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.

Nasdaq outperformed expectations in Q2 2025, reporting total revenue up 13% to $1.31 billion, market services revenue up 21%, and fintech revenue up 10% to $464 million, demonstrating successful expansion into recurring revenue streams (Reuters)
After the Adenza deal, Nasdaq surpassed its leverage reduction targets ahead of schedule, found $140 million in cost savings, and achieved seven new fintech cross-sales in Q2, confirming progress toward a subscription-based, tech-focused growth strategy (Reuters)
Nasdaq’s market services revenue rose 21% in Q2 2025 mainly due to temporary surges in market volatility, suggesting that revenues could decline if trading activity normalizes in more stable conditions (Reuters)
The 2023 $10 billion acquisition of Adenza faced initial doubts because it was priced at a hefty 31× EBITDA, raising concerns about potential overpayment and difficulties in achieving expected synergies (Reuters)
The SEC’s approval of the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE), supported by BlackRock, Citadel and Charles Schwab, creates a new rival that could gradually take market share from Nasdaq in listings and trading services (Reuters)
