is arbitrary for hashed environments.

and in ?new.env

env.profile returns a list with the following components: size the number of chains that can be stored in the hash table, nchains the number of non-empty chains in the table (as reported by HASHPRI), and counts an integer vector giving the length of each chain (zero for empty chains). This function is intended to assess the performance of hashed environments. When env is a non-hashed environment, NULL is returned.
