Nasdaq stock was trading at EUR 82.55 at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026, while Barclays analyst Benjamin Budish had lowered the target from USD 111.00 to USD 109.00 on October 7, 2026. Markets Insider reported that Barclays kept its Overweight rating and cited a varied but still strong volume outlook for the third quarter.

Three dates shape the setup

On July 23, 2026, Nasdaq reported second-quarter revenue of USD 2.53 billion and adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.07, above the USD 0.98 consensus estimate. Barchart said total net revenue rose 15.00 percent in the second quarter, with financial technology revenue up 16.00 percent to USD 539.00 million.

On October 1, 2026, Nasdaq announced that third-quarter results would be released on October 22, 2026. The October 7 Barclays target reduction was the latest dated analyst action in the research record, but its USD 109.00 target remains above the Lang & Schwarz euro quote and is not directly comparable across currencies.

What does the next report answer?

The October 22 report will test whether the second-quarter growth profile carried into the third quarter. The latest consensus cited by Barchart calls for adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.02, compared with USD 0.88 in the year-ago quarter, a projected increase of 15.91 percent. That estimate gives the upcoming release a clear numerical benchmark beyond the target revision.

Next date is October 22

Nasdaq scheduled the third-quarter results announcement for October 22, 2026, with the conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET. Nasdaq is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under ticker NDAQ, according to Finanzen.
