$CME CME Group Inc.

Net Profit Margin: XXXX%

CME owns and operates the world’s most important derivatives exchanges, creating a powerful economic moat.

Why it’s so profitable:
🔹 Monopoly-like position in futures and options trading across key asset classes (interest rates, energy, agriculture).
🔹 Transaction-based revenue with high trading fees and clearing margins.
🔹 Licensing proprietary market data adds high-margin recurring revenue.
🔹 Digital platform reduces variable costs and boosts operating leverage.

CME exemplifies how market infrastructure can scale profitably with minimal capital intensity.
