Nasdaq Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Nasdaq (NDAQ) and BYMA, Argentina's leading stock exchange group, have expanded their technology partnership. BYMA will adopt Nasdaq's real-time clearing platform for its central counterparty clearinghouse (CCP), complementing their existing partnership with Caja de Valores, Argentina's central securities depository. This move will enhance BYMA's post-trade ecosystem, improving speed, capacity, and connectivity while optimizing risk management.

The new system will allow BYMA to add capacity during high-volume periods and launch new products more quickly. It supports BYMA's shift to a model where cash and security settlement occurs at the central securities depository after netting at the clearing house, aligning with international best practices. This change will centralize liquidity, optimize collateral management, and simplify BYMA's existing structure.

Nasdaq (NDAQ) has implemented a change in accounting treatment for AxiomSL on-premises subscription revenues, now recognizing 100% ratably over the contract term instead of 50% upfront. This change results in a one-time, non-cash GAAP revenue reduction of $32 million for Q3 2024, covering November 2023 to June 2024. The adjustment aligns AxiomSL's revenues more closely with its annualized recurring revenue (ARR) and cash economics.

Despite this accounting change, Nasdaq reaffirms its medium-term growth outlook for all divisions and sub-divisions, including AxiomSL and Calypso combined. The company expects the Regulatory Technology sub-division to grow within its medium-term revenue growth outlook range for full-year 2024. This change does not impact AxiomSL's historical ARR, cash flows, or cloud-delivered license revenues.
