Nasdaq stock was trading at USD 93.59 on NASDAQ at 11:21 a.m. ET on October 6, 2026, up 1.52 percent from the prior close. The company has set October 22, 2026, for its third-quarter results, giving the market a defined checkpoint after a strong second quarter.

October 22 results date

According to Nasdaq on October 1, 2026, the company will publish its third-quarter financial results before the market call at 8:00 a.m. ET. The release says the results presentation will be posted at 7:00 a.m. ET, making October 22 the next major company-specific trading date.

The timing matters because Nasdaq's latest reported quarter already set a high comparison point. The next report will show whether capital markets activity and financial technology demand can sustain that pace into the second half of fiscal 2026.

Q2 revenue rose 14.9 percent

MarketBeat reported that Nasdaq's second-quarter revenue reached USD 2.53 billion on July 23, 2026, up 14.9 percent from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted earnings per share came to USD 1.07, exceeding the USD 0.98 consensus estimate by USD 0.09.

The figures make earnings quality the central test for the October report. Nasdaq combines exchange operations with listings, market data, indexes and financial technology, so revenue growth can reflect both trading activity and recurring technology demand.

Consensus target stays above USD 100

MarketBeat described the analyst consensus as Moderate Buy, based on 13 analysts, with an average target of USD 109.25. That target lies 16.7 percent above the October 6 trading price of USD 93.59.

The same coverage noted that Wells Fargo initiated coverage on October 3, 2026, with an Equal Weight rating and a USD 100.00 target, while the broader consensus remained more positive. The split gives investors two measurable reference points before Nasdaq reports.

Stock remains below yearly high

Nasdaq's market capitalization was USD 52.3 billion on October 6, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 76.55 to USD 101.79. At USD 93.59, the stock was 8.1 percent below the yearly high, leaving the October 22 results as the next test for the valuation.
