AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

NDAQ's shift toward recurring data, risk, and private-markets infrastructure supports durable growth and cash generation, but at ~26x earnings investors should wait for proof that Dasseti/LeveL drive accretive organic growth alongside continued deleveraging before adding aggressively.
