FN2 Earnings Intelligence
Nasdaq, Inc. earnings overview
Latest Nasdaq, Inc. (NDAQ) earnings intelligence, including the newest scorecard, market reaction, and transcript analysis.
Nasdaq, Inc.
Nasdaq’s Q3 supports a constructive growth thesis: management described continued expansion in AI-enabled data products, cloud fintech, passive-investing demand and always-on market infrastructure. The evidence is strong but execution, adoption and regulatory risks remain material.
Nasdaq, Inc.
Nasdaq's Q2 results reinforce its transition from a traditional exchange operator to a diversified financial-technology and data company. Solutions revenue grew 17% YoY, now the dominant revenue engine, while the Index franchise crossed $1 trillion in AUM — a historic milestone powered by record inflows and the $86 billion SpaceX IPO. Management is beginning to monetize AI across its product stack (Verafin, Calypso, surveillance) using a freemium-to-subscription model, and tokenization pilots are moving from proof-of-concept to commercial deployment. With guidance maintained, capex increasing, and $530 million returned to shareholders, the quarter demonstrates that Nasdaq can invest in next-generation market infrastructure while still expanding margins and returning capital.
Nasdaq, Inc.
Nasdaq's Q1 2026 results describe a business compounding on AI-led, high-margin growth. Net revenue rose 13% YoY to $1.4B with EPS and revenue both beating consensus, and management said AI- and cloud-based solutions now account for 80% of ACV bookings toward a $100M expense-efficiency target by 2027. The narrative extends to new revenue avenues: always-on 24/5 market infrastructure launching December 6, 2026, outcome-oriented options, and tokenized securities after FCC approval, alongside record index and data licensing growth (partnerships with BlackRock, State Street, Invesco). Capital return is active ($548M buybacks, a $0.04 dividend increase) and the tone is confident. Key risks are regulatory timing for tokenization and always-on trading and a mix shift in derivative volumes.

Nasdaq, Inc.
The supplied analysis supports a constructive but conditional view: Nasdaq's recurring-revenue, market-services and fintech growth remained strong, while maintained guidance and AI-led product expansion support the trajectory.
