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.

green Wall Street bull icon

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

  • Recent analyst upgrades, including a move to "strong-buy" by Goldman Sachs and "overweight" by Morgan Stanley with a $358 price target, suggest that institutional investors see significant upside potential in the stock, which is currently trading at $314.98.
  • The company has demonstrated strong fundamental performance, beating consensus estimates for both EPS and revenue in its most recent earnings report on July 31, 2026, with revenue growing 24.6% year-over-year to $731.6 million.
  • Cboe Global Markets, Inc. is expanding its product offerings by extending options trading hours for major stocks and ETFs, a move that could increase trading volume and revenue by capturing more market activity during pre-market hours.
  • The company has secured SEC approval to list options on company performance metrics, such as those tied to Coinbase, Nvidia, and Tesla, which diversifies its revenue streams and positions it as a leader in innovative financial products.
  • With a low beta of 0.61, the stock offers a defensive profile that may provide stability during market volatility, making it an attractive option for investors seeking lower risk exposure.

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 162.36, which may indicate that the market is pricing in significant future growth that could be difficult to sustain, especially if earnings growth slows.
  • Despite recent upgrades, the consensus rating from analysts remains "Hold" with a price target of $315.3, suggesting that many experts believe the stock is fairly valued and may not offer substantial upside from its current level.
  • Short interest has been increasing, with shares shorted rising to 3,332,076 as of September 30, 2026, indicating that some investors are betting against the stock and expecting a decline in its price.
  • Insider selling activity, including recent sales by directors Janet P. Froetscher and Edward J. Fitzpatrick, may signal that company insiders are taking profits or are less confident in the stock's future performance.
  • The company faces intense competition from other securities and exchanges, which could pressure its market share and profitability, especially as it invests in new products and technologies to stay competitive.
