MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Cboe Global Markets
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Cboe Global Markets, Inc.:

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. recently declared a 19.4% increase in its quarterly dividend to $0.86 per share, marking its 16th consecutive annual increase, which signals strong cash generation and a commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
The company demonstrated robust financial performance in its most recent earnings report, beating consensus estimates with an actual EPS of $3.56 compared to the expected $3.49, while also achieving 24.6% year-over-year revenue growth.
With the current stock price at $272.86, the shares are trading at a significant discount to the 52-week high of $371.18, presenting a potential entry point for investors looking to capitalize on the company's strong growth trajectory and recurring revenue model.
Cboe Global Markets, Inc. is expanding its digital asset offerings, including seeking SEC approval for 3x Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and reporting 1.9 million average daily volume for FLEX options in Q1 2026, which positions the company to benefit from the growing institutional interest in digital assets.
The company maintains a low beta of 0.61, indicating that its stock is less volatile than the broader market, which can provide a more stable investment profile for risk-averse investors seeking exposure to the capital markets sector.

Cboe Global Markets
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Cboe Global Markets, Inc. for these reasons:

The stock is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 140.65, which is significantly higher than the market average, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued relative to its earnings and leaving little room for error if growth slows.
Recent news indicates that prediction market rival Kalshi has asked the SEC to slow product launches from Cboe Global Markets, Inc., specifically targeting binary options contracts, which could create regulatory friction and delay the company's expansion into new product areas.
Despite strong earnings, the consensus rating from analysts remains a Hold with a price target of $315.30, which is only about 15% above the current price, suggesting that analysts do not see significant additional upside in the near term.
Short interest has been increasing in recent months, with shares shorted rising to 3,062,548 as of August 31, 2026, indicating that some investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
The company's stock has underperformed the Nasdaq in recent periods, as noted in recent market commentary, which could indicate that investors are rotating out of the stock in favor of other growth opportunities.
