Analysis

Hope premium

CME Group Inc. is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium.

On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 21.0×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 7% a year, against analyst forecasts of 7%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 16/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

No flags apply to this company at this time: accounts, balance sheet, and cash quality all pass. A clean bill of health is meaningful, not just the absence of a warning. This analysis describes numbers; it is not investment advice.
