Alright, I've had a chance to look through Virtu's Q2 results in more detail. Below is my post-earnings thesis on the stock explaining why I continue to own it & remain bullish over the next 12-36 months:

Ways this exercise can turn out differently: - Virtu's base case $2.50 is too high (unlikely) - Virtu's growth projects grow faster than +15% CAGR - Volatility (Q2 2021 was as low a vol quarter as it gets)

As with any stock, there's always the chance for a multiple re-rating if external factors change how the market values Virtu (M&A/activist target news, new projects added, etc...) If my 10x 2024 revenue moves to 12x for example we have a $36 floor instead of $30.

I remain long Virtu. My floor valuation exercise gets me a conservative $30 per share with the potential for surprise volatility to push EPS and returns higher than that. Open to questions/feedback. FIN

Multiple for an exchange should be higher than for a prop trading firm. CME Group and other large derivative exchanges have been around for many decades for a reason. Trading firms come and go over relatively shorter time frames. Their revenues are less sticky.
