Established in 1971, Nasdaq, Inc. is best known for operating its equity exchange, though trading accounts for only about 22.5% of revenue. The company also provides market and financial data to investors, licenses Nasdaq-branded indexes, and supports corporate listings through its capital access segment, which contributes roughly 42.5% of sales. Its newest business, financial technology, built largely through the acquisitions of Verafin and Adenza, has broadened Nasdaq’s reach into capital markets management, financial crime prevention, and regulatory compliance software, representing about 35% of revenue as the company evolves into a more diversified technology enterprise.
