Nasdaq Shares Plunge 14% Post-Earnings Despite Q4 Revenue Beat
NDAQ sits 34% above its 52-week low of $64.84.
Summary
Nasdaq reported its Q4 results, showing a 13.4% year-over-year revenue increase to $1.39 billion and beating EPS forecasts. Despite these positive top and bottom-line beats, the company's shares plunged approximately 14% following the announcement. This significant market reaction suggests investor disappointment, potentially stemming from weak forward guidance, specific segment performance, or other undisclosed factors within the earnings report.

Traders will be closely watching the upcoming Q1 2026 earnings call on April 23 for further clarity on management's outlook and the underlying reasons for the market's negative response.
