Cboe Global Markets reported a fall in second-quarter profit due to impairments, but increased its revenue growth target for the year. The Chicago exchange operator recorded net income allocated to common shareholders for the second quarter at $140.4 million, or $1.33 a share, down from $167.8 million, or $1.57 a share in the same period last year. The impairment of intangible assets recognized in the digital reporting unit caused this decline. Adjusted earnings were $2.15 a share, above analysts’ estimates of $2.10 a share taken from FactSet. Revenue came in at $974 million, surpassing expectations of $565.8 million according to FactSet. Net revenue, excluding the cost of revenue, rose 10% and reached a quarterly record high of $513.8 million, which was also above analysts’ expectations of $514.5 million. Looking ahead, the group expects organic total net revenue growth for 2024 in a range of between 6% and 8%, up from prior guidance of the higher end of 5% to 7%.
