Nasdaq (NDAQ) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Nasdaq has demonstrated a robust financial performance with a notable 17% year-over-year increase in Index revenue, primarily fueled by a 25% rise in average Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) Assets Under Management (AUM), reaching approximately $663 billion. The company's strong software-as-a-service (SaaS) growth of 12% year-over-year, contributing to a 9% annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth rate, reflects the increasing demand for their technology solutions across diverse segments. Additionally, Nasdaq's capital management strategy is supported by strong free cash flow generation, leading to a reduction in debt and a significant improvement in the gross leverage ratio, signaling financial stability and a solid foundation for future growth.
Bears say
The outlook for Nasdaq's stock appears negative primarily due to a potential 10% reduction in FY26E EPS stemming from a slower-than-expected recovery in capital market activity, particularly regarding IPOs and growth in its financial technology segment, Adenza. Key risks influencing this outlook include subdued IPO markets, lower trading volumes, integration challenges with newly acquired entities, and regulatory uncertainties that could significantly impact client decision-making. Additionally, the prospect of a financial transaction tax in the European Union could lead to decreased trading volumes, further exacerbating Nasdaq's financial challenges.
