For fiscal 2026, Cboe raised its organic total net revenue growth target to “high teens” from “mid to high teens” and its Data Vantage organic net revenue growth target to “mid teens” from “low teens.” It lowered adjusted operating expense guidance to $830–$845 million from $838–$853 million. The company reaffirmed 2026 capital expenditures of $98–$108 million and an adjusted effective tax rate of 27.5%–29.5%. Guidance reflects announced business discontinuations and planned cost reductions, and excludes the 2025 and 2026 impact of Cboe Australia from organic growth calculations following its sale.
