The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- CME closes above its 50-day average ($280.95), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($280.35): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $305.64, CME is 7.1% below its 1-year high of $329.16, set on March 3, 2026, and 40.0% above its 1-year low of $218.31 (June 29, 2026).
- Over the past month CME rose 16.2%, from $263.14 to $305.64.
- CME trades at 25.1x its last twelve months of earnings and 23.1x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 8.5% higher.
- Its P/E is 11.9% below the 28.4x median of the 3 other financial data & stock exchanges companies we track (SPGI, ICE, MCO).
- CME's 30-day volatility, 26.4% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.7%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 0.18: over five years of monthly returns, CME moved about 0.18% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 0.4x CME's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $280.95 (−8.1% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $280.35 (−8.3%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $329.16 (+7.7%) would be a new 1-year high; below $218.31 (−28.6%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for CME, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under financial data & stock exchanges among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
- Every sentence here is written by code from those figures, refreshed daily; nobody edits it for CME by hand. It describes what the price and the multiples have done, not what they will do, and it is not advice.
