About Nasdaq
Founded in 1971, Nasdaq is primarily known for its equity exchange, but in addition to its trading business (about 22.5% of sales), the company sells market and financial data to investors, offers Nasdaq-branded indexes, and lists companies through its capital access segment (42.5%). Nasdaq's newest segment, financial technology, was primarily constructed through the acquisitions of Verafin and Adenza and has expanded the company into capital management, financial crime, and regulatory compliance software (35%) as it seeks to become a diversified technology company.

What the Analysts think about Nasdaq
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Nasdaq stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Nasdaq stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Nasdaq posted Q2 2026 net revenue of $1.5 billion, a 15% year-over-year increase, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.07, up 25%, driven by broad-based double-digit growth across its Solutions, Market Services, and Financial Technology divisions (Investing.com).
The Capital Access Platforms segment delivered revenue of $621 million in Q2, a 19% jump underpinned by marquee listings such as SpaceX’s record-breaking $86 billion IPO, reinforcing Nasdaq’s leadership in exchange services (Reuters).
Nasdaq’s Financial Technology unit generated $539 million in Q2 revenue, a 16% increase, reflecting successful integration of Verafin and Adenza and strengthening of its recurring compliance and trade-processing software offerings (Reuters).
Nasdaq faces increasing regulatory risk in its derivatives business after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved perpetual futures on cryptocurrencies for competitors like Kalshi and Coinbase, a move analysts warn could erode Nasdaq’s market share in futures trading (Reuters).
The Market Services segment’s net revenue grew only 11% to $340 million in Q2 2026—driven largely by transient volatility—highlighting the division’s vulnerability to a reversal in trading volumes when market conditions stabilize (Reuters).
Nasdaq raised its full‐year 2026 adjusted operating expense guidance to $2.53 billion–$2.57 billion, signaling rising costs from technology investments and acquisitions that may weigh on operating margins (Investing.com).
