CBOE

CME

Piper Sandler analyst Patrick Moley has reiterated an Overweight rating on Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (CBOE) and raised the price target to $174 from $160. The analyst expects CBOE to report its 5th consecutive record quarter for index options volumes and the 10th consecutive QoQ increase in volumes. CBOE shares are up 3.1% since the former CEO resigned, and the analyst suspects this is due to investors pricing in greater odds of a potential sale following the CEO's departure. CME Group Inc (CME) is considered the most likely acquirer if a sale occurs.
