FUNDAMENTAL SCORE
63 / 100
Summary
Nasdaq, Inc. reported latest annual net income up 60.1% (YoY) but that surge partly reflects a small comparison base and should be treated as a base-effect gain. Revenue compounded at 9.9% a year (CAGR, or compound annual growth rate) and net income compounded at 16.7% a year over three years, showing multi-year improvement. The most recent quarter posted $540M in net income, a 6.5% QoQ (quarter-over-quarter) improvement even as quarterly revenue direction was declining. Assets cover liabilities 1.65 times, providing a clear balance-sheet buffer. The Altman Z-score is 2.20 and sits in the grey zone (distress below 1.10, safe at or above 2.60). A Piotroski F-Score of 8 on a 0 to 9 quality scale is a strong earnings-quality reading, and the P/E of 32.9 is approximately 1.4 times the S&P 500 average.

Data Source
This dashboard applies a modified 9-signal Piotroski F-Score (Piotroski, 2000) and Altman Z-Score models. Fundamental filing data is sourced from the SEC's EDGAR XBRL database (primary), with API Ninjas as backup for freshly-filed 10-Ks not yet in SEC.

Formula & Methodology
Trend inputAnnual revenue and net income year-over-year direction contributes 20% of the score.
Piotroski inputModified 9-test Piotroski F-Score (Quality) contributes 40% of the score.
Altman inputAltman Z-Score (Distress) contributes 40% of the score.
Rating ruleFormula: Trend (20%) + Piotroski F-Score (40%) + Altman Z-Score (40%). Trend blends annual revenue and net income year-over-year direction. Piotroski is the modified 9-test variant (7 classic + 2 cash-flow tests). Altman uses the 1968 Z-Score with Safe/Grey/Distress zones. Combined blend uses ±0.45 thresholds: Bullish at +0.45 or higher, Bearish at -0.45 or lower, Neutral in between. Missing sub-signals count as Neutral (0) and weights are not re-normalized — a company with fewer available signals must earn its rating from stronger reads on the remaining pillars.
