Cboe Global Markets Reports Results for Third Quarter 2026

Craig Donohue, Chief Executive Officer of Cboe Global Markets

“Our strong momentum continued in the third quarter as we took important steps to advance our growth strategy. First, we extended our exclusive S&P license through 2051, providing certainty and continuity for our SPX and VIX franchises. Second, building upon our history of innovation, we advanced our Cboe Predicts offering and our clearing capabilities through the quarter, and recently received the SEC approvals needed to list and clear our company-KPI event contracts, in anticipation of a November launch. Together, these accomplishments strengthen our core business and enhance our ability to drive growth and create shareholder value.”

Jill Griebenow, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of Cboe Global Markets
