Net
income attributable to Nasdaq was $138 million, or 80 cents per
diluted share in the third-quarter ended Sept. 30, up from $123
million, or 71 cents per share, a year earlier.
The company earned 88 cents per diluted share, excluding
one-time items such as restructuring charges and currency
headwinds, Nasdaq said on Thursday.
Analysts on average had estimated earnings of 86 cents per
share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue, excluding transaction related expenses, rose 6.4
percent to $529 million as concerns about an economic slowdown
in China made for volatile markets that pushed equities trading
volumes higher.
Net revenue from market services rose 5.8 percent to $200
million, boosted by strong cash equity trading volumes.
Information services revenue, which includes market data and
index licensing and services, rose 15.8 percent to $132 million,
helped by the acquisition of data analytics firm Dorsey Wright
in Jan. 2015.
Nasdaq also said on Thursday its Nasdaq Private Market LLC unit
had bought equity management firm SecondMarket Solutions Inc for
an undisclosed amount.
