CME Group's third-quarter results beat expectations on revenue, adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS.
Adjusted EPS of $3.02 marks a 13% gain year over year, pushing back on concerns that slowing rate volatility would drag on trading volumes and fee income.
On a GAAP basis, the quarter showed only a modest gap between reported and adjusted figures.
Beating on revenue, operating income and earnings in the same quarter removes the usual caveat that one strong line was masking weakness elsewhere. Investors keeping an eye on the stock will focus on whether management's forward commentary points to sustained volume trends heading into year-end.
