Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
In summary, Cboe delivered an outstanding first quarter to start the year, continuing the momentum of our record 2022
So we see great benefits of that global network for BIDS bringing benefit to the local Canadian marketplace there
Roughly the market share has improved, and we've been very pleased to see that
So the -- we reported in the prepared remarks there the record volumes that we've seen in particular, in February, the tightening of the spread, the depths improving that
But we feel good about that in the aggregate as far as helping to contribute again getting us back to that growth rate that we had laid out
We believe that the more information and transparency that we have into the market, the better informed customers, traders will be
Each and every quarter, we have built upon our strong foundation, and this quarter is no different
I'm pleased to report on record first quarter earnings for Cboe, reflecting the continued endurance of our business
During the quarter, we grew net revenue by 13% year-over-year to a record $471 million and adjusted EPS by 10% to a record $1.90
These record-breaking first quarter results were driven by strong volumes across our Derivatives franchise, specifically our proprietary index option products and the continued global expansion of our Data and Access Solutions business
Our Derivatives business delivered another outstanding quarter as total net revenue increased 29% driven by the strength of our index options and volatility products and solid volumes in multi-list options trading
Our 50-year legacy is built on trust, relentless innovation and a drive to disrupt the status quo, powered by the exceptional strength of our people
I'm extremely proud of our people, past and present, who helped build an incredible company and continue to chart the future success for Cboe
In summary, the first quarter of 2023 was an excellent start to the year
Overall, we remain well positioned to invest in the business, support our dividend and opportunistically repurchase shares when we believe our stock price do not adequately reflect the underlying fundamentals of our business as we did in the first quarter
This remains above our medium-term guidance of 5% to 7% introduced at our Investor Day 1.5 years ago, a function of our confidence in the durable growth of our business and the progress we are seeing behind the investments we have made to increase the access and distribution of our products and markets globally
We believe the investments we are making today position Cboe well to generate attractive returns in the years ahead
We are experiencing new global customer wins in risk and market analytics and see opportunities coming online in distribution
We also anticipate solid trends from Cboe Global Indices with good momentum around index licensing
Building on the strong momentum we saw last quarter, our Mini SPX options contract, known by the ticker XSP, increased 195% year-over-year
And to that positive momentum is the enhanced distribution that Cboe Global Cloud now provides, offering incremental sales potential for our suite of data products
Net revenues were up a solid 9% in the first quarter, up 6.2% on an organic basis
We also continue to see increased demand from our non-U.S
As a result, we have seen a sizable increase in volume during our global trading hour session with ADV for SPX and VIX options increasing 121% and 118%, respectively, year-over-year
Net transaction fee revenue was up 8% as average daily notional value increased by 7% and market share hit another record at 19% for the quarter
And finally, net revenue in the FX segment was up 8% compared to last year, building on the very strong momentum we saw from the FX segment during 2022
Non-transaction revenues continued to perform well with access and capacity fees up 18% and market data flat to the first quarter of last year
And Cboe Clear Europe also grew market share during the quarter from 32% to 34%
RPC moved 27% higher given the continued positive contribution of index options and a stronger mix of higher-priced SPX options in our index business
Results were driven by robust volumes in our index business and strong revenue per contract or RPC, given the favorable mix shift trends
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
Cash and Spot Markets net revenues decreased 12% during the quarter or 13% on an organic basis as we faced difficult industry volume comparisons versus the first quarter of 2022 and a 3 percentage point impact from a stronger dollar
The Europe and APAC segment reported a 14% year-over-year decline in net revenue
Lower volumes were the primary driver of the decline in net transaction fees, falling 9% during the quarter
However, adjusting for a $3.5 million FX impact given the stronger dollar during the quarter, net revenue fell by a more modest 8% on a constant currency basis, impacted by softer volumes in Europe
The issue is that while a lot of that activity is in the U.S., spot trading is hampered by the regulatory environment
Net transaction fees were flat, given softer industry volumes and market share in our U.S
In addition, access and capacity fees increased 9% as compared to 1Q 222, while market data declined 7% on the back of lower SIP revenue
During the quarter, Cboe Digital continued to onboard new participants as liquidity deepened and our spreads compressed to competitive levels compared to other U.S.-based platforms
on-exchange market share has trended lower on an absolute basis, our share has remained relatively constant when adjusting for the increase in off-exchange market volume activity seen during 1Q
And that trend, we anticipate to continue not because the futures contract is necessarily bad
That's a -- to future churn, and that's not a bad thing
First quarter net revenue was flat in the future segment as a 4% decline in net transaction fees was offset by an increase in access and capacity fees
And that is not to take away from a very vibrant and liquid market across the street
