Jun 4, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 5 opinions in the last 12 months.
CBOE Holdings Inc. is positioned strongly in the financial services sector, especially in derivatives trading, where it owns the VIX, allowing it to capitalize during periods of market volatility. Recent performance has been remarkable, with 14% year-over-year earnings growth and expanding revenues across various trading markets, reflecting increased retail investor participation. Experts noted the stock's consistent return on capital and a solid balance sheet, making it an attractive option for both short-term and long-term investors. While there's optimism due to current market conditions, the potential for a slowdown in trading volumes raises some caution. Despite reaching near all-time highs, the stock is perceived as not overly expensive, with analysts setting a price target indicative of solid future growth.
Offers a consistent 50% return on capital and is not expensive nor volatile. Has a clean balance sheet. You can buy a tranche now.
Matt KacurHe recently bought it. There's strong engagement in the financial services industry, including heavy options volumes.
Joe TerranovaHistorically, the exchanges have been great performers, but lately they have caught fire and are outperforming the market. Tailwinds are higher stocks, more volatility in April followed by aggressive buying as investor piled back into the market. If this high volume declines, though, so will the indexes. ETFs trading is also surging as are cryptos which concerns him because cryptos are risky. He prefers that people buy and hold quality stocks. You can buy options, only if you do it carefully. Can the stock of these exchanges keep running after such a big move? Yes, and the stocks are not that expensive. Though near all-time highs, as long as these conditions, including volatility, endure, these stocks will keep winning. CBOE posted 14% YOY earnings growth and double-digit net revenue growth across derivatives, cash and spot markets. The proliferation of derivatives trading by retail investors is another boost.
An exchange for stocks, ETFs, and crypto. Smaller than NYSE or NASD, yet still a $26B market cap and the most exciting. Focuses on derivatives. ROC profile is phenomenal. Likes the space in general. Trades at 19x EV/EBITDA. Great chart, steadily moves up and to the right. Growth was 20% last quarter. Yield is 1.02%.
(Analysts’ price target is $250.88)Matt KacurChicago Board Options Exchange. Options give you the right to buy or sell an underlying stock/index/commodity at a certain price for a certain length of time. Higher margins than just trading stocks. Taskmaster of proprietary products. Exclusive license on the VIX as well. Yield is 1.09%.
The business of exchanges is very good, sees growth. On a day like today when the market is down, trading exchanges are up because volumes go through the roof, with profitability right behind. Even talk of trading being allowed 24 hours a day.
