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.

Bulls say / Bears say

Integration of the $10 billion Adenza acquisition has already produced $140 million in cost savings and delivered seven cross-sales in financial technology in Q2 2025, supporting over $100 million in expected annual revenue synergies by 2027.
Nasdaq reported Q2 2025 revenue of $1.3 billion, rising 13% year over year thanks to strong IPO activity and listing growth, strengthening its outlook for the capital access segment.
In Q2 2025, Nasdaq exceeded profit expectations as market volatility helped increase trading services revenue by 21%, financial technology sales rose 10% to $464 million, and index licensing revenue climbed 17%, underscoring the firm's successful diversification beyond trading.
Nasdaq’s market services revenue grew 21% in Q2 2025 due to increased market volatility, which leaves the trading segment vulnerable to revenue declines should market conditions stabilize.
Even after a recent rerating, Nasdaq trades at just above 20× forecast EBITDA, compared to an average of 26× for its data analytics peers, pointing to limited potential for multiple expansion and a risk of multiple compression if growth slows.
Top shareholder Thoma Bravo sold its remaining approximately $3.4 billion stake in Nasdaq in May 2025, which could indicate insider efforts to reduce risk and may put selling pressure on the stock.
