Cboe Global Markets, Inc. CBOE recently announced that the average daily volume (ADV) for November dipped 0.6% year over year to 7.7 million contracts. The month had 21 trading days in total.
Total contracts for November were 161.6 million, declining 0.6% year over year. Of this, options contracts decreased 1.1% to 155.3 million while futures contracts improved 11.6% to 6.3 million. Options ADV was 7.4 million and Futures ADV was 0.3 million.
CBOE Global Markets has been witnessing a rise in trading volumes over a considerable period of time, largely supported by increasing transaction fees and in turn, boosting revenue growth.
We believe this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) options exchange will be able to retain the revenue momentum in the coming quarters, backed by a strong market position, global reach, prudent acquisitions and a robust portfolio of proprietary products.
