Chair/CEO Friedman sells 113,611 NDAQ shares at $85.44 for $9.7M; holds 1.99M post-transaction

Adena T. Friedman, Chair and CEO, sold 113,611 shares at $85.44 on 2026-04-01, reducing her holdings by 5.4% to 1,991,941 shares and realizing $9,706,923.84. At his prior NDAQ trades, the insider's 90-day outcomes showed mixed results: a sell on 2026-01-02 returned -10.1% over 90 days (well-timed), while a buy on 2023-07-31 returned -6.7% over the same horizon (poorly-timed), with only 1 of 2 prior measurable NDAQ trades at the 90-day mark being well-timed. Across Friedman's full open-market history (cross-ticker), sells have posted a 100.00% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -10.1%, but his buys show a 0.00% win rate over 90 days. The current stock price of $86.65 sits -14.2% from the 52-week high of $100.98, and the company's fundamentals remain solid with $1.958B quarterly revenue, net income of $423.0M, and 11.6% annual revenue growth. The timing and sizing of this sale by the company's top executive warrant monitoring given the mixed execution pattern at this specific ticker.

Significance 4/10

Friedman (CEO) sells 92,840 NDAQ shares at $90.08 on 2026-03-06; holds 2,079,323 post-sale.

CEO Adena T Friedman sold 92,840 shares on 2026-03-06 at $90.08, reducing holdings by 4.3% to 2,079,323 shares—a moderately sized reduction from her 2.17M-share position. The stock has since declined to $87.60 (current price), trading 13.2% below its 52-week high of $100.98, though it is up 3.3% over the past 30 days. Friedman's cross-ticker sales history shows an average 30-day return of -3.8%, but this metric is limited (only 2 prior sales). At NDAQ specifically, her prior two sales (2026-02-02 and 2026-01-02) showed mixed outcomes: the February sale saw a 30-day decline of -8.0%, while the January sale saw a 30-day gain of +0.5%. The company's fundamentals remain solid—revenue of $1,958,000,000.00, net income of $423,000,000.00, and annual revenue growth of +11.6%—which does not suggest material distress. The sale represents routine portfolio adjustment by a major shareholder rather than a definitive signal of strategic concern.

Significance 6/10

CEO Adena Friedman sells 300,000 NDAQ shares for $29.1M; stock down 13.1% from 52-week high

Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO of Nasdaq Inc., executed an open-market sale of 300,000 shares at $96.91 on February 2, 2026, reducing holdings by 13.5% to 1,924,903 shares post-transaction. The sale occurs as NDAQ trades -13.1% below its 52-week high of $100.98 and -9.3% over the past 30 days, following a recent January 2 sale that has returned +0.5% through its 30-day window. Friedman's cross-ticker track record shows limited timing precision: 0 of 1 prior trades achieved well-timed outcomes at the 90-day mark, with his prior buy at this ticker (July 2023) delivering -6.7% over 90 days. The current sale at depressed valuation relative to recent peaks, combined with consecutive sales within one month, warrants investor attention, though the Company maintains strong fundamentals with $2.0B quarterly revenue, 22.0% annual growth, and $50.1B market capitalization.

Significance 6/10

NDAQ Chair/CEO Adena Friedman sells 300,000 shares for $28.9M at $96.39 on 2026-01-02, reducing stake to 1.92M shares

Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO of NASDAQ, executed a substantial sale of 300,000 shares (300.0K shares) at $96.39, representing a 13.5% reduction in her 2,224,903 share pre-transaction position. The current stock price of $100.69 is at the 52-week high, suggesting the sale occurred at a discount to current valuation. The timing is notable: the stock has appreciated 11.6% over 30 days and 12.0% over 90 days since the sale date. Her sole prior open-market purchase at NDAQ in July 2023 showed a 90-day return of -6.7%, and her broader cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% 90-day win rate on buys. The company fundamentals are solid—revenue of $1,958,000,000.00 (latest quarter), net income of $423,000,000.00, and 22.0% annual revenue growth—though the P/E of 35.33 reflects premium valuation. This sale by the top executive warrants monitoring given the substantial dollar volume and the contrast between the execution price and current market levels.
