Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (CBOE - Free Report) is slated to report first-quarter 2022 earnings on Apr 29, before the opening bell. CBOE delivered an earnings surprise in each of the last four quarters, the average being 6.20%.

Factors to Consider

Cboe Global’s first-quarter revenues are likely to have benefited from higher transaction fees driven by higher volumes traded, market data fees and access and capacity fees, and regulatory fees as well as the contribution from acquisitions. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $408.8 million, indicating an increase of 11.8% from the year-ago reported figure.

Cboe Global is likely to have gained from higher volumes across businesses, along with increased demand for data and access solutions.

Revenues from data and access solutions are likely to have benefited from continued demand for access to exchanges, proprietary market data and new subscribers to Cboe's front-end platforms.

Market data revenues are likely to have been aided by an increase in subscribers and additional revenues attributed to Chi-X Asia Pacific, consolidated tape plans, the licensing of proprietary options market data, index licensing and access and capacity services.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter market data fees and access and capacity fees is pegged at $66 million and $76 million, indicating growth of 3.1% and 15.1%, respectively, from the prior-year quarter reported figure.

Cboe Global is likely to have benefited from strong proprietary products, VIX futures, VIX options and SPX options. Also, Cboe Global expects to witness solid growth in multi-listed options trading.
