Return on Equity (ROE)
The company’s ROE for the trailing 12 months is 17.5%, better than the industry average of 13.4%. This reflects the company’s efficiency in utilizing shareholders’ funds.
Business Tailwinds
Cboe Global continued to witness solid top-line growth across each of the business segments, riding on higher transaction and recurring non-transaction revenues.
Higher volumes in index options and volatility products, increased demand for its suite of data and access solutions and growth in trading volumes across all the segments are likely to drive the performance of the security exchange.
Given the solid performance in the first nine months, Cboe Global raised its 2021 organic growth target for recurring non-transaction revenues to approximately 14% from the earlier guidance of 12-13%. Additional units or subscribers, continued demand for access to exchanges, proprietary market data and new subscribers to Cboe’s front-end platforms, including Silexx and Trade Alert, are expected to drive organic recurring non-transaction revenues.
Cboe Global, being the largest stock exchange operator by volume in the United States and a leading market for ETP trading, expects to deliver total net revenue growth of 5-7% annually, an increase from 4-6% growth expected earlier for the medium term.

While Cboe Global expects Data and Access Solutions to contribute organic net revenue growth of 7- 10% annually over the medium term, derivatives initiatives will likely contribute 2-4% of total organic net revenue growth over the medium term. Cboe Global expects medium- to long-term organic total net revenue growth of 4-6%.
Cboe Global Markets boasts a compelling inorganic growth story. In November 2021, CBOE agreed to buy Aequitas Innovations in an effort to strengthen its North American presence. The security exchange pursues acquisitions to strengthen its business. These acquisitions enable Cboe Global to pursue the development of derivatives trading, clearing capabilities in the European equities business region, gain a foothold in the key capital market and build a comprehensive equities platform.
Cboe Global boasts a robust liquidity position, which mitigates balance-sheet risks and accelerates capital deployment.
Riding on strong cash flow generation, CBOE has hiked dividends each year since its IPO and increased the same by 14% in October 2021. This marked the 11th consecutive year of dividend hikes. It currently yields 1.5%, which is better than the industry average of 0.9%. At present, it has $318.9 million remaining under its existing share repurchase authorization.
