Executive summary

Cboe Global Markets operates securities and derivatives exchanges, including a well known options marketplace and platforms for equities, futures and foreign exchange trading. It earns money from transaction fees, from fees for market data and access, and from listing and related services. Trading activity and market volatility influence volumes, and the company also licenses proprietary index products, such as the volatility index, which generate recurring income.

Net debt to EBITDA is -0.4 times, which means the company holds more cash than debt. Shareholders receive a dividend with a yield of 1.0%.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
