Nasdaq proudly commemorated the 250th anniversary of the United States Navy and Marine Corps, marking the official kickoff of Navy Fleet Week in Philadelphia with a series of events celebrating the shared legacy of service, innovation, and community.
Philadelphia holds a unique place in American history as the birthplace of both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps and the home of the nation’s first stock exchange, Nasdaq PHLX, originally founded in 1790 as the Board of Brokers.
The celebration was led by Kevin Kennedy, Nasdaq’s Executive Vice President and Head of North American Markets, and Dan Carrigan, AVP of Digital Assets, alongside Navy and Marine Corps leaders including Rear Admiral Stephen D. Barnett, Rear Admiral Kenneth R. Blackmon, and Major General John F. Kelliher III.
The events included a ceremonial bell ringing aboard the USS Arlington (LPD-24) at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, in partnership with the Philadelphia Stock Exchange (PHLX) followed by a visit to Nasdaq’s Philadelphia office where Nasdaq hosted the sailors and Marines for an educational program on market operations and for fireside conversations focused on leadership and innovation.
Together, these events honored more than one million active, reserve, and civilian personnel who serve with courage and dedication, protecting global commerce and standing as a symbol of strength and unity across the seas.
Nasdaq is proud to stand alongside the Navy and Marine Corps. United by a commitment to innovation, leadership, and service, Nasdaq continues to advance the financial markets to empower investors worldwide.

Honoring 250 Years of Service: Nasdaq Celebrates the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps

From the early days of securities trading to today’s modern, globally connected market under the Nasdaq brand, Nasdaq Iceland has played a pivotal role in shaping Iceland’s economy. This year marks 40 years since its inception allowing a look back at some of the key milestones that have defined its journey as a thread connecting, reinforcing, and empowering the financial ecosystem of the region.
Connecting Companies and Investors for 40 years
Nasdaq Iceland’s history reflects the evolution of the country's financial system and its path toward internationalization. It's the youngest exchange among Nasdaq’s Nordic exchanges, established in 1985 by the Central Bank of Iceland and a few Icelandic banks. In the early years, trading was limited to government bonds, but the introduction of equity trading in 1991 marked a major milestone in the development of Iceland’s financial markets.
Efforts to modernize and internationalize the market began early. A key turning point came in 2000 when Nasdaq Iceland joined the NOREX alliance of Nordic exchanges, leading to significant improvements in market functionality through the adoption of shared trading and surveillance systems, and the harmonization of rules across participating exchanges in the Nordics.
“Being a small market, international cooperation and strong relationships have always been essential to our development. From the very beginning, there was a clear ambition to modernize the Icelandic market and operate it in line with international best practice, both to support local companies and investors, and to ensure Iceland could participate meaningfully in the global financial ecosystem. That vision continues to guide us today,“ said Magnus Hardarson, President of Nasdaq Iceland.
From the early days of establishing and building the market in Iceland to forging international connections, the exchange has played a key role in the country’s economic development. It supports company growth by providing access to capital through listings and public offerings, enabling businesses to fund innovation, scale operations, and boost competitiveness. The market also serves as an important financing platform for the government and municipalities, helping fund public projects such as housing and infrastructure.
“From the start Nasdaq Iceland has connected companies with investors to support growth and has been a vital source of capital for the Icelandic government, supporting sovereign bond issuance and contributing to the financial stability and development of the nation,” said Hardarson
In 2000, the number of companies in the Icelandic market reached its peak with 75 listed companies, many of them in the fisheries sector. At the same time, around 30,000 retail investors held shares, one of the highest per capita participation rates in Europe. Today, 32 companies are listed, five of which are on the First North growth market, and seven that are dual listed. Despite fewer companies than in 2000, the overall market capitalization has grown 2½ times adjusted for inflation.
In 2003, Nasdaq Iceland initiated a partnership with the Faroese Securities Market (VMF), paving the way for Faroese securities to be listed in Iceland. This collaboration resulted in four Faroese companies being listed on the Icelandic market.
In 2006, the Exchange became part of the Nordic exchange group OMX, which later merged with the U.S. technology company Nasdaq. Today, the Exchange operates under the name Nasdaq Iceland and is part of Nasdaq Europe, alongside exchanges in Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius.
“By joining Nasdaq, the Icelandic market was elevated to a new level of visibility, credibility, and connectivity. It opened doors for Icelandic companies to reach a broader investor base, benchmark themselves globally, and attract foreign capital. This integration did not only strengthen the infrastructure but also positioned Iceland as a dynamic player in the Nordic financial ecosystem.” said Hardarson.
Building On Market Momentum
Over the years, extensive reform efforts have strengthened the regulatory framework, broadened investor participation, and improved public access to market trading. New listings have supported market development, and there have been numerous dual listings.
In 2022 Iceland was upgraded by FTSE Russell to "Secondary Emerging" classification and included in its Emerging Market indices, increasing the country’s visibility among international investors. Although significant progress has been made, ongoing efforts continue to strengthen participation from both domestic and foreign investors and to attract new companies to the market.
“It is important for the market’s long-term strength to attract diverse capital. Dual listings on Nasdaq Iceland have become a powerful bridge, connecting Iceland and global capital, and deepening international financial integration. They reflect our ambition to support our listed companies through a strong local market while facilitating global reach to international markets,” Hardarson emphasized.
Retail investor participation surged at the onset of the pandemic and reached a new high with the Íslandsbanki offering in spring 2025. Today, more than 11% of the population or around 45,000 individuals own shares, reflecting a growing culture of investment and financial engagement in Iceland.
Looking Ahead
As Nasdaq Iceland continues its journey, it remains deeply committed to Nasdaq Europe’s overall mission of empowering economic opportunity in the region, dedicating itself to being a catalyst for innovation, growth, and long-term prosperity.
"We see Nasdaq Iceland continuing to play a meaningful role in supporting Icelandic companies and providing a multitude of investors access to diverse investment opportunities.” said Hardarson. “Our integration with the broader Nasdaq network gives us the tools and reach to connect local ambition with global opportunity. We aim to build on our strengths, supporting sustainable growth, attracting diverse capital, embracing innovation, and contributing to the resilience of the Icelandic economy.”

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers & Securities Exchanges ETF (Symbol: IAI), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $195.43 per unit.
With IAI trading at a recent price near $170.45 per unit, that means that analysts see 14.66% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of IAI's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Virtu Financial Inc (Symbol: VIRT), LPL Financial Holdings Inc. (Symbol: LPLA), and Nasdaq Inc (Symbol: NDAQ). Although VIRT has traded at a recent price of $33.41/share, the average analyst target is 33.36% higher at $44.55/share. Similarly, LPLA has 23.07% upside from the recent share price of $339.18 if the average analyst target price of $417.43/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting NDAQ to reach a target price of $104.50/share, which is 19.54% above the recent price of $87.42. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of VIRT, LPLA, and NDAQ:
Combined, VIRT, LPLA, and NDAQ represent 7.32% of the iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers & Securities Exchanges ETF. Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

NDAQ Q3 Earnings & Revenues Top Estimates, Expense View Tweaked

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores?
Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value Score
For value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth Score
While good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum Score
Momentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM Score
If you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank
The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.81% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Nasdaq (NDAQ)
Founded in 1971 and headquartered in New York, Nasdaq Inc. is a leading provider of trading, clearing, marketplace technology, regulatory, securities listing, information and public and private company services.
NDAQ is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. NDAQ has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 19.2% for the current fiscal year.
For fiscal 2025, 10 analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.04 to $3.36 per share. NDAQ boasts an average earnings surprise of +4.4%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, NDAQ should be on investors' short list.
Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.

Nasdaq (NDAQ) Q3 Earnings: Taking a Look at Key Metrics Versus Estimates

Nasdaq (NDAQ) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.88 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.84 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.74 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +4.76%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this exchange operator would post earnings of $0.8 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.85, delivering a surprise of +6.25%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Nasdaq, which belongs to the Zacks Securities and Exchanges industry, posted revenues of $1.32 billion for the quarter ended September 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.75%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.15 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Nasdaq shares have added about 14.9% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 14.5%.
What's Next for Nasdaq?
While Nasdaq has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Nasdaq was mixed.
