Yahoo Finance Intercontinental Exchange's (ICE) November ADV Increases Y/Y
Intercontinental Exchange ICE reported a solid average daily volume (ADV) for November 2021. The ADV of 6.1 million contracts per day was up 11.3% year over year, driven by higher Commodities and Financials volumes during the 21 trading days in November this year.
Commodities ADV increased 13.6% to 3.8 million due to 15.4% higher Energy ADV and 08% higher Agriculture and Metals ADV.
Financials ADV improved 7.6%, driven by 13.2% higher interest rate volumes of 1.9 million contracts. However, the Equity Indices volumes decreased 17.5%, while the foreign exchange volumes slipped 7.9%.
Intercontinental Exchange develops and offers an array of products along with a broad range of risk management services, including trade execution, market data, and pre-and post-trade processing and clearing services on an integrated platform. The volume growth, due to the compelling portfolio, should continue to drive Trading and Clearing revenues.
Also, Intercontinental is well poised to capitalize on the accelerated digitization taking place in the U.S. residential mortgage industry. ICE has the largest mortgage network in the United States and the integration of Ellie Mae into ICE Mortgage Technology is likely to boost its mortgage business.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company have gained 12.9% year to date compared with the industry’s increase of 24.3%. Intercontinental’s product portfolio along with a broad range of risk management services, strategic buyouts and a robust capital position will likely help the stock retain its growth momentum.
