Valuation Multiples

Per-metric breakdown of how CME is priced relative to its sector peers, its own 10-year history, and analyst forward estimates.

Valuation context: For financial institutions, FCF Yield and P/B (in the expanded section) carry more weight than standard earnings multiples. Regulatory capital and accounting differences make P/E less directly comparable.

Value if it traded at the sector-median multiple

What its own history implies

How the Multiples lens works

Five primary multiples surface the headline call; five additional multiples sit one click deeper for context.

Valuation multiples compare a company's market price to its financial fundamentals. The primary grid covers both the equity perspective (P/E, PEG, FCF Yield) and the enterprise value perspective (EV/EBITDA, EV/FCF) so you see how the market prices the company two ways simultaneously.

Price-based multiples use market cap and reflect what equity investors pay. EV-based multiples include debt and are better for comparing companies with different capital structures. The expanded section below adds P/B, P/S, P/FCF, EV/EBIT, and EV/Sales for additional perspective.
