Stock price when the opinion was issued
(A Top Pick Sept 30/15. Up 34.71%.) This has done extremely well on the back of acquisitions. They are worldwide and on 6 continents. Made an acquisition in Canada recently. They own OMX, a Netherlands-based electronic platform, and then introduced a lot of technology to make it more efficient, bring down costs and increase margins. When he bought this, it was at about 15X earnings, and is now at about 18X. Not quite as compelling, but still a Buy.
It's done well for him for many years. They've been investing a lot in technology to offer customers things like risk-management tools. Also, their listings have done very well; the more IPOs and listings, the better for NDAQ.
(Analysts’ price target is $67.47)
