Will CME Group (CME) Keep Its Beat Streak Alive in Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
CME Group (CME - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter 2022 earnings on Feb 8, before market open. CME delivered an earnings surprise in each of the last four quarters, the average being 2.98%.
Factors to Consider
An increase in clearing, transaction fees and other revenues, and market data and information services is likely to have aided revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $1.2 billion, indicating an increase of 5.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
Increased volatility driving higher volumes is likely to have benefited clearing and transaction fees. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for clearing and transaction fees is pegged at $995 million, indicating an increase of 4.8% from the year-ago reported figure.
Recently, CME Group reported solid average daily volume (ADV) for 2022. ADV of record 23.3 million contracts increased 19% year over year, driven by growth in Equity Index of 39% and Foreign Exchange products of 24%.
Market data and information services revenues are likely to have increased owing to price increases for certain device fees. The consensus estimate for market data and information services is pegged at $154 million, indicating an increase of 8.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
Expenses are likely to have decreased in the to-be-reported quarter due to lower compensation and benefits, technology, reduced professional fees and outside services, amortization of purchased intangibles, lower depreciation and amortization.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings per share is pegged at $1.90, indicating an increase of 14.5% from the year-ago quarter reported figure.
