Nasdaq Inc. (ISIN US6311031081) stock was trading at EUR 82.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 15, 2026 at 9:43 a.m. CEST. The latest analyst action came from Goldman Sachs, which maintained a Buy rating and set a USD 109.00 price target on October 14, 2026, according to Markets Insider.

Goldman keeps the target at USD 109

The analyst decision adds a fresh reference point before Nasdaq's next quarterly report. The USD 109.00 target is above the company's USD 91.96 primary-market price cited for October 14, 2026, while the euro quotation reflects the German trading perspective. Goldman also maintained its Buy rating, rather than changing the recommendation, which makes the target level the central new detail.

What did the latest quarter show?

Nasdaq's second-quarter results, released on July 23, 2026, showed revenue of USD 2.53 billion, compared with USD 2.09 billion a year earlier, and net profit of USD 507 million versus USD 452 million. Those figures were reported by Markets Insider. The same quarter produced adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.07 against a USD 0.98 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat.

Three dated steps shape the story

On July 23, 2026, Nasdaq reported second-quarter revenue of USD 2.53 billion. On September 10, 2026, Nasdaq Ventures agreed to invest USD 100 million in Payward, the parent of Kraken, to develop tokenized stocks, as MarketBeat reported. On October 14, 2026, Goldman Sachs maintained its Buy rating and set a USD 109.00 target, according to Markets Insider.

Which dates matter next?

Nasdaq is scheduled to report third-quarter 2026 results before the market opens on October 22, 2026, with the earnings call set for 8:00 a.m. ET, according to MarketBeat. The company also agreed on August 11, 2026 to buy LeveL Markets, ahead of a planned December 6, 2026 launch of 23-hour trading, as reported by MarketBeat.

Recurring revenue remains central

Nasdaq combines exchange operations with index licensing, listings, data and financial technology. In the second quarter, financial technology revenue increased 16 percent and annualized recurring revenue reached USD 3.3 billion, up 11 percent year over year, according to MarketBeat. For investors, the October 22 report will test whether the recurring-revenue profile can continue to offset the sensitivity of trading and listing activity.

Nasdaq stock and the next report

Nasdaq's current euro quotation puts the analyst target and the October 22 reporting date at the center of the near-term setup. The primary-market reference was USD 91.96 on October 14, 2026, while the company had a USD 51.4 billion market capitalization and a USD 76.55 to USD 101.79 52-week range.
