CME Group: High Quality With Good Dividend Yield
CME Group's near-monopoly in futures and options trading, with extraordinary 60% FCF margins, makes it a high-quality, capital-light business despite regulatory costs. Significant acquisitions like CBOT, NYMEX, and KCBT have solidified CME's market dominance, though future focus will be on dividends and smaller acquisitions. CME is slightly undervalued with a 4% dividend yield, making it a strong hold for dividend-focused investors seeking a high-quality business model.

While risks like rate cuts exist, these stocks are built to deliver steady income and long-term gains, making them core holdings in my portfolio.
