Description: ICE Intercontinental Exchange March 02, 2026

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE) operates a global network of regulated marketplaces and clearing houses, delivering technology, data, and workflow solutions across three segments: Exchanges, Fixed Income & Data Services, and Mortgage Technology.

In FY 2025 the company reported total revenue of $9.2 billion, up 8 % year-over-year, with an operating margin of 34 %, driven largely by growth in its derivatives exchange business and expanding data-service contracts.

Key sector catalysts include persistent interest-rate volatility that fuels demand for futures and swaps trading, heightened regulatory scrutiny that boosts the need for high-quality reference data, and a tightening U.S. residential-mortgage market that accelerates adoption of ICE’s digital mortgage-workflow platform.
