How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

4 terms

initial public offering (ipo) financial

"The decrease was primarily due to initial public offering (IPO) related expense in 2025."

An initial public offering (IPO) is the process by which a private company sells its shares to the public for the first time, allowing anyone to buy a piece of the company. It matters to investors because it provides an opportunity to invest early in a company's growth, potentially earning profits if the company becomes successful. Essentially, an IPO turns a private business into a publicly traded one, opening it up to a wider pool of investors.

non-gaap financial measure financial

"Adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income"

A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

section 31 fees regulatory

"Section 31 fees"

A Section 31 fee is a small regulatory charge applied to securities trades that helps fund the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s market oversight. Think of it as a mandatory service charge on a purchase that supports the agency that polices markets; investors feel it as a tiny increase in trading costs, especially for frequent traders, because brokers typically pass the fee along on each transaction.

diluted weighted average shares outstanding financial

"Adjusted earnings divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding"

Diluted weighted average shares outstanding is a measure of how many shares of a company's stock are considered when calculating its earnings, accounting for potential shares that could be created if all options and convertible securities are exercised. It reflects the total number of shares that would be available if every possible share-creating event occurred. This helps investors understand how much ownership each share represents and how earnings are spread across all possible shares, providing a more complete picture of the company's profitability.

Options

• Net revenue grew 19% to $112.6 million, compared to $94.5 million in the prior-year period. Growth was primarily driven by both net transaction fees and non-transaction fees. Net transaction fees increased due to higher industry volume, and higher market share, partially offset by lower revenue per contract (RPC). Higher non-transaction fees were primarily driven by increased member connections, and 2026 fee increases.
• Operating income increased 44% to $73.9 million, compared to $51.4 million in the prior year period. Growth was primarily due to higher net revenues, and lower expenses as the prior-year period included accelerated share-based compensation expenses.
• Adjusted EBITDA grew 25% to $86.5 million, compared to $69.1 million in the prior-year period.

Equities

• Net revenue grew 53% to $6.7 million, compared to $4.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher net transaction fees from improved capture.
• Operating loss of $2.9 million in the third quarter, compared to an operating loss of $4.9 million in the prior-year period. Growth was primarily due to higher net revenues.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $1.0 million, compared to ($0.9) million in the prior-year period.

Futures

• Net revenue was $5.0 million, compared to $4.8 million in the prior-year period. Net transaction fees were relatively flat as increases in agricultural future revenues were offset by inverted financial futures revenue.
• Operating loss was $12.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $18.5 million in the prior year period. Growth was primarily due to lower expenses as the prior-year period included accelerated share-based compensation expenses.
• Adjusted EBITDA of ($8.4) million, compared to ($9.6) million in the prior-year period.

International 

• Net revenue was $6.1 million, compared to $5.5 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased total listed securities by The International Stock Exchange Group Limited (TISE).
• Operating income was $1.3 million, compared to $0.8 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased net revenue.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million, compared to $1.7 million in the prior-year period.

Capital and Liquidity

• As of September 30, 2026, MIAX had cash and cash equivalents of $698.9 million and total debt of $1.5 million.

*  Percentage calculation is not meaningful.
(1)	ADV is calculated as total contracts or shares for the period divided by total trading days for the period.
(2)	RPC represents transaction and clearing fees less liquidity payments, brokerage, clearing and exchange fees and Section 31 fees (Net Transaction Fees), divided by total contracts traded during the period.
(3)	Equities capture per one hundred shares refers to net transaction fees, divided by one-hundredth of total shares.
(4)	Financial futures launched on May 17 (trade date May 18). Accordingly, ADV is calculated as total contracts for the period divided by total trading days for the period beginning on May 18.
