CAPS Rating:

The Company provides facilities to buy, sell and clear energy, precious and base metals, and soft commodities for future delivery under rules intended to protect the interests of market participants.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

NYMEX followed the recent trend among U.S exchanges of going public and whose initial public offering had a great demand helping it mop around $300 million. It owes its success to the simple business model enabled by technology and attractiveness of the futures instrument. Huge fixed cost makes entry difficult and low variable margins help it post margins around 50%.

Recent quarter results have helped strengthen its positions as the leading market place for energy and metals trading. Its relationship with Chicago Mercantile Exchange would help list its energy contracts on the CME Globex electronic trading platform. Clearing and transaction fees, and market data fees account for 84% and 13% of the total revenues.

Strategy of the exchange has been to focus on joint ventures in other countries that would capitalize on its expertise in energy products. Reflecting the same it has inked a deal with Montreal Exchange to serve the Canadian market. A lot rest on its ability to make the joint venture with Dubai Mercantile Exchange a grand success. Endorsing the same it has plans of launching jet fuel futures and approval for the Singapore and Japanese investors to trade in its electronic market comes as good news. However, the margins would be hurt for the project due to the fees waiver for the initial three months to garner liquidity.

Traditionally influenced by trading members that has been detrimental to the long-term growth prospects, but is turning out to be more professional considering the interest of shareholder in mind. Its refusal to enter electronic trading in 2005 gave way for Intercontinental Exchange to steal market share. The strong performance of the share performance after listing was primarily due to supply-demand constraints or the limited float shares available for public trading. Of late, it has been facing intense competition and profits depend on the sole crude oil. Government legislations for futures trading and regulatory hurdles in the hedge fund can hurt the trading volumes apart from the volatility of the commodity prices. Moreover it is trading at an exorbitant premium when compared to its peers, implying its future performance already embedded in the price.

Recs 0 (NMX) steekersfan (< 20) Submitted: 6/02/08 11:50 AM : Start Price: $95.87 NMX Score: -9.86 If congress passes emissions reduction bills and NYMEX becomes the main exchange for trading carbon credits, ths company will be major. However, we are looking at a longer time frame then I orginally thought to find out if this actually takes off, but I think it will. We need to free ourselves from such a high degree of need for oil given suplly and demand concern and the fact that we do not control the market. If you have a long time horizon this is definitely a good bet. They already have a foothold with their green exchange, and that should continue to grow.

Recs 0 (NMX) slimpickins2 (< 20) Submitted: 5/02/08 11:21 AM : Start Price: $96.31 NMX Score: -7.88 I think the CME and NMX exchanges are going to benefit in a historic fashion once we (hopefully for my financial benefit) adopt carbon emissions system similar to Europe which requires companies to acuire carbon credits and futures contracts are built off of these credits. Hopefully it happens in the next presidential term, Bush is opposed, but I think all the new potential pres. are game for it. This will be big business for whoever is the big player, and with both of these companies commanding 90% of the future market, I see big things. Even if it didn't happen the way I see it, these are not bad companies to hold anyway and now is a good buy-in point. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Currentyly it should be valued at 103 if CME is doing a buyout of NMX shareholders of $36 a share and .13 shares of CME per share of NMX. I anticipate this stock going up as CME goes up, but for sure hitting the 103 level. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
