CME Group (CME) Forecast for 2026
After collecting analyst forecasts for CME Group stock for 2026, we made one consensus forecast. For clarity, we will immediately build a forecast chart for 2026, which will include historical data on CME Group stock prices. The gray color on the chart shows the historical price. The turquoise color shows the price forecast with a possible range of fluctuations.
The maximum share price target for 2026 is $287.37. This represents upside potential of 28.04% from current levels. The average return per month can be 1.08%.
The lowest price level the stock can fall to in 2026 is $152.51. From the current price, the drop will be 47.16%.
Thus, in the period from the current date until the end of 2026, it is possible to form a channel with a resistance level of $287.37 and a support level of $152.51. The width of this channel is $134.86. According to the theory of technical analysis, a downward breakdown of the channel will open the way to $18. If the resistance level is broken, then the road to $422 per share of CME Group will open.
What is the probability of exiting the channel up? CME Group shares will remain close to resistance levels for 2 months from today until the end of 2026. This suggests that the probability of breaking through the resistance level is quite small. If stocks break through the $287.37 resistance level and try to gain a foothold above it, then in the future they will most likely test this level from above and if the $287.37 mark holds, then this will be a new channel with new goals.
How about testing the strength of the support level? The price will remain near the support level for 1 month. Breaking through the resistance level is unlikely.
In addition, the real future price of one CME Group share can be both higher and lower than the target forecast price, but approximately in the range between the pessimistic and optimistic target price.
