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. reported third-quarter 2026 earnings of $3.63 per share, significantly beating the consensus estimate of $3.43 per share, driven by a 36% surge in earnings and record options activity that demonstrates strong operational momentum.
  • The company recently announced a $550 million increase in its share repurchase authorization, a move that signals management confidence in the stock's value and provides direct support for shareholder equity by reducing the number of outstanding shares.
  • Revenue growth has accelerated to 17.6% year-over-year in the most recent quarter, with the company raising its full-year 2026 revenue guidance, indicating that the current trading environment is sustaining high volumes across its options and digital asset segments.
  • With the stock currently trading at $335.53, Cboe Global Markets, Inc. offers a dividend yield of 1.60%, providing a steady income stream for investors while the company continues to expand its market share in global derivatives and digital asset clearing.
  • The firm's strategic expansion into digital assets, including its regulated futures exchange and clearinghouse, positions it to capture new revenue streams from the growing cryptocurrency market, diversifying its income beyond traditional equity and options trading.

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's current price of $335.53 is above the consensus price target of $321.91, suggesting that the market may have already priced in the recent earnings beats and that the stock is trading at a premium relative to analyst expectations.
  • Despite strong performance, the consensus rating from analysts remains a "Hold," indicating that while the company is performing well, many institutional investors believe the current valuation leaves limited room for further upside compared to other market opportunities.
  • The company's P/E ratio of 172.95 is exceptionally high, meaning investors are paying a significant premium for each dollar of earnings, which can be risky if future earnings growth slows down or if market sentiment shifts negatively.
  • Short interest has been increasing in recent months, with shares shorted rising to 2.97 million as of October 2026, suggesting that a portion of the market is betting against the stock's future performance despite the recent positive news.
  • Recent insider activity includes multiple sales by directors and executives, such as Janet P. Froetscher selling 937 shares in August 2026, which some investors may interpret as a lack of confidence in the stock's long-term trajectory from those closest to the company.
