A peer-relative read for financials on profitability (ROE), valuation, and covered income — the quality-growth (FCF/ROIC) screen doesn't apply to balance-sheet businesses. Not comparable to the 0–100 quality-growth score shown on other stocks.

Why now
Financial Data & Stock Exchanges · market cap $31.8b. 18% off the 52-week high of $371.18. Revenue growing +15%, comfortably above the S&P median. 15 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $320.47 (implying +5% upside).
Moat
Net margin 27% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. ROE 26% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 139% of net income, helped by cash released from working capital ($446m) that doesn't repeat every year.
Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
Horizon
1-3 yr $320.47 (15-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $469.20 at ~9% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $696.02 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (CBOE): score, valuation & FAQ

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (CBOE) is a Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (B+) and D/E (B+).

Is CBOE a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings grades CBOE on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by Rev (B+) and D/E (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Cboe Global Markets, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

How does Bull Rankings grade CBOE?

As a bank, insurer or REIT, CBOE isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on Rev (B+) and D/E (B+).

Is CBOE overvalued or undervalued?

We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow value for CBOE, and not because the business is unprofitable. For a lender, insurer or property trust, "free cash flow" measures balance-sheet growth rather than owner earnings — loan originations and repayments run through operating cash flow — so discounting it would produce a confident-looking number with nothing behind it. CBOE is judged on book value, return on equity and income cover instead, which is what the financial-strength card shows.

What are the main risks of investing in CBOE?

Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.
