Stars
Index Options Suite (SPX and VIX)
The proprietary index options suite, led by S&P 500 Index (SPX) and Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) options, is a Star in CBOE Global Markets’ BCG matrix, with SPX averaging 3.9 million contracts daily and VIX hitting a record 862,000 daily in 2025.
These volumes gave Cboe a dominant share of global listed derivatives flows in 2025, driving fee growth and high-margin trading revenue.
The products enjoy near-monopoly status for institutional volatility hedging, but sustaining leadership needs ongoing tech spend and expanded global distribution.
Short-Dated 0DTE Options
Zero-days-to-expiry (0DTE) options became a high-growth Stars segment, hitting 59% of total SPX volume by end-2025 with average daily SPX 0DTE volume at 2.3 million contracts.
Cboe, as market leader, must defend share aggressively and invest in latency, clearing capacity, and risk infrastructure to handle multi-million contract daily spikes.
Cboe Data Vantage
Data Vantage is a Star: high-growth, high-margin market data and analytics within CBOE Global Markets, posting 9–12% revenue growth in 2025 and contributing roughly $220–260M to group subscription revenues.
It holds a leading share in proprietary exchange data niches, driven by unit sales plus new offerings—nanosecond time-stamping and dedicated cores—boosting ARR and increasing average contract value by ~18% in 2025.
Because market data is critical for algorithmic trading, Data Vantage’s expanding user base and high retention forecast a transition from Star to a large Cash Cow as customers mature and margins stabilize above 60%.
European Cash Equities
Cboe Europe Equities hit a record 25% market share in 2025, with average daily notional volume of €12.8 billion, marking high growth and clear market leadership in a fragmented European cash equities market.
The segment’s strength rests on innovative venues like Periodic Auctions and BIDS Europe and requires continued investment in pan‑European clearing and trading tech to defend share versus national exchanges and MTFs.
- 2025 market share 25%
- Avg daily notional €12.8bn
- Key products: Periodic Auctions, BIDS Europe
- Need: pan‑EU clearing & trading upgrades
Global FX Spot Trading
Global FX Spot Trading: Cboe reported record spot average daily notional volumes of $49.7 billion in 2025, reflecting strong share gains in a competitive global FX market.
The business leads in electronic FX spot, benefiting from a secular shift to transparent, exchange-style currency trading and growing client adoption.
It generates substantial cash flow but needs ongoing capital expenditure to expand global liquidity pools and tech infrastructure to sustain high growth.
- 2025 ADNV $49.7B
- Leading electronic FX spot market position
- High cash generation; ongoing capex required
- Focus: liquidity expansion, global tech footprint
Cboe 2025: SPX 3.9M/day, VIX 862k, Data Vantage $240M ARR, EU Equities 25%
Stars: proprietary index options (SPX avg 3.9M/day; VIX peak 862k/day 2025), 0DTE 59% of SPX (2.3M/day); Data Vantage rev growth 9–12% (2025) ~$240M ARR; Cboe Europe equities 25% share, €12.8B ADNV; FX spot ADNV $49.7B (2025).

Cash Cows
Multi-Listed Options
Multi-listed options are a Cash Cow: mature, high-share contracts that generated steady transaction and clearing fees to fund growth; in 2025 they traded 3.4 billion contracts, securing Cboe Global Markets’ dominant U.S. position despite steep price competition.
Because the market is stable, Cboe should focus on operational efficiency and infrastructure stability—latency cuts and margin optimizations—to maximize free cash flow rather than heavy new-product marketing.
U.S. Equities On-Exchange
The U.S. Equities on-exchange business is a classic Cash Cow in a mature market dominated by NYSE and Nasdaq, with Cboe’s share at about 9.4%–10.5% in 2025 and average daily ADV (average daily volume) ~1.1 billion shares supporting steady order flow revenue.
It generates high-margin revenue from transaction fees and access charges—Cboe reported equities trading revenue of $530 million in FY 2024, running-rate margins above 60% in 2025.
Minimal capex is needed to sustain matching engines and connectivity, so free cash flow is redirected to growth initiatives like digital assets and 0DTE products, which received targeted R&D and M&A funding in 2024–2025.
Access and Capacity Fees
Access and capacity fees generate recurring, high-margin cash for Cboe: in 2024 connectivity and colocation fees contributed roughly $220m, about 12% of total non-trading revenue, reflecting captive demand for access to Cboe’s unique liquidity and proprietary products.
Cboe Clear Europe
Cboe Clear Europe is a leading pan-European clearing house with a stable, high market share in the mature European clearing landscape, acting as a utility-like central counterparty supporting multiple trading venues.
In 2025 net settlement volumes rose 22%, reflecting resilience and operational efficiency; the unit delivers steady cash flow, low marketing needs, and helps fund CBOE Global Markets’ strategic realignment and dividend policy.
- 2025 net settlement +22%
- Mature, high market share across European venues
- Reliable cash flow; low marketing spend
- Supports CBOE dividends and strategic shift
U.S. Equities Off-Exchange (BIDS Trading)
The off-exchange segment, powered by BIDS Trading, is a mature leader in block trading and dark pools, reporting a record ADV of 155 million matched shares in 2025 and holding ~17% market share.
It is a go-to venue for institutions executing large orders with low market impact, supplying stable, diversified revenue that offsets CBOE Global Markets’ more volatile on-exchange fees.
- 2025 ADV: 155 million matched shares
- Approx. market share: 17%
- Primary users: institutional block trades, dark liquidity
- Revenue role: stable, diversified vs on-exchange fees
High‑Margin Cash Cows: Options, U.S. Equities, Clear Europe & BIDS Fuel Growth
Cash Cows: multi-listed options (3.4B contracts, 2025), U.S. on-exchange equities (9.4–10.5% share; ~1.1B ADV), Cboe Clear Europe (net settlement +22% in 2025), BIDS off-exchange (155M ADV; ~17% share); these units drive high-margin recurring fees (~$530M equities rev 2024; ~$220M connectivity 2024) and fund growth/dividends.
| Unit | 2025 Key | Revenue/Note |
|---|---|---|
| Options | 3.4B contracts | Dominant U.S. fees |
| U.S. Equities | 9.4–10.5% share; ~1.1B ADV | $530M rev (FY24) |
| Clear Europe | Net settlement +22% | Utility-like cash flow |
| BIDS | 155M ADV; ~17% share | Stable block-trade revenue |
