About CME Group
Based in Chicago, CME Group operates exchanges giving investors, suppliers, and businesses the ability to trade futures and derivatives based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign currencies, energy, metals, and commodities. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange was founded in 1898 and in 2002 completed its IPO. Since then, CME Group has consolidated parts of the industry by merging with crosstown rival CBOT Holdings in 2007 before acquiring Nymex Holdings in 2008 and NEX in 2018. In addition, the company has a 27% stake in S&P Dow Jones Indices, making the Chicago Mercantile Exchange the exclusive venue to trade and clear S&P futures contracts. Through CME's acquisition of NEX, it also expanded into cash foreign exchange, fixed-income trading, and collateral optimization.

What the Analysts think about CME Group
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for CME Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
CME Group beat analyst expectations in Q2 2025, posting $1.07 billion in net profit and record average daily volumes of 30.2 million contracts, fueled by heightened volatility and increased new retail trading. (Reuters)
In Q1 2025, CME set a revenue record at $1.64 billion, up 10% from a year earlier, and grew profit 12% to $956 million. Contract volumes averaged 29.8 million daily, a 13% jump. (Reuters)
CME’s planned rollout of cash-settled XRP futures on May 19, 2025, pending regulatory nod, broadens its cryptocurrency suite and addresses rising institutional and retail interest beyond Bitcoin and Ether. (Reuters)
Operating expenses unexpectedly rose by 1.1% to $534.4 million in Q1 2025, led by increased technology investments. This caused EPS to narrowly miss expectations and could squeeze margins if costs keep rising. (Reuters)
CME may face challenges from new rivals in derivatives clearing, especially with the launch of FMX Futures by BGC Group, potentially reducing market share and pressuring trading fees. (Reuters)
Even though CME’s share price climbed 18.3% in 2025, it lagged behind Cboe Global and Intercontinental Exchange, fueling concerns about valuation and investor preference. (Reuters)
