NEW YORK - Nasdaq, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) announced Thursday that its Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share on the company’s outstanding common stock. The company has maintained dividend payments for 14 consecutive years, with a current annual yield of 1.22%. According to InvestingPro data, Nasdaq has raised its dividend for 13 straight years.
The dividend will be paid on September 26, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 12, 2025, according to a press release issued by the company.
Nasdaq, which operates as a global technology company serving corporate clients, investment managers, banks, brokers, and exchange operators, noted that future declarations of quarterly dividends and the establishment of future record and payment dates are subject to approval by the Board of Directors.
The company provides data, analytics, software, exchange capabilities, and client-centric services to its customers in the global capital markets and broader financial system.
The dividend announcement comes as part of Nasdaq’s regular quarterly financial activities. The company made no changes to the dividend amount compared to previous distributions.
In other recent news, Nasdaq has been the focus of several analyst updates and corporate developments. Piper Sandler raised its price target for Nasdaq OMX Group to $97, maintaining an Overweight rating, citing the company’s reduced sensitivity to trading volumes. Similarly, Jefferies increased its price target to $86, noting an upward revision in market services revenue projections, bolstered by robust trading volumes in various equities and derivatives. UBS also raised its price target to $95, highlighting strong trading metrics in US options and European equities, alongside improved index business performance.
In another development, Nasdaq confirmed awareness of a preliminary proxy filed by Invesco QQQ Trust, proposing structural changes that would not affect Nasdaq’s licensing arrangements or the administration of the Nasdaq-100 Index. If approved, the changes would see Invesco covering the license fee from its management fee, rather than the QQQ Trust paying directly. Additionally, short interest in Nasdaq securities rose to 16.93 billion shares as of June 30, 2025, an increase from the previous period. The number of Nasdaq Global Market securities with short positions also grew, reflecting heightened market activity.
