Analyst projections of the future price of MarketAxess stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

Trading activity is growing: third-quarter average daily volume rose 13%, while block and portfolio trading volumes increased 21% and 37%. MarketAxess also reported market-share gains in high-yield and municipal bonds, suggesting newer trading channels are gaining traction. (MarketAxess)
Data and services offer a source of growth beyond transaction fees. Information Services revenue rose 10% in the third quarter, and an Arcesium integration is extending access to MarketAxess pricing and transaction data through clients’ existing workflows. (MarketAxess, Arcesium)
ICE’s agreed $167-a-share cash offer gives shareholders a defined exit value. US antitrust authorities ended the waiting period early in October, removing one hurdle to the deal. (MarketAxess)
Higher trading volumes are not translating into stronger credit commission revenue. Credit fees per million fell 9% in the third quarter, and US credit commission revenue declined 4%, reflecting weaker fee capture and product mix. (MarketAxess)
Recent financial growth has been modest and reported earnings fell: third-quarter revenue rose just 1%, while diluted EPS declined to $1.53 from $1.84 a year earlier. Total expenses increased 10%, partly reflecting notable items. (MarketAxess)
MarketAxess faces a tougher competitive position in US credit. Its reported US high-grade market share fell 90 basis points year on year in the third quarter, and Rothschild Redburn has cited competition and pricing pressure in downgrading the shares. (MarketAxess, Investing.com)
