Intercontinental Exchange Inc. демонстрирует сильные финансовые показатели, такие как чистая прибыль, которая значительно превышает медиану отрасли, а также высокие маржи прибыли. Однако, мультипликаторы, такие как P/E, P/B и P/S, значительно превышают средние значения по отрасли, что может указывать на переоцененность акций. Долговая нагрузка, выраженная через коэффициент долга к капиталу, также выше медианы, что создает некоторые риски. При этом прогнозируемая прибыль на акцию и рост выручки остаются на высоком уровне, что позитивно влияет на оценку компании. Тем не менее, отсутствие дивидендных выплат также может снизить привлекательность акций для некоторых инвесторов. В целом, несмотря на сильные показатели, в свете высоких мультипликаторов и долговой нагрузки, целевая цена может быть подвержена коррекции, чтобы отразить текущее положение дел в компании.

Other Financial Firms Expanding Through Collaborations
In February, Franklin Resources, Inc. BEN and Binance announced the launch of a new off-exchange institutional collateral program, aiming to make digital asset trading safer and more capital-efficient. The launch is based on the strategic partnership between Franklin Resources and Binance announced in September 2025.
The current program enables eligible institutional clients to use tokenized money market fund shares issued through Benji Technology Platform of Franklin as collateral when trading on Binance. Under this plan, the value of the tokenized money market fund shares is mirrored within Binance’s trading system, while the actual assets remain securely held off-exchange in a regulated environment.
In the same month, Apollo Global Management, Inc. APO entered into a strategic partnership with Schroders to develop next-generation wealth and retirement investment solutions for institutional and wealth clients across the United Kingdom and the United States.

Northern Trust Taps ICE ETF Hub to Enter U.S. ETF Servicing Market

(RTTNews) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced settled charges against the New York Stock Exchange LLC (NYSE), imposing a civil penalty of $9 million. The penalty stems from a January 2023 incident in which NYSE failed to conduct opening auctions for more than 2,800 securities.
According to the SEC's order, the disruption occurred on January 24, 2023, when NYSE inadvertently ran its primary and backup trading systems simultaneously. This caused the primary system to incorrectly treat the opening auctions for thousands of securities as already completed, resulting in the auctions not being run.
The SEC found that NYSE lacked written policies and procedures to monitor whether opening auctions had occurred. The exchange was unaware of the full scope of the issue for nearly 90 minutes after trading began. The failure led to market-wide impacts, including price-triggered restrictions, trading pauses in 84 securities, and thousands of canceled trades.
The SEC concluded that NYSE violated Rule 1001(a)(2)(vii) of Regulation Systems Compliance and Integrity (Regulation SCI) and Section 19(g)(1) of the Exchange Act, which requires exchanges to comply with their own rules. Without admitting or denying the findings, NYSE agreed to a cease-and-desist order in addition to the $9 million penalty.

SEC Fines NYSE $9 Mln Over 2023 Trading Disruption

Key Points
The real money might not be in the prediction platforms themselves, but in the companies selling the data, infrastructure, and trading rails that institutional investors rely on.
Prediction market plays offer both stability and high-upside speculation, depending on your risk tolerance.
Prediction markets have ballooned from a niche corner of finance into a $63.5 billion trading volume phenomenon in 2025 alone, a fourfold increase from the prior year. Platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are actively capturing headlines and market share, but neither is publicly traded... yet.
If you want to ride this wave through the stock market, the real opportunities are hiding in plain sight, and one of them costs barely more than a dollar.​

1. Intercontinental Exchange
When Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE: ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, announced a $2 billion investment in Polymarket last October, most headlines focused on how the deal catapulted Shayne Coplan, the company's 27-year-old founder and CEO, into the ranks of the world's youngest self-made billionaires.
While I was happy (and admittedly a little jealous) for Coplan, what struck me more was the signal behind the deal: ICE was basically declaring prediction-market data a new institutional asset class.
The investment valued Polymarket at roughly $9 billion and granted ICE exclusive rights to distribute its event-driven data to institutional capital markets.
Then, in February, ICE launched its Polymarket Signals and Sentiment tool, which converts crowd-sourced prediction market probabilities into structured analytics that trading desks can layer on top of traditional data feeds.
Think about that for a moment. When a major regulatory decision is pending in Washington, NYSE traders don't have to wait for the news to break anymore; they can watch the Polymarket odds shift in real time.
ICE is effectively building a new "sentiment overlay" for the entire financial system. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has called prediction markets "super interesting" and confirmed a team is evaluating them.
ICE is the company most likely to sell them the data, and I think it's a very safe bet this year and beyond.
2. DraftKings
DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) stock has been slaughtered, down over 45% in the past year. But here's the part the market hasn't fully processed: DraftKings Predictions already reaches 38 states, compared to just 26 for its core sportsbook. That means DraftKings has unlocked access to massive markets like California and Texas through federally regulated event contracts, markets where traditional sports betting remains illegal.
CEO Jason Robins has said that Predictions could represent a $10 billion annual gross revenue opportunity and is targeting "hundreds of millions in annual revenue" in the near term.
DraftKings is building two distinct revenue engines here: transaction fees from the customer-facing platform and trading economics from an in-house market-making division it's launching in 2026.
But what I find particularly appealing about this ticker is that the company acquired Railbird, a designated contract market, and plans to mix it into the company by midyear to gain a larger share of the technology stack.
Also, on Super Bowl Sunday, DraftKings Predictions had the second-most downloads in its category and delivered 3x its prior daily trading volume record. With the stock near 52-week lows, the risk-reward looks compelling for patient investors.
3. FiscalNote
This tech stock is the pick that nobody's talking about, and I get why. FiscalNote's market cap has cratered to roughly $17 million. But the company just announced a major expansion into political prediction markets in February 2026, launching a preview at PoliticalPredictions.com.
Here's what makes the stock interesting to me. FiscalNote has spent over a decade building legislative-tracking, regulatory-monitoring, and policy-analytics tools used by corporations, trade associations, and even government agencies. Basically, it already models political and regulatory outcomes, so I think that prediction markets are just a natural extension of its core DNA.
CEO Josh Resnik described the move as "an evolution of what we've been doing for years," positioning FiscalNote to bring proprietary policy data sets and AI capabilities into a category that institutional players are increasingly taking seriously.
The company is exploring models in which advocacy organizations could sponsor prediction markets tied to policy issues, creating entirely new revenue streams.
With a price-to-sales ratio of just 0.13, this is a speculative and riskier play in my opinion. It's also the kind of asymmetric bet that can define a portfolio if the prediction market category truly takes off.

Cost-cutting drove a 17% drop in G&A expenses, narrowing adjusted EBITDA loss to $3.8 million. Share buybacks totaling $1.4 million since May 2024 signal management confidence.
However, liquidity is constrained with just $6.8 million in credit headroom and $1.9 million in cash. Net losses persist at $13.3 million YTD, with equity sharply reduced. Active customers and order volume are declining, while rising return reserves and gift card liabilities introduce cash flow risk.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – February 9, 2026 – Today, Zacks Equity Research discusses S&P Global SPGI, Intercontinental Exchange ICE, CME Group CME, Nasdaq Inc. NDAQ and Cboe Global Markets CBOE.
Industry: Securities & Exchanges
Link: https://www.zacks.com/commentary/2835878/5-securities-exchanges-stocks-to-watch-amid-increased-volatility
A compelling and diversified product portfolio helps drive the revenues of Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry players. A rise in trading volumes, product expansion through prudent acquisitions and the increased adoption of a greater number of crypto assets are expected to benefit S&P Global, Intercontinental Exchange, CME Group, Nasdaq Inc. and Cboe Global Markets.
Increased focus on accelerating their non-trading revenue base, which comprises market technology, listing and information revenues, infuses dynamism in the business profile of the industry players. The industry is expected to get an impetus under the Trump administration, given his crypto favoritism. The sector is also witnessing increased retail trading.
However, alterations in investment patterns and priorities and compliance with regulations pose challenges. With the increasing digitization of financial markets, cyber threats and data breaches continue to pose serious risks.
Mergers and acquisitions are gaining momentum across the industry, with companies leveraging strategic partnerships and acquisitions to fuel growth and innovation. These initiatives help unlock new markets, protect domestic market share, diversify product offerings and reinforce trading platforms. Deloitte observes that exchanges are increasingly embracing consolidation to adapt to rapidly changing technological, regulatory and competitive environments.
About the Industry
The Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry comprises companies that operate electronic marketplaces, which facilitate the buying and selling of stocks, stock options and bonds or commodity contracts. They facilitate trading across a diverse range of products in multiple asset classes and geographies.
The companies generate revenues from fees received from the listed companies on their exchanges. They also provide a range of data and listing services to global financial and commodity markets, including pricing and reference data, exchange data, analytics, feeds, index services, investments, risk management, desktops, and connectivity solutions, as well as corporate and ETF listing services, on the cash equity exchanges.
The industry is witnessing increased adoption of crypto assets. Yet industry players have to comply with a number of regulations, resulting in challenges.
4 Trends Shaping the Future of the Securities and Exchanges Industry
Volatility Fueling Trading Volume: Industry revenues are primarily driven by product and service offerings, including trade execution, clearing and settlement of securities and commodities, listing services, and trading and clearing systems. Growth in trading volumes—often fueled by market volatility—boosts transaction and clearing fees, a key revenue driver.
A supportive crypto environment, with lighter regulation and broader adoption of digital assets, is expected to further lift trading activity and fees. Profitability hinges on maximizing transaction revenues while controlling costs. Technavio estimates the global securities exchanges market will reach $49.6 billion by 2028, growing at a 12.1% CAGR, supported by rising investment demand and cryptocurrency adoption.
Diversification Into Other Recurring Revenue Sources: Securities exchanges are increasingly focusing on recurring revenues to lower reliance on unpredictable trading-driven income. With market volumes often fluctuating, stable revenue streams from data services, listings, clearing, and technology platforms offer consistent cash flows and stronger earnings stability.
These revenues also support growth by addressing rising demand for market data, compliance, ESG offerings and digital asset infrastructure. The players are strengthening their presence in the evolving landscape and thereby enhancing scalability and margins. Increasing focus on accelerating the non-trading revenue base also infuses dynamism in the business profiles of the industry participants. In fact, exchanges are focusing on market data monetization and earning more from data feeds and analytics.
Mergers and Acquisitions: Mergers and acquisitions are gaining momentum across the industry, with companies leveraging strategic partnerships and acquisitions to fuel growth and innovation. These initiatives help unlock new markets, protect domestic market share, diversify product offerings and reinforce trading platforms. Deloitte observes that exchanges are increasingly embracing consolidation to adapt to rapidly changing technological, regulatory and competitive environments.
Continuous Investment in Technology: Industry players are intensifying technology investments to enhance competitiveness and adaptability. There is growing emphasis on creating strategic market models through advanced tools, especially AI, while continually upgrading products and services.
Exchanges are increasingly leveraging AI and blockchain to strengthen efficiency and resilience. Recent advancements use machine learning, automation, and algorithms to improve trading accuracy, reduce cyber threats and limit human errors, thereby accelerating trading speed. Moreover, industry players are focusing on automating non-trading operations, which significantly contribute to revenue generation and support sustainable long-term growth.

Zacks Industry Outlook Highlights S&P Global, Intercontinental Exchange, CME Group, Nasdaq and Cboe Global

A compelling and diversified product portfolio helps drive the revenues of Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry players. A rise in trading volumes, product expansion through prudent acquisitions and the increased adoption of a greater number of crypto assets are expected to benefit S&P Global SPGI, Intercontinental Exchange ICE, CME Group CME, Nasdaq Inc. NDAQ and Cboe Global Markets CBOE. Increased focus on accelerating their non-trading revenue base, which comprises market technology, listing and information revenues, infuses dynamism in the business profile of the industry players. The industry is expected to get an impetus under the Trump administration, given his crypto favoritism. The sector is also witnessing increased retail trading.
However, alterations in investment patterns and priorities and compliance with regulations pose challenges. With the increasing digitization of financial markets, cyber threats and data breaches continue to pose serious risks.
Mergers and acquisitions are gaining momentum across the industry, with companies leveraging strategic partnerships and acquisitions to fuel growth and innovation. These initiatives help unlock new markets, protect domestic market share, diversify product offerings and reinforce trading platforms. Deloitte observes that exchanges are increasingly embracing consolidation to adapt to rapidly changing technological, regulatory and competitive environments.
About the Industry
The Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry comprises companies that operate electronic marketplaces, which facilitate the buying and selling of stocks, stock options and bonds or commodity contracts. They facilitate trading across a diverse range of products in multiple asset classes and geographies. The companies generate revenues from fees received from the listed companies on their exchanges. They also provide a range of data and listing services to global financial and commodity markets, including pricing and reference data, exchange data, analytics, feeds, index services, investments, risk management, desktops, and connectivity solutions, as well as corporate and ETF listing services, on the cash equity exchanges. The industry is witnessing increased adoption of crypto assets. Yet, industry players have to comply with a number of regulations, resulting in challenges.
4 Trends Shaping the Future of the Securities and Exchanges Industry
Volatility Fueling Trading Volume: Industry revenues are primarily driven by product and service offerings, including trade execution, clearing and settlement of securities and commodities, listing services, and trading and clearing systems. Growth in trading volumes—often fueled by market volatility—boosts transaction and clearing fees, a key revenue driver. A supportive crypto environment, with lighter regulation and broader adoption of digital assets, is expected to further lift trading activity and fees. Profitability hinges on maximizing transaction revenues while controlling costs. Technavio estimates the global securities exchanges market will reach $49.6 billion by 2028, growing at a 12.1% CAGR, supported by rising investment demand and cryptocurrency adoption.
Diversification Into Other Recurring Revenue Sources: Securities exchanges are increasingly focusing on recurring revenues to lower reliance on unpredictable trading-driven income. With market volumes often fluctuating, stable revenue streams from data services, listings, clearing, and technology platforms offer consistent cash flows and stronger earnings stability. These revenues also support growth by addressing rising demand for market data, compliance, ESG offerings and digital asset infrastructure. The players are strengthening their presence in the evolving landscape and thereby enhancing scalability and margins. Increasing focus on accelerating the non-trading revenue base also infuses dynamism in the business profiles of the industry participants. In fact, exchanges are focusing on market data monetization and earning more from data feeds and analytics.
Mergers and Acquisitions: Mergers and acquisitions are gaining momentum across the industry, with companies leveraging strategic partnerships and acquisitions to fuel growth and innovation. These initiatives help unlock new markets, protect domestic market share, diversify product offerings and reinforce trading platforms. Deloitte observes that exchanges are increasingly embracing consolidation to adapt to rapidly changing technological, regulatory and competitive environments.
Continuous Investment in Technology: Industry players are intensifying technology investments to enhance competitiveness and adaptability. There is growing emphasis on creating strategic market models through advanced tools, especially AI, while continually upgrading products and services. Exchanges are increasingly leveraging AI and blockchain to strengthen efficiency and resilience. Recent advancements use machine learning, automation, and algorithms to improve trading accuracy, reduce cyber threats and limit human errors, thereby accelerating trading speed. Moreover, industry players are focusing on automating non-trading operations, which significantly contribute to revenue generation and support sustainable long-term growth.

What's Next for ICE?
While ICE has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for ICE was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.86 on $2.61 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $7.56 on $10.51 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Securities and Exchanges is currently in the top 12% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
