NDAQ Gross Margin Analysis

Gross margin measures the percentage of revenue a company keeps after covering the direct costs of producing its goods or services—essentially, how much profit it makes on each dollar of sales before other expenses.

At 40.3%, NDAQ’s gross margin sits below the sector median of 44.6%, placing the company in the 44th percentile among its peers, meaning roughly 56% of competitors have higher gross margins. No year-over-year figure is available, but the most recent quarter shows a sharp decline of 10.0% from the prior quarter’s 44.8% to 40.3%. The combination of a below-median level and a steep quarterly drop suggests the company is losing pricing power or facing rising input costs, which elevates near-term risk and may pressure profitability. This metric contradicts a bullish outlook but aligns with the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the margin is not critically low, yet the negative trend warrants caution without triggering an outright sell signal.
