Intercontinental Exchange holds the cleaner structural position, with the lead spread across growth and stability. Cboe Global Markets still has the edge on stability, which keeps the comparison from looking entirely one-sided. In the market, Cboe Global Markets carries the stronger setup — intact trend against Intercontinental Exchange's broken trend. That leaves a split case: the structural lead stays with Intercontinental Exchange, but the market is not currently confirming it.
The comparison is based on similar long-term financial trajectories, not sector labels. Both peer scores are relative to the S&P 500 universe, making them directly comparable.
This is not just a one-metric split: both growth and profitability materially support the lead. Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. leads by 15 points on the overall comparison score.

Earnings growth is one contributing factor within the growth lead.
There is still a strong counterforce in stability, so the lead stays clear without becoming a sweep.
Growth settles the main question, even though stability still keeps the broader picture from looking fully clean.

AssetNext scores reflect each company's structural position within its functional peer group — not a ranking against all stocks simultaneously. Peers are identified by similarity across eight financial dimensions, including revenue growth trajectory, margin structure, capital intensity, and earnings stability. A score of 75 means the company ranks in the top quartile within its own peer group, not the entire market.
Four dimension scores drive the overall peer score: Growth (revenue trajectory and expansion dynamics), Quality (margin structure and capital efficiency), Valuation (peer-relative pricing on standard multiples), and Stability (earnings consistency and financial predictability). Each dimension is scored 0–100 relative to the peer group, then combined into an overall peer score using equal weighting.
Because scores are peer-relative, the same company can have slightly different scores in different index universes. On comparison pages, both companies are shown within their shared peer universe wherever possible — so the scores are directly comparable. The peer basis is stated on each score card.
Scores are recalculated periodically as underlying financial data is updated. All analysis is descriptive and rule-based — AssetNext describes structural realities and never issues buy, sell or hold recommendations.
