Nasdaq - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Nasdaq
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Nasdaq, Inc.:

Nasdaq's recent quarterly earnings report exceeded analysts' expectations, showcasing a strong financial performance with a positive EPS surprise of $0.05.
The company's revenue for the quarter was up by 25.3% compared to the same period last year, indicating significant growth in its top line.
Nasdaq has a diverse range of institutional investors, including Park Avenue Securities LLC and Czech National Bank, which reflects confidence in the company's future prospects.
The stock's 52-week high of $74.88 suggests potential for capital appreciation, providing an opportunity for investors to benefit from price appreciation.
Nasdaq's dividend payout ratio of 50.53% indicates a stable dividend policy, offering investors a source of regular income along with potential capital gains.

Nasdaq
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Nasdaq, Inc. for these reasons:

Despite the positive earnings report, Nasdaq's stock had a trading volume below its average volume, which may indicate lower investor interest or potential volatility in the stock.
The company's quick ratio and current ratio of 0.94 each suggest a relatively lower liquidity position, which could pose challenges in meeting short-term obligations.
Nasdaq's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.85 indicates a moderate level of leverage, which may increase financial risk and impact the company's ability to pursue growth opportunities.
The P/E ratio of 38.34 and P/E/G ratio of 3.04 may signal that the stock is currently trading at a premium valuation, potentially limiting immediate upside for investors.
With major insider transactions, such as the sale of 42,804,207 shares by a major shareholder, there could be concerns about insider sentiment or future company performance.
