S&P Global Extends Cboe's Exclusive S&P 500 Options License Through 2051
SPGI is trading near its 52-week low of $360.945 (9.6% above the low).
Summary
S&P Dow Jones Indices, a division of S&P Global, signed a 25-year extension of its exclusive licensing agreement with Cboe Global Markets for S&P 500 Index options, running through 2051. The deal locks in a key revenue stream for S&P Global's index business, which benefits from the record 970.6 million SPX options contracts traded in 2025. The agreement also opens the door to collaboration on tokenized options contracts, a potential new product area. This follows S&P Global's recent strategic moves, including the Mobility spin-off and acquisitions in blockchain security and data center analytics. The extension removes a long-term uncertainty for the index licensing business and reinforces the value of the S&P 500 franchise.
At the time of this announcement, SPGI was trading at $395.50 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $116.7B. The 52-week trading range was $360.94 to $522.35.
