Nasdaq Faces Upside as AI Fears Fade and Investors Feel Confident About Growth, UBS Says

Nasdaq (NDAQ) continues to execute well, and the stock could move higher as concerns around artificial intelligence fade and investors feel more confident in its growth trajectory, UBS Securities said in a report Friday, keeping the stock as a top pick.UBS said it remains bullish on Nasdaq following Q1 results, given strong underlying growth across all segments, with a notable acceleration in FinTech organic annual recurring revenue growth of 16.3% year-over-year.Growth in the FinTech segment progressed due to strong performance in the Capital Markets Technology business, which saw 20.5% revenue growth and added $84 million in Q1 ARR, according to the note.In Capital Access Platforms, an expected recovery in capital markets should be constructive, while the introduction of 23/5 trading is seen as a tailwind for market data, the firm noted. UBS expects near-term revenue acceleration for the Index business, with revenue growth of 17.2% forecasted for Q2.The brokerage said it adjusted its fiscal 2026 EPS estimate to $3.89 from $3.90 and fiscal 2027 EPS forecast to $4.39 from $4.37.UBS maintained a buy rating on Nasdaq with a price target of $120.Price: $89.65, Change: $+2.60, Percent Change: +2.99%

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Strong Buy Opinion On Shares Of Nasdaq, Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Following strong Q1 results and accounting for economic uncertainty, we reduce our 12-month target price by $15 to $120, applying a forward P/E of 27.0x our 2027 EPS estimate, above NDAQ's five-year average forward P/E of 23.5x, given continued wins in financial crime and momentum in the Index segment. We increase our 2026 EPS estimate by $0.03 to $3.98 and raise 2027's by $0.18 to $4.44. NDAQ is firing on all cylinders with no signs of AI disrupting its strong competitive moat. In fact, performance is accelerating. The company posted its strongest Q1 organic growth since 2021 across net revenue, solutions revenue, and operating income. Record revenue growth in Financial Technology was particularly encouraging as we have long argued that NDAQ holds a competitive advantage with Verafin and its industry leading anti-financial crime solutions. Momentum is building in Verafin, which added 58 new small and medium bank clients in Q1, a 24% Y/Y increase, signaling a bright outlook ahead.
