The business, and the score behind its five axes
The reading, in brief
- Is it cheap
Price to earnings is 25.54x at the close of 2026-10-15 on FY2025 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits between 25.00x and 40.00x.
Today, against the Financial Services sector (655 companies), 25.54x sits at the 76th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 11.12x to 24.47x.
- Is it good
Return on equity was 14.2% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Ordinary" (8.0% to 15.0%), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data.
Today, against the Financial Services sector (731 companies), 14.2% sits at the 76th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 3.8% to 13.9%.
- Is it safe
Interest coverage was 24.39x in FY2025, in the band labelled "Comfortable" (6.00x and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's interest-coverage table, suggesting an interest bill operating profit covers many times over.
- Year by year against peers
- Whether CME Group Inc.'s return on equity stayed above the median of the Financial Services sector, year by year. (FY2023 to FY2025, 3 fiscal years of CME Group Inc. with a comparable figure)
- The direction

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2025, the newest full year on file. 11 filed fiscal years on record, FY2015 to FY2025, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Oct 15, 2026. Ratios recomputed Oct 14, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.
The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry. A figure’s name opens its formula and the filings behind it; a statement that names no SEC filing has no filing date, and reads n/a.

The named tests
Of 30 tests value investors published: 1 met, 25 not met, 4 we could not complete. Counts, never a score: a single figure would have to decide that meeting one investor’s criteria and meeting another’s are worth the same.
Which tests, by name(all 30)
- Meets
- Cash-covered dividend
- Does not
- Defensive investor (Benjamin Graham); Deep value; Large cap, low P/E; High F-score, low P/B (Joseph Piotroski); Three forensic scores; Low PEG, low debt (Peter Lynch); High returns and growth; Gross margin, turnover (Robert Novy-Marx); High yield, low payout; Dividends and buybacks; Near the 52-week low; Z-score and coverage (Edward Altman); Two thirds of NCAV (Benjamin Graham); P/E times P/B (Benjamin Graham); High returns, low debt; Owner earnings yield; High return on tangibles; Low P/S, rising earnings (James O'Shaughnessy); Book or below, low debt (Walter Schloss); Tangible book or below; Cash-flow yield and ROIC; Clean books, high ROIC; Cheapest quarter on P/E (David Dreman); Cheapest quarter on P/B (David Dreman); Low P/E, growth, yield (John Neff)
- Not measured
- Earnings yield and ROIC (Joel Greenblatt); EV/EBITDA and coverage; Low beta, profitable; ROIC at or above WACC. A test with a figure we could not read is incomplete, never met and never failed.
Figures we could not read(8)
- Current Ratio: Graham set this test for industrial companies.
- Debt to Equity: The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.
- EV/EBIT: The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.
- Return on Invested Capital: The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.
- Altman Z-Score: Altman's Z-Score was estimated on manufacturers and explicitly excludes financial firms. A financial company scores in the distress zone by construction, so the number would be wrong rather than alarming. Not applicable to financials.
- Gross Margin: Our archived statements for this filer carry no gross profit line, so there is nothing to compute a gross margin from and trace back to source. That may be because the filer presents no cost of revenue, or because we have not captured the concept. We do not guess which.
- EV/EBITDA: The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.
- ROIC-WACC Spread: The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.

Next step
What to do with what you have read.
A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.
What this cannot tell you
- 8 figures could not be read on this company, among them Current Ratio, Debt to Equity, EV/EBIT. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 4 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.
And the one that is true of all of it: This is what the numbers say today. It cannot tell you the day one of them stops being true. Nothing here can, because the reasons are not written down.
Running this once is arithmetic on public documents and you are welcome to it. Writing down why you own each company, in your own words and with the numbers that have to stay true for it to hold, and then having those numbers re-checked every night against the newest filed accounts, and against the latest close where a rule watches a price, is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person. It writes to you the day one breaks, and stays quiet when nothing does. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published.
No card. 30 free days, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
