CME Group Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Zacks Rank: CME Group currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3.
Factors Likely to Shape Q2 Results
CME Group’s second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from a diverse product portfolio, increased volatility and a strong market position.
Revenues are likely to have benefited from an increase in market data and information services, clearing, transaction fees and other revenues.
Higher trading volumes across asset classes are likely to have driven clearing and transaction fees. We expect clearing and transaction fees to be $1.3 billion, indicating a 7.7% increase from the year-ago reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter clearing and transaction fees is pegged at $1.4 billion, indicating a rise of 9.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
CME reported a record quarterly average daily volume of 30.2 million contracts in the second quarter, up 16% year over year. This was driven by record quarterly volume in Interest Rate, Agricultural‌ and Metals products. International ADV reached a record 9.2 million contracts, up 18% year on year.
Market data and information services revenues are likely to have gained from price increases for certain products, a rise in device counts, higher custody fees, as well as improvements in co-location and other connectivity fees. We expect the figure to be $196.7 million, indicating a 12.4% increase from the year-ago reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter market data and information services revenues is pegged at $195 million, indicating an increase of 11.4% from the year-ago reported figure.
Expenses are likely to have increased in the to-be-reported quarter due to higher compensation and benefits and technology expenses. We anticipate expenses to be $513.9 million in the to-be-reported quarter, indicating an 8.4% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
Other Stocks to Consider
Here are three finance stocks you may want to consider, as our model shows that these also have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat.
Nasdaq, Inc. NDAQ has an Earnings ESP of +0.47% and carries a Zacks Rank #2 at present. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2025 earnings is pegged at 80 cents, indicating a year-over-year increase of 15.9 %. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Is a Beat in the Cards for CME Group This Earnings Season?

Looking for a stock that has been consistently beating earnings estimates and might be well positioned to keep the streak alive in its next quarterly report? IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), which belongs to the Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry, could be a great candidate to consider.
This owner of the New York Stock Exchange and other stock markets has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 1.59%.
For the most recent quarter, ICE was expected to post earnings of $1.72 per share, but it reported $1.7 per share instead, representing a surprise of 1.18%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $1.49 per share, while it actually produced $1.52 per share, a surprise of 2.01%.
Price and EPS Surprise
Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for ICE lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
ICE currently has an Earnings ESP of +0.57%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on July 31, 2025.
With the Earnings ESP metric, it's important to note that a negative value reduces its predictive power; however, a negative Earnings ESP does not indicate an earnings miss.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, though this is not the only reason why their shares gain. Additionally, some stocks may remain stable even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Will ICE (ICE) Beat Estimates Again in Its Next Earnings Report?

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the Vanguard Mega Cap Value ETF (Symbol: MGV), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $144.24 per unit.
With MGV trading at a recent price near $131.35 per unit, that means that analysts see 9.81% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of MGV's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Berkshire Hathaway Inc (Symbol: BRK.A), Intercontinental Exchange Inc (Symbol: ICE), and Exxon Mobil Corp (Symbol: XOM). Although BRK.A has traded at a recent price of $707681.00/share, the average analyst target is 10.65% higher at $783033.00/share. Similarly, ICE has 10.52% upside from the recent share price of $180.80 if the average analyst target price of $199.82/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting XOM to reach a target price of $123.39/share, which is 9.94% above the recent price of $112.23. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of BRK.A, ICE, and XOM:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Add Up The Parts: MGV Could Be Worth $144

Last Friday, the three most widely followed benchmark indexes closed a losing week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1%, 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively.
The pullback stemmed from renewed U.S. tariff threats. Higher levies on Canada, the European Union and other countries have unnerved markets and raised concerns about economic growth and inflation. Despite this, many investors shrugged off the headlines, focusing on robust earnings from airlines and consumer stocks and a still-resilient economy.
Yet, caution prevailed as markets await key CPI data due this week. Investors need to assess more reports coming in from the second-quarter earnings season to gauge how tariffs may erode corporate profits.
Regardless of market conditions, we, here at Zacks, provide investors with unbiased guidance on how to beat the market.
As usual, Zacks Research guided investors over the past three months with its time-tested methodologies. Given the prevailing market uncertainty, you may want to look at our feats to prepare better for your next action.
Here are some of our key achievements:

A hypothetical portfolio of Zacks Rank # 1 (Strong Buy) stocks returned +6.51% in May 2025, which compares to +4.47% for the S&P 500 index and +4.12% for the equal-weight version of the index. This follows the Zacks Rank # 1 stocks’ +17.96% return in April vs. +15.04% for the S&P 500 index.

Shares of Amarin Corporation plc AMRN and European Wax Center, Inc. EWCZ have surged 62.6% and 49.9% (versus the S&P 500’s 10.5% rise), respectively, since their Zacks Recommendation was upgraded to Outperform on May 12.
While the Zacks Rank is our short-term rating system that is most effective over the one- to three-month holding horizon, the Zacks Recommendation aims to predict performance over the next 6 to 12 months. However, just like the Zacks Rank, the foundation for the Zacks Recommendation is trends in earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Recommendation classifies stocks into three groups — Outperform, Neutral and Underperform. While these recommendations are determined quantitatively, our analysts have the flexibility to override them for the 1100+ stocks they closely follow based on their better judgment of factors such as valuation, industry conditions and management effectiveness than the quantitative model.

The Zacks Earnings Certain Admiral Portfolio (ECAP), which consists of 30 concentrated, ultra-defensive, long-term Buy-and-Hold stocks, returned +3.20% in the first quarter of 2025 vs. the S&P 500 index’s -4.30% decline (SPY ETF).

Zacks ECDP Stocks 3M and Intercontinental Exchange Outperform Peers
3M Company MMM, which is part of our Earnings Certain Dividend Portfolio (ECDP), has returned 14.6% over the past 12 weeks. Another ECDP stock, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. ICE, has climbed 13% over the same time frame. Of course, the inclination of investors toward quality dividend stocks to secure an income stream amid heightened market volatility contributed to this performance.
With an extremely low beta and a history of minimum earnings variability over the last 20+ years, this 25-stock portfolio helps significantly mitigate risk.
The Zacks Earnings Certain Dividend Portfolio (ECDP) returned +5.74% in 2025 Q1 vs. the S&P 500 index’s -2.41% pullback and the Dividend Aristocrats ETF’s (NOBL) +3.11% return.

Today's Featured Research Reports
Microsoft’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Computer - Software industry over the year-to-date period (+17.3% vs. +13.9%). The company capitalizes on AI business momentum and Copilot adoption alongside accelerating Azure cloud infrastructure expansion. Strong Office 365 Commercial demand has been propelling Productivity and Business Processes revenue growth. ARPU increases through E5 and M365 Copilot uptake across key segments.
Intelligent Cloud revenues advance through Azure AI development and AI Copilot business growth. Strategic execution has been enhancing non-AI services through enterprise customer growth and operational scale improvements. Xbox content and services benefit from robust performance across third-party and first-party content offerings.
The Zacks analyst expects that fiscal 2025 net sales will increase 13.7% compared to fiscal 2024. However, elevated operating expenses and Azure investments amid intensifying cloud competition remain concerns for the stakeholders.
(You can read the full research report on Microsoft here >>>)
Shares of NVIDIA have outperformed the Zacks Semiconductor - General industry over the past year (+24.5% vs. +20.8%). The company is benefiting from the strong growth of artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance and accelerated computing. The growing demand for generative AI and large language models using graphic processing units (GPUs) based on NVIDIA’s Hopper and Blackwell architectures is aiding data center revenues.
Continued ramp-up of Ada RTX GPU workstations in the ProViz end market, following the normalization of channel inventory, is acting as a tailwind. Collaborations with over 320 automakers and tier-one suppliers are likely to advance its presence in the autonomous vehicles space.
The Zacks analyst expects NVIDIA’s revenues to witness a CAGR of 28.95% through fiscal 2026-2028. However, a limited supply of Blackwell and Ada GPUs could hinder its ability to meet demand. Rising costs associated with the production of more complex AI systems will hurt margins.
(You can read the full research report on NVIDIA here >>>)
Bank of America’s shares have gained +22.3% over the past year against the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry’s gain of +40.9%. While the company’s high funding costs are still a woe, net interest income (NII) will be positively impacted by relatively higher rates. The Zacks analyst expect NII to record a CAGR of 5.3% by 2027. Plans to open financial centers in new and existing markets and improve digital capabilities will aid the top line. We project total revenues to grow 5.8% in 2025.
Nevertheless, the volatile nature of the trading business is a concern. Despite an impressive trading performance since 2022, it is expected to normalize going forward, thus hurting fee income growth. We project non-interest income to rise only 4.5% in 2025.
Also, steady investments in the franchise will likely keep operating expenses elevated, thus hurting profitability. We expect total non-interest expenses to rise 3% this year. While high funding costs are still a woe,

Shares of BK Technologies have outperformed the Zacks Wireless Equipment industry over the year-to-date period (+58.2% vs. +7.8%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $199.92 million has achieved seven consecutive profitable quarters, driven by margin expansion and operational efficiency. First-quarter 2025 GAAP EPS rose to $0.55 and adjusted EPS to $0.68, supported by a product mix shift to higher-margin BKR 9000 radios and an asset-light model.
Gross margin was 47%, and the 2025 guidance targets exceed $2.80 in adjusted EPS. The BKR 9000 is expanding across public safety verticals and the BK ONE SaaS platform adds high-margin, recurring revenue potential. A growing hardware-software ecosystem aims to boost the addressable market tenfold by 2027.
Strong liquidity funds growth, but risks include federal revenue reliance, execution risk in SaaS adoption, margin pressure from tariffs and delays in mobile product launches. BKTI’s valuation assumes continued execution despite infrastructure and liquidity limitations.

NeurAxis’ shares have gained +10.2% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Medical Info Systems industry’s gain of +18%. This microcap company with market capitalization of $17.61 million targets a large, underserved $8 billion pediatric gut-brain disorder market with its FDA-cleared IB-Stim therapy for functional abdominal pain and dyspepsia, conditions affecting more than 600,000 U.S. children.
Backed by 16 peer-reviewed studies and NASPGHAN guidelines, IB-Stim’s market potential doubled with its May 2025 label expansion. Covered lives grew from 4 million to 53 million, and a permanent CPT code will boost physician adoption and margins.
The RED device clearance opens a $2 billion adult diagnostic market. Risks include high cash burn, slow CPT implementation and reliance on discounted sales. Yet, strong IP and a first-mover edge in a $22 billion market support long-term growth. The valuation suggests that investors are pricing in strong growth potential but remain cautious due to execution and reimbursement risks.

Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

Top Stock Reports for Microsoft, NVIDIA & Bank of America

Last Friday, the three most widely followed benchmark indexes closed a mixed week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average remained virtually unchanged. The S&P 500 declined 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite went up by 0.2%.
The week’s trading was heavily influenced by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and shifting expectations around interest rates. Hopes of de-escalation between Israel and Iran helped lift equities after a midweek dip, while oil prices dropped from recent highs, signaling reduced immediate supply risks.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve held rates steady but hinted at two possible cuts later this year, providing some boost to investor sentiment. Global central bank actions added to the mixed tone, with surprises from the Swiss National Bank and Brazil’s broader risk appetite. Markets now await further clarity from the upcoming congressional testimony by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Regardless of market conditions, we, here at Zacks, provide investors with unbiased guidance on how to beat the market.
As usual, Zacks Research guided investors over the past three months with its time-tested methodologies. Given the prevailing market uncertainty, you may want to look at our feats to prepare better for your next action.
Here are some of our key achievements:
Avino Silver & Gold Mines and WISeKey Surge Following Zacks Rank Upgrade

This hypothetical portfolio has returned -2.59% in 2025 (through June 2nd) vs. -1.12% for the S&P 500 index and -4.41% for the equal-weight version of the index.

While the Zacks Rank is our short-term rating system that is most effective over the one- to three-month holding horizon, the Zacks Recommendation aims to predict performance over the next 6 to 12 months. However, just like the Zacks Rank, the foundation for the Zacks Recommendation is trends in earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Recommendation classifies stocks into three groups — Outperform, Neutral and Underperform. While these recommendations are determined quantitatively, our analysts have the flexibility to override them for the 1100+ stocks they closely follow based on their better judgment of factors such as valuation, industry conditions and management effectiveness than the quantitative model.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Factors Impacting CBOE
Cboe Global’s organic strength lies in a diversified business mix that ensures uninterrupted revenue generation and recurring non-transaction revenues.
CBOE remains on track to grow its recurring non-transaction revenues. Increases in access and capacity fees and proprietary market data fees are likely to boost Data Vantage’s net revenues. Data Vantage is well-positioned to perform well in 2025. CBOE estimates Data Vantage organic net revenue growth to be in the mid to high single-digit range in 2025.
The company achieved a greater global breadth of services and products, as well as new distribution channels, apart from generating revenues and cost synergies through strategic buyouts.
Banking on operational expertise, the company has been strengthening its balance sheet by improving its cash position and lowering its debt balance. Its leverage ratio, as well as the times interest earned, compares favorably with the industry average.
CBOE’s strategic investments are well supported by solid capital management. However, higher expenses remain a major concern.
Cboe Global has been facing intense competition due to increased market consolidation that tends to reduce market share, and this includes both product and price competition.
The company’s investment in European, Canadian and Asia Pacific operations remains exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates through translation of net assets or equity to U.S. dollars. The company is also exposed to credit risk from third parties, including customers, counterparties and clearing agents.
Final Take on CBOE
Cboe Global’s growth strategy of expanding its product line across asset classes, broadening geographic reach, diversifying the business mix with recurring revenues and leveraging technology reflects its operational expertise.
Its wealth distribution remains impressive. CBOE increased dividends for 13 straight years and has $644.5 million left under its current share repurchase authorization. Its discounted valuation also raises hope.
Thus, it is better to adopt a wait-and-see approach for this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stock. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
