On June 30, 2026, CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CME) said it will launch Single Stock futures across more than 50 top U.S. stocks on July 27, pending completion of all regulatory review and processes. The new offering will include 55 larger-sized and 22 Micro-sized futures contracts.

On June 18, Keefe Bruyette upgraded CME Group to Outperform from Market Perform with an unchanged $305 price target. Keefe said the recent share selloff creates an "extremely attractive" risk/reward and attributed the move to perceived perpetual futures risk. The firm said that concern is overblown for exchanges in general and CME specifically, given the company's low retail exposure and index licenses in equities products. Keefe also sees an improving volume backdrop that could continue into the second half of the year.

Earlier in June, Rothschild & Co Redburn upgraded CME Group to Buy from Neutral with a price target of $323, up from $316, implying potential upside of 28%. The firm said CME should be one of the larger beneficiaries of "structural tailwinds" from retail trading, prediction markets, and ledger technology efficiencies. Rothschild said these tailwinds add to CME's high-quality franchise, strong cash flows, and dividend yield of upwards of 4%, while calling the recent pullback an "attractive opportunity."
