Cboe Global Markets stock turns to derivatives and data

Cboe Global Markets stock (US12514G1085) turned toward derivatives, data and new products after management used the Barclays 24th Annual Global Financial Services Conference on September 16, 2026 to outline the next phase of the business. The same session said the company has already exited marginal cash equities businesses and is now leaning into event contracts, clearing and data growth, according to Investing.com.

SPX volume stays central

For investors, the most concrete sign in the conference transcript was the scale of the core options franchise: Cboe said SPX volume in the second quarter of 2024 reached about 5 million contracts, with 3.1 million 0DTE contracts and roughly 62 percent of SPX volume coming from zero-day trading, according to Investing.com. The same source said 30- to 60-day options expiries rose 14 percent to 15 percent year over year, while 90-plus-day expiries increased 28 percent.

Cboe also said its adjusted operating EBITDA margin in the second quarter of 2026 was about 72 percent, up 6 percentage points from the second quarter of 2025, and that EBITDA reached USD 1.93 billion over the last twelve months as of Q2 2026, supported by revenue of USD 5.06 billion and revenue growth of nearly 12 percent, according to Investing.com. Prashant Bhatia, Cboe's enterprise strategy chief, also said in the same session that the company raised its quarterly dividend by 19 percent in August.
