CBOE: Post The CFTC Decision, Let's See If This Is Still A Good Option

Summary Cboe Global Markets, Inc. delivered robust Q1 2026 results, with revenue up 29% and EPS beating consensus by $0.33. Despite strong earnings, CBOE shares have declined 25% from recent highs, pressured by CFTC’s approval of Bitcoin perpetual futures for Kalshi. Current valuation appears stretched, with shares trading at a ~28% premium to fair value (~$275 vs. ~$215), and a long-term expected return of 8.55%. I remain cautious on CBOE at stock current levels, monitoring regulatory developments and potential competition. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

CBOE: Downgrading To Hold Amid Rising Costs And Intensified Competition

Summary I am downgrading Cboe Global Markets, Inc. from a 'buy' to a 'hold' due to lackluster profitability growth and rising expenses outpacing revenue growth. Recent results showed revenue growth but missed estimates, with operating expenses climbing 10%, leading to EBITDA margin contraction and EPS falling short of expectations. Despite strong performance in derivatives and Data Vantage businesses, competition and expense growth pose risks to sustaining high EBITDA margins and profitability. Given the potential for muted growth and valuation risks, I find it difficult to justify a 'buy' rating at this time. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Cboe Global: Growth Catalysts, But Overpriced Entry

Summary Cboe has a reasonably solid competitive moat with proprietary products like SPX and VIX. The business model includes high-margin derivatives trading, market data services, and cash and spot markets. An expanding global presence has positioned CBOE well for future growth, though reduced market volatility and competitive pressures are ever-present risks. Despite strong performance over the past several years, the share price has been flat for the past year or so. CBOE's current valuation unfortunately suggests limited near-term upside.

Cboe Global Markets: Rich Valuation, But High Quality Business And Strong Chart

Summary Options volume has been declining, but CBOE's share price remains resilient, supported by strong technicals despite a high valuation and soft EPS growth estimates. CBOE's Q2 results were mixed, with EPS beating estimates but revenue slightly missing; however, robust net revenue and reaffirmed expense guidance boosted shares. Key risks include low market volatility and increased competition, but strong free cash flow and potential operating leverage present upside opportunities. Despite a premium valuation, CBOE's technicals are strong, with support around $200; a breakdown below this level could shift my rating to sell. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
