FCF Yield

CBOE’s current free cash flow (FCF) yield of 6.0% means that for every $100 of its market value, the company generated $6.00 in free cash flow last year — a measure of how much cash remains after capital spending, often used to gauge how cheaply a stock generates cash.

This yield sits above the sector median of 4.2%, placing CBOE in the 70th percentile among its peers, indicating a relatively higher cash return compared to the typical competitor. The year-over-year change is not available, but the quarter-over-quarter shift shows an increase of 36.4% from the prior quarter’s 4.4% to the current 6.0%. A yield above the sector median combined with a strong recent quarterly improvement suggests the stock is becoming more attractive from a valuation standpoint, though the limited historical data points temper the signal. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the yield is above average and improving, but not at a level that alone justifies a bullish call given the lack of long-term trend evidence.
