What To Expect From Nasdaq Stock Post Its Stock Split?

Nasdaq stock (NASDAQ: NDAQ) has lost 3.2% in the last week, outperforming the S&P 500 (down 3.6%). Further, the same pattern was observed over the last ten days (1.6% vs 0.09%) and one month (7.7% vs 4.6%). 

The company outperformed the consensus estimates in the second quarter, with net revenues increasing by 6% y-o-y to $893 million. It was primarily driven by a 10% growth in the solutions segment (non-trading revenues) and a 1% increase in the trading revenues. Further, the firm recently released its monthly volumes for July. While the volume of U.S. equity derivatives decreased 11% y-o-y, the U.S. cash equities category witnessed a 4% rise. We expect the third quarter trading-driven revenues to follow the same trend as the last quarter. In addition to this, the company’s board has approved a three-for-one stock split of the company’s common shares, to be executed on August 29, 2022. This will make NDAQ’s stock more affordable to potential shareholders.
