Financial Data & Stock Exchanges: Cboe Global Markets, Inc. owns the largest revenue base AND the fastest current growth.

How has Financial Data & Stock Exchanges moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers up to 5.2 years and opens on the 5Y view; the buttons cut it shorter. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 35% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies grew 18% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 14 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
02 · sector relative strength, before individual stocks

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Cboe Global Markets, Inc. has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 76% evidence confidence.
FactSet Research Systems Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
How this score is built, and what the marks mean
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.

Market action
MarketWise, Inc. has the strongest one-year price move in Financial Data & Stock Exchanges at +16.5%. It also leads on Mansfield relative strength against the S&P 500 at +13.2%. 1 of 14 covered companies is above zero on that measure. Every line covers 314 weekly closes through 2026-08-04.
Price and relative strength
Every company, the sector's own index and S&P 500 all start level on the left edge of the window, so only the distance between the lines counts — the highest line has risen the most since then, and the chart at the top of this page is drawn the same way. It opens on one year; the buttons beside it stretch that to three or five.
How far ahead of or behind S&P 500 each company has been running, measured against its own recent average of that comparison, so the flat line at zero IS S&P 500: above it the company is beating the market, below it the market is beating the company. It opens on one year.
The same measure taken against Financial Data & Stock Exchanges itself instead of the whole market, so the flat line at zero is the sector: above it the company is beating its own peers, which is the sharper test of the two. It opens on one year.

For banks, debt is operating funding rather than industrial leverage. Deposits and borrowings are therefore shown as funding-base levels; asset quality, funding cost and liquidity determine whether that funding is attractive.

No company in this Financial Data & Stock Exchanges comparison reports gross NPA on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 14 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out.
Lower gross NPA is better. Improvement means the ratio is falling, so ranks are intentionally inverted.

This Financial Data & Stock Exchanges comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 14 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 2 of the 7 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
Thin comparisons: Funding base, Asset quality have fewer than three usable current readings.

How is the 4-Factor Sector Score calculated?

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. earns the most, at $1,236 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 4 of 14 comparable companies. Cboe Global Markets, Inc. has the fastest profit growth at 53.2%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company earns the highest return on capital?
MSCI Inc. leads on return on assets at 7.3%, across 14 of 14 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Value Line, Inc. screens cheapest at 0.57×.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges stock has the strongest price momentum?
MarketWise, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. scores 60.6 out of 100 with 76% evidence confidence, from 25.4 points on growth and earnings, 16.6 on capital efficiency, 7 on valuation and 11.6 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.
How many Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?
It compares 14 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

The 14 Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies on this page carry $582,192 million of combined market value. S&P Global Inc. is the largest at $121,603 million, about 21% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-08-04.
What is the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges sector's P/B ratio?
The median price-to-book ratio across the 14 Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies on this page is 3.7×, measured on the 11 that report a comparable figure.

This comparison covers 14 listed Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.
Why are some values on this page blank?
A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.
