Cboe Global Markets is an operator of options exchanges and financial data markets, generating revenue from trading commissions, data fees, and prediction products. Cboe Global Markets shows excellent financial health (ROE 26.3%, operating margin 34.6%) and strong growth (revenue +22.9%, earnings +50.2%), although its valuation (P/E 20.1) already discounts part of that dynamism.
