The 18 Wall Street analysts covering Nasdaq, Inc. have a median 12-month price target of $119, with estimates ranging from $87 to $135. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.

As at 3 Nov 2026, Nasdaq, Inc. ranks 95 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Quality (98 of 100).
