If you believe NDAQ can sustain faster revenue growth while closing the operating-margin gap versus ICE, then holding or accumulating NDAQ can still make sense because the current valuation premium is supported by better growth and capital returns; otherwise, the implied downside to $71.22 argues for caution.
NDAQ trades at 27.4x P/E versus ICE at 23.0x, and the provided implied price of $71.22 is 15.9% below the current price of $84.66. That points to a valuation premium that is only partly justified by NDAQ’s stronger growth profile.
