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

green Wall Street bull icon

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

  • Cboe Global Markets, Inc. recently secured exclusive rights to the S&P 500 (SPX) index through 2051, a 25-year extension that locks in a critical revenue stream and supports long-term volume growth and product innovation in its core options business.
  • The company announced a partnership with Robinhood to launch new KPI (Key Performance Indicator) binary contracts, which expands its retail reach and creates new clearing revenue opportunities by allowing traders to bet on specific corporate earnings outcomes.
  • Recent analyst sentiment has shifted positively, with TD Cowen upgrading the stock to "Buy" with a $334.00 price target and Goldman Sachs moving from "Sell" to "Neutral," reflecting confidence in the company's strategic moves and growth potential.
  • With the current stock price at $278.20, the valuation offers a potential upside of approximately 20.1% relative to the latest TD Cowen price target, suggesting the market may not yet fully price in the benefits of the new SPX rights and KPI contracts.
  • The company demonstrated strong financial performance in its most recent reported quarter, with actual EPS of $3.56 beating the consensus estimate of $3.49 and revenue of $731.6 million exceeding the consensus of $716.61 million, indicating robust operational execution.

Cboe Global Markets
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The stock is trading at a high price-to-earnings ratio of 143.40, which is significantly elevated and may leave little room for error if future earnings growth does not accelerate to justify the premium valuation.
  • Despite recent upgrades, the broader consensus rating from analysts remains "Hold" with a consensus price target of $315.30, suggesting that many institutional investors still view the stock as fairly valued or lacking significant near-term upside catalysts.
  • Short interest has been increasing in recent months, with shares shorted rising to 3,108,903 as of September 15, 2026, indicating that a portion of the market is betting against the stock's future performance.
  • Insider selling activity has been notable, with directors such as Janet P. Froetscher and Edward J. Fitzpatrick selling shares in 2026, which can sometimes signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term trajectory from those closest to the company.
  • The company's stock has experienced significant volatility, hitting a 52-week low of $227.15 in June 2026 after peaking at $371.18 in May 2026, highlighting the risk of sharp drawdowns and the sensitivity of the stock to market sentiment and trading volume fluctuations.
