My Picks To Monetize Today's Market Chaos
CME Group, Miami International Holdings, and Western Midstream Partners are my top picks for navigating current market volatility. CME and MIAX offer exposure to volatility-driven trading volumes, with CME providing reliable income and MIAX delivering high-growth potential through market share gains. WES stands out as a stable, high-yield income grower in the Permian Basin, with an 8.4% yield and robust free cash flow coverage.
CME Group's Strength Is Clear, But The Stock Looks Fully Valued
CME Group remains a Hold; shares reflect robust fundamentals but limited near-term upside at 25x forward earnings. CME posted record annual revenue and earnings, with Q4 operating margins near 67% and strong trading volumes in key segments. Recent fee hikes and product innovations provide incremental growth, but future returns hinge on sustained trading activity.
CME Group: Quality Shines Through, But It Doesn't Mean To Buy
CME Group delivered strong Q4 results with revenue up to $1.65B and expanding profit margins. Equity index, metals, and agricultural commodity contracts drove robust fee revenue growth; market data services revenue rose 14.5%. Despite operational excellence and new product launches, CME trades at lofty valuation multiples versus peers, warranting caution.
