Cboe Global Markets stock holds after Q2 revenue jumps 25%
Published on 08/24/2026 at 08:42 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Cboe Global Markets stock (US12514G1085) is tied to Q2 2026 revenue of $731.6 million and diluted EPS of $3.35, while the shares carry a $31.40 billion market cap as of August 22, 2026.
The latest reported quarter showed net revenue up 25% year over year, and the operating margin widened to 65.1% as operating expenses rose 3%. That mix matters because Cboe is still converting a larger slice of trading and data activity into profit.
Options remain the core driver
Options net revenue climbed 30% to $473.9 million in Q2 2026, making the segment the main engine behind the quarter. The same period also showed organic net revenue growth guidance raised to the mid-to-high teens, which gives the current setup a clearer growth frame.
Capital spending guidance moved higher too, while adjusted operating expense guidance stayed at $838 million to $853 million. The comparison is direct: revenue rose 25% year over year, but expenses advanced only 3%.
What the numbers say
The market cap of $31.40 billion, the Q2 2026 net revenue of $731.6 million, and the diluted EPS of $3.35 give investors three current reference points in one picture. The key contrast is that profit growth outpaced revenue growth, with EPS up 50% year over year.
That is a stronger signal than a simple top-line beat. It shows the business is scaling its earnings power even as operating costs stay relatively controlled.
How the model makes money
Cboe Global Markets runs exchange venues and market data businesses, with options trading at the center of its mix. In the latest quarter, that structure helped the company deliver 65.1% GAAP operating margin and $473.9 million of options net revenue.
Stock level and context
The shares are still best read against the company's own earnings power, not just the broader market tone. As of August 22, 2026, the market capitalization stood at $31.40 billion.
