(Reuters) - Exchange operator CME Group Inc reported a 33.4 percent rise in quarterly profit on Thursday as it earned more from providing market data services to clients and reaped the benefits of a tax cut.
Net income rose to $411.8 million, or $1.21 per share, in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, from $308.6 million, or $0.91 per share, a year earlier.
Analysts on average had expected the Chicago-based company to report a profit of $1.43 per share, according to Refinitiv estimates.
It was not immediately clear if the reported numbers were comparable.
