MarketAxess Holdings Inc. (US57060D1081) stock opened at USD 163.34 on September 4, 2026, with a market cap of USD 5.75 billion and a 52-week range of USD 108.75 to USD 195.96. The move followed a Q2 2026 report with EPS of USD 1.95 and revenue of USD 218.41 million, both above consensus, according to MarketBeat.

Q2 beats still matter

MarketBeat said the July 30, 2026 quarter also beat expectations by USD 0.10 per share on EPS and by USD 1.71 million on revenue, while revenue slipped 0.5 percent year over year from the prior period. The same summary put net margin at 35.22 percent and return on equity at 22.48 percent.

Analysts in the same data set still see the shares on a Hold rating, with an average target price of USD 156.10. That leaves the stock above the target and close to the upper end of its yearly range.

Dividend adds support

The dividend profile gives the name another visible marker for income investors. MarketBeat reported a quarterly dividend of USD 0.78, paid on September 2, 2026, equal to an annualized USD 3.12 and a 1.9 percent yield at the time of the report.

The stock traded at USD 163.34 against a 52-week high of USD 195.96 and a low of USD 108.75. It is also above the USD 156.10 consensus target cited by MarketBeat.
