- • Key risks: rate cuts reducing NIM (~$77M impact per 25bps move), geopolitical uncertainty, tariff policy volatility, intensifying broker competition, and expanded AI regulatory scrutiny
Risk Factors
- • Emerging regulatory risk: ForecastEx (CFTC-registered DCM/DCO) faces state gaming authority litigation and uncertain legal framework for prediction/election contracts

- • Operational vulnerability: no fully redundant systems; no business interruption insurance; hybrid work model increases cyber incident exposure
- • Key-person dependency: Thomas Peterffy controls ~73.7% combined voting power; Compensation Committee he chairs sets his own pay
