CBOE’s strength lies in organic growth, as reflected in its revenue growth story. We estimate the 2026 top line to witness a three-year CAGR of 2.8%, primarily driven by transaction fees. CBOE anticipates organic total net revenue growth in the range of 5-7% in 2024, in line with medium-term organic total net revenue expectations. A volatile market drives trading volume, which, in turn, fuels transaction fees.
Improvement in recurring non-transaction revenues continues to drive the top line. CBOE estimates Data and Access Solutions organic net revenue growth in the range of 7%-10% in 2023. We estimate access and capacity fees in 2026 to witness a three-year CAGR of 5.8% and market data revenues to register a three-year CAGR of 4.7%.
Its inorganic growth story is also impressive. Acquisitions have helped it achieve a greater global breadth of services and products as well as new distribution channels apart from generating revenues and cost synergies.
CBOE remains committed to improving margins through cost management. It expects 2024 expense in the range of $798 million to $808 million.
