Factors to Consider

Higher volumes and increased demand for data and access solutions are likely to have aided the third-quarter performance of Cboe Global.

Improved transaction fees, driven by higher volumes traded, market data fees, access and capacity fees and regulatory fees, as well as the contribution from acquisitions, are likely to have favored the company’s top line in the third quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $478 million, indicating an increase of 8.2% from the year-ago reported figure.

Data and access revenues are likely to have benefited from an increase in proprietary market data fees and access and capacity fees.

Market data revenues are likely to have been aided by proprietary market data in the Options and Europe and Asia Pacific segments, coupled with an increase in proprietary market data fees attributable to Cboe Canada.

Access and capacity fees are likely to have been aided by increased logical port fees in the North American Equities and Europe and Asia Pacific segments, driven by a rise in subscribers and improved physical port fees in the Options and Europe and Asia Pacific segments.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter market data fees and access and capacity fees is pegged at $76 million and $89 million, indicating growth of 7% and 8.5%, respectively, from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. Our estimate for market data revenues is pegged at $72 million, while the same for access and capacity fees is pegged at $90.2 million.

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

CBOE estimates interest expense in the range of $12-$13 million in the to-be-reported quarter.

Continued share buybacks are likely to have aided the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
