Its platform matches buy and sell orders, clears and settles trades, and earns revenue from transaction fees and market data. The company serves institutional investors, retail investors, and financial intermediaries through a global infrastructure that facilitates trading and data services.

The goal is to power the global economy by creating inclusive markets and helping investors build sustainable financial futures, while also supporting community growth and employee development.

Cboe Global Markets and CNBC have announced a multi-year collaboration bringing daily CNBC programming to Cboe's Chicago trading floor, beginning 6 April. The partnership will deliver real-time analysis of market volatility and options activity across CNBC's linear and digital platforms. The collaboration comes as US options trading reached record levels, with 15.2 billion contracts traded in 2025, up 26% year-on-year. CNBC will utilise proprietary Cboe data and feature a dedicated options reporter covering the market. A broadcast studio on the trading floor is scheduled to open later this year. Cboe's trading floor hosts over 300 brokers and market makers using a hybrid model of open-outcry and electronic trading. CNBC will also broadcast Cboe's opening and closing bell ceremonies as part of the agreement.
Cboe Global Markets has raised investor interest following record fourth-quarter results, with net revenue reaching $671 million, up 28% year-on-year. The exchange operator's derivatives markets revenue surged 38% to $386 million, driven by robust options activity. Operating margins expanded 620 basis points to 67.1%, whilst adjusted earnings per share hit a record $3.06, up 45% year-on-year. Options now represent 65% of total revenue, its highest mix in years, with nine of the ten highest SPX trading days occurring in the fourth quarter or early first quarter. The company is streamlining operations through asset sales in Australia and Canada whilst investing in securities financing and extended-hours trading. International clients now comprise 45% of data sales, supporting structural growth prospects.
Cboe Global Markets has appointed Scott Johnston as executive vice president and chief operating officer, and Heidi Fischer as executive vice president and global head of equities and spot markets. Johnston will assume COO duties from Chris Isaacson, who is retiring on 6 March 2026 after guiding the company through a period of transformation. Fischer will oversee Cboe's global cash equities and spot markets. She joins from TMX Group, bringing over 25 years of industry experience. Johnston, who has more than 40 years in the industry, will join on 17 February 2026. The changes are part of a broader restructuring that includes promoting Alex Dalley to senior vice president overseeing European equities and expanding Jon Weinberg's role to cover global FX and off-exchange trading.
