If you believe MKTX can reaccelerate growth toward ICE’s pace while preserving its superior ROIC and net cash balance sheet, then the stock looks reasonable to own because the current price still offers modest relative upside versus ICE and sits near the upper end of its historical band.
On a P/E basis, MKTX trades at 24.4x versus ICE at 26.4x, implying only a slight relative discount that maps to an 8.1% upside estimate. The market is also not giving MKTX a valuation advantage on P/S, where both trade at 6.8x, while EV/EBITDA is slightly lower for MKTX at 13.3x versus ICE at 14.1x.
