-- 加拿大皇家銀行資本市場（RBC Capital）週三發布的一份報告顯示，芝加哥商品交易所（CME）第一季度所有資產類別和地區的日均交易量均創歷史新高，但每份合約收入的下降部分抵消了這一增長。 RBC指出，市場數據和資訊服務仍是CME的關鍵優勢，在用戶成長、定價策略和新產品推廣的推動下，其營收年增約15%。 管理層預計，到2026年，CME的收入將年增約8.5%，達到約70.7億美元，略低於市場普遍預期的9.1%，主要成長動力來自清算和交易費用、市場數據和資訊服務以及其他收入。報告顯示，調整後每股盈餘預計為12.27美元，低於市場普遍預期的12.34美元。 該券商預計數據服務和零售交易活動將持續保持成長勢頭，但由於前期宏觀經濟波動，第二季度同比數據將較為艱難，但同時對CME的結構性增長驅動因素保持樂觀態度。 RBC維持對該股的「與行業持平」評級，目標價為302美元。

Canada isn't.
