Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about CME Group stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of the CME Group underperformed the Zacks categorized Securities Exchanges industry year to date. The company has also been witnessing estimates moving south over the last 60 days. Mounting expenses remain a concern. It projects higher expense in 2017 and license fees to increase in the 10-15% band year over year.  Exposure to interest rate volatility, limited credit availability can hamper liquidity. Nonetheless, CME Group remains well positioned for growth on the back of its strong market position with diverse derivative product lines. Efforts to expand and cross sell its core exchange-traded business through new product initiatives and global reach also support growth. CME is set to report second quarter results on Aug 1. Our proven model cannot conclusively say if it will beat or miss expectation as Zacks Rank #4 that lower the predictive power  of a beat when combined with Earnings ESP of 0.00% makes prediction difficult."

• 2. J P Morgan Chase & Co analysts commented, "CME reported GAAP EPS of $0.95 and Adjusted EPS of $1.14. Revenue was a bit lower than expected on product RPC even though the mix generally improved for the quarter. Expenses were also lower, particularly comp. CME has a lot going on in product development and will invest more to bring a number of products to market. While we feel such investments are critical, we also feel that investors will only pay for them after-the-fact, rather than before. We continue to think of CME as a true income-growth investment idea and thus maintain the Overweight rating." (7/29/2016)
