Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Nasdaq stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Nasdaq remains focused on growth through acquisitions and organic initiatives that enable entry and cross-selling opportunities into new markets at a low-cost and highly-flexible platform. It displays prudence by accelerating its non-transaction revenue base. Nasdaq realigned its reporting segments to better reflect client orientation, rebranded its fixed income business and has decided to end its NLX interest rate futures business as well. However, elevated expenses restrict the desired margin expansion. Intense competition and regulatory issues remain key concerns. Also, shares of Nasdaq underperformed the Zacks categorized Securities Exchanges industry, year to date. The company is set to report second quarter release on Jul 26. According to our proven model a Zacks Rank #3 when combined with an Earnings ESP of 0.00% makes prediction difficult for a likely earnings beat." (7/17/2017)
• 2. UBS AG analysts commented, "Lowering 1Q17 EPS estimate to $1.06 from $1.09 vs. $1.09 Street consensus. Following NDAQ's February metrics release, we are lowering our 1Q EPS estimate to $1.06 from $1.09. This is now $0.03 below the latest Street consensus. Volumes for February were mixed relative to the prior month but were generally down y/y. QTD volumes are also mostly running down y/y, with US equities and options as well as OMX volumes all running below our prior forecasts. In addition to reducing our 1Q forecasts to reflect lower-than-previously-expected volumes in these areas (with the most downside from European derivatives), lower US FICC expectations add to the downside in our estimate revision. While we wait until next month for 1Q pricing data, we believe slightly disappointing volume trends (read: downside to near-term forecasts) could hold back the shares a bit tomorrow." (3/3/2017)
