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
Strong Q3 performance: Nasdaq beat Q3 2025 profit estimates with adjusted EPS of $0.88 and 15% revenue growth, driven by a 14% rise in market services revenue, 23.2% jump in financial technology revenue, and 13.2% increase in index revenue, as Solutions revenue topped $1 billion for the first time (Reuters)
Adenza acquisition synergies: Nasdaq surpassed its post-deal leverage target over a year ahead of schedule and identified $140 million in cost savings, while seven new fintech cross-sales in Q2 2025 support its goal of $100 million in annual cross-sell revenue by 2027, validating the high-margin recurring revenue model (Reuters)
Innovative tokenization strategy: Nasdaq filed a proposal with the SEC to trade tokenized securities—potentially becoming the first major U.S. exchange to integrate blockchain-based assets into the national market system—positioning it at the forefront of market modernization (Reuters)
Risky Adenza valuation: the $10 billion Adenza acquisition carried a steep 31x EBITDA multiple, and while early results have been positive, sustaining projected synergies of $80 million and cross-sell revenue of $100 million by 2027 remains a significant execution challenge that could strain earnings if not met (Reuters)
Elevated valuation multiples: investors now value Nasdaq at more than 20x forecast EBITDA—comparable to pure-play data analytics firms like Moody’s and MSCI—leaving the stock vulnerable to multiple contraction should growth rates slow or macro uncertainty rise (Reuters)
Regulatory hurdles for tokenization: despite its push to trade tokenized securities, the SEC has emphasized that blockchain-based tokens are still subject to existing securities regulations, and full integration hinges on Depository Trust Company infrastructure readiness—likely delaying any rollout until at least Q3 2026 (Reuters)
