CME Group and Morningstar are compared as financial infrastructure plays. CME dominates derivatives trading with an impressive 62% net margin and $6.5B revenue, but trades at a premium valuation (forward P/E 22.5). Morningstar offers investment research with lower margins (15.3%) but more attractive valuation (forward P/E 15.5). The author leans toward CME despite valuation concerns due to its superior profitability and dividend, though both stocks have underperformed the S&P 500 over longer periods.
