Like the stock price of any publicly traded company, Cboe Global Markets' stock price can be affected by a number of variables, such as:

• Financial performance: Cboe's quarterly and annual financial results play a significant role in determining its stock price. Strong revenue growth, profitability, and earnings can have a positive impact while declining performance can lead to a decrease in stock price.
• General market sentiment, including investor optimism or pessimism about the broader economy and financial markets, can influence Cboe's stock price. Positive sentiment can lead to higher stock prices, while negative sentiment can drive prices down.
• Trends within the financial industry, particularly in the options and derivatives markets, can impact Cboe's stock price. Changes in trading volumes, regulatory developments, and shifts in market dynamics can all have an effect.
• Competitive landscape: Cboe operates in a competitive environment, and developments among its competitors can affect its stock price. Changes in market share, new product offerings, or strategic moves by rival exchanges can be significant.
• Changes in interest rates can impact the attractiveness of financial assets, including stocks. Higher interest rates may make bonds and other interest-bearing securities more appealing to investors, potentially reducing demand for equities like Cboe.

• The regulatory environment can have a profound impact on financial companies like Cboe. Changes in regulations related to financial markets, trading, or derivatives can affect the company's operations and profitability.
• Company-specific news: Events and news related to Cboe itself, such as acquisitions, partnerships, leadership changes, or legal issues, can directly impact its stock price.
• Global events: Geopolitical events, natural disasters, or global crises can create uncertainty in the financial markets, which may lead to increased volatility in Cboe's stock price.
• Investor perceptions, including analyst recommendations and investor sentiment on social media and financial news outlets, can influence short-term stock price movements.
