Moody's has affirmed CME Group Inc.'s Aa3 long-term issuer rating and its prime-1 short-term issuer rating, as well as Intercontinental Exchange Inc.'s A2 long-term rating.
The outlook for both companies remains stable.
Moody's said CME's ratings and stable outlook are driven by the company's long record of consistently strong financial performance in the derivatives exchanges and clearinghouse space.
ICE's ratings and stable outlook are supported by its scale, strong margins and strong cash-flow-generating capacity, Moody's said.
