CBOE intrinsic value (DCF)

DCF-based fair value estimate vs current market price.

DCF has limited applicability for CBOE

Standard discounted cash flow models produce unreliable output for unprofitable or near-breakeven companies. Revenue-based multiples such as P/S and EV/Sales, combined with the historical valuation position above, give a more reliable read for this stock.

Intrinsic value calculated using discounted cash flow (DCF) model based on projected free cash flows, discount rate, and terminal growth assumptions. A positive margin of safety indicates the current price is below estimated fair value, providing a cushion against estimation error.

Is CBOE overvalued in 2026?

Cboe Global Markets Inc (CBOE) currently trades at $350.48 per share with a market capitalization of $30,863,448,000.00. Based on our multi-factor framework, the stock trades at a fair valuation with a Smart Value Score of 70/100. This score blends growth quality, financial health, and price attractiveness into a single institutional-grade read.

The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 25.2x, below its 5-year median of 28.4x. The PEG ratio of 2.13 indicates the price has run ahead of the underlying growth rate.

Looking at its own history, CBOE is currently trading cheaper than 72% of the last 5Y on P/E. This places it in the 28th percentile of its historical range, a reasonable but unremarkable position.

A standard DCF model does not produce reliable output for CBOE under current conditions. For unprofitable or near-breakeven companies, revenue-based multiples such as EV/Sales and historical P/S percentile are more informative than intrinsic value calculations.

The Piotroski F-Score of 4/9 puts financial quality in a middling range, neither a standout strength nor an obvious red flag.

Bottom line: CBOE trades at a fair valuation on our framework, with a Smart Value Score of 70/100. The valuation is defensible but offers no obvious bargain. Patience or a better entry price may reward disciplined buyers.
