Read MoreHide Full Article
Nasdaq, Inc. (NDAQ - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2022 earnings on Oct 19, before the opening bell. The company delivered an earnings surprise in each of the last four quarters, the average being 5.59%.
Factors to Consider
Solid organic revenue growth, strong performance at index and analytics businesses and contributions from the acquisition of Verafin are likely to have aided Nasdaq’s third-quarter performance.
Improved performance at Market Technology, Market Data, Index and Analytics businesses are expected to have benefited non-trading revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Analytics revenues is pegged at $55 million, indicating an increase of 7.8% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus estimate for Index revenues is pegged at $124 million, suggesting growth of 4.2% from the year-ago reported figure. We expect Analytics revenues to be $54.3 million, while Index revenues are expected to be $124.5 million.
Market Technology revenues are likely to have benefited from the higher anti-financial crime technology revenues owing to the inclusion of revenues from the acquisition of Verafin, new sales and strong retention, higher SaaS revenues as well as organic revenue growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Market Technology revenues is pegged at $134 million, suggesting growth of 17.5% from the prior-year reported figure. We expect Market Technology revenues to be $133.8 million.
Market Services segment revenues are likely to have been driven by better performance at Equity Derivatives Trading and Clearing, Cash Equity Trading and Trade Management Services. We expect Market Services segment revenues to be $133.8 million.
The Investment Intelligence segment is expected to have benefited from strong growth in index and analytics businesses as well as a positive contribution from Market Data. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Market Technology revenues is pegged at $286 million, while we expect the same to be $283.3 million.
The Solutions segment is expected to have benefited from a compelling index and analytics portfolio, the expansion of the listed issuer base as well as anti-financial crime offerings, and improved demand for IR and ESG services. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $586 million.
Expenses are likely to have increased owing to the development and diversification of its business, compensation and benefits, merger and strategic initiatives, restructuring charges, general, administrative and other expenses. These are expected to have weighed on margin expansion.
The continued share buyback is anticipated to have provided an additional boost to the bottom line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings stands at 65 cents, indicating a 10.2% increase from the prior-year reported figure. We expect bottom line to be 64 cents for the to be reported quarter.
