Nasdaq reported strong third-quarter results as continued momentum in its index and financial technology segments more than made up for limited trading revenue growth. Net revenue increased 12.6% from last year, while adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 18% to $1.04.
Nasdaq's capital markets technology business has recently outperformed expectations. If cross-selling opportunities with Nasdaq's other businesses prove stronger than expected, then financial technology growth could be better than projected.
Nasdaq continues to face growing competitive pressure at its exchanges, with two new competitors launching in 2020 and another in 2026. This could lead to falling market share in its exchange business.
