		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview – Week of April 30th The focus this week will be on the labor market, with the April non-farm payroll report coming out on Friday. Many will be hoping that this report will provide confirmation that last month’s disappointment was just a one-off event and the positive trend line of the preceding months is still in place. Jobs aside, we are still in the midst of the first quarter 2012 reporting season, though we have crossed the mid-point of the cycle with about 60% of the results already in. With another 124 S&#38;P 500 companies reporting results in the coming week, we will have results from roughly 84% of the companies by the end of this week. The first quarter earnings season has turned out to be much ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Financial Times reported that NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX) is mulling the closure of its European securities lending platform unit – SecFinex – in order to merge itself successfully with Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse, as proposed earlier this year. Based in London and founded in 2000, SecFinex is a global electronic, web-based lending &#38; borrowing trading platform. In the same year, it also launched a private bilateral market, introducing the first stock loan electronic platform in the European region. Further in March 2007, NYSE acquired a 51% stake in SecFinex, whereby the latter operates as a subsidiary of NYSE’s LIFFE Holdings plc. Société Générale and ABN Amro own the remaining 49% stake. Meanwhile, NYSE’s decision to shut down SecFinex is based on the under performance of the business. SecFinex had about ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have a slew of economic and earnings reports on the docket today, but the Greek turmoil will likely continue to dominate the headlines. On the economic front, we got better-than-expected weekly Jobless Claims numbers, raising hopes for a favorable showing from Friday&#8217;s non-farm payroll report. We also have a surprise interest rate cut from the European Central Bank, likely indicating a new monetary policy course for the central bank under Mario Draghi, who replaced Jean-Claude Trichet only three days ago. A little later, we get the September Factory Orders and the October ISM Service Sector Index reading. The big wait on the U.S. economic front now is for the Friday labor market report. But irrespective of the quality of that report, the overall economic picture has improved markedly over ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Reuters reported that NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) plans to adopt a new capital plan in the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2011. Accordingly, the company intends to buyback more shares in the coming period, given the sharp price declines in the stock market. The company enjoys modest capital leverage that provides scope for stock repurchases and acquisitions. The new capital plan is further expected to help the company achieve its long-term leverage ratio target of 2.5x. Additionally, with free cash generation of $50–$75 million every quarter, NASDAQ has ample funds to buyback shares from time to time. Over the last several years, NASDAQ has expanded its business portfolio through mergers and acquisitions (M&#38;A). The outstanding technical performance along with the recent acquisitions have enabled the company to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX) and its merger partner Deutsche Boerse AG agreed to reconcile with the NYSE investors over a special dividend payout of $910 million, which was announced earlier this month. In February this year, NYSE and Deutsche Boerse had agreed to merge, in a $10 billion deal, based on regulatory approvals. However, a furore rose among the investors of NYSE when the company rejected NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) and IntercontinentalExchange Inc.’s (ICE) premium-priced joint takeover bid, over and over again, which was finally withdrawn by the parties. While NYSE had rejected the bid over multiple antitrust concerns that were further validated by the US officials, the investors were dissatisfied with the decision of going ahead with an undervalued all-stock bid of Deutsche Boerse. Consequently, a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We maintain our Neutral recommendation on NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) based on its current sustainability factor. The company’s first quarter earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate driven by strong revenue growth across the board coupled with moderate expense management. However, new listings and order intakes continued to be on the downside. NASDAQ has been facing intense competition with the recent wave of M&#38;A activities in the stock exchange industry that tends to reduce the market share and the leverage of its business. This includes both product and price competition and has continued to increase as a result of the creation of new execution and listing venues in the U.S. and Europe. While exchange operators across the globe are expanding their operating efficiencies through significant M&#38;A, NASDAQ is desperately seeking ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late on Sunday, US President Barack Obama declared: “I determined that we had enough intelligence to take action and authorized an operation to get Osama bin Laden and bring him to justice….After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body.” The press briefing instantly led to celebrations among citizens and the cheer was expected to be carried into the markets. However, the news of the death of the al-Qaida chief failed to sustain the gains for long. Combined with economic data and merger and acquisition news, markets rallied in the morning session, but thereafter declined modestly to end in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) dropped less than 0.1% to settle at 12,807.36. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 shed 0.2% to close at ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX) has again rejected the joint takeover bid from NASDAQ OMX Inc. (NDAQ) and IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE) for the second time within a fortnight, thereby backing the more friendly $9.8 billion merger deal with Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse AG that was agreed upon in February this year. While NYSE believes that the latest NASDAQ-ICE proposal did not offer anything striking, its prior deal with Deutsche Boerse will be able to provide almost as much cost savings as the NASDAQ-ICE deal. The recent estimates project about €400 million of cost savings in the NYSE-Deutsche deal, along with a €100 million benefit from cross-selling and distribution opportunities, all summing to $725 million. This is almost equivalent to $740 million of cost syn ergies estimated by NASDAQ in the last offer. ]]></description>

Total operating earnings, on non-GAAP basis, increased 19% year over year to $190 million. However, NASDAQ’s GAAP net income also came in at $104 million or 57 cents per share, dramatically up from $61 million or 28 cents in the year-ago quarter but down from $137 million or 69 cents in the prior quarter. Results in the reported quarter included $9 million of merger and strategic initiatives, a sub-lease loss reserve and other non-recurring items.

		<description><![CDATA[Despite that NYSE refused NASDAQ’s $11.3 billion take over offer earlier last week, NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) appears to still be very game to merge with NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX). On Friday, NYSE was reported to be open to selling its American Stock Exchange (Amex) in order to mitigate an antitrust concern, which was one of many reasons for NYSE’s refusal. Last Monday, NYSE affirmed its $10.0 billion merger deal with Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse AG, discarding NASDAQ and IntercontinentalExchange Inc.’s (ICE) rival bid of $11.3 billion, citing multiple concerns. The NYSE management cited that it is not interested in splitting up the company’s business while also extending additional debt burden on the merged company, thereby posing ample execution risk on the company.

(ICE), citing multiple concerns. The NYSE management cited that it is not interested in splitting up the company’s business while also extending additional debt burden on it, thereby posing ample execution risk on the company. Simultaneously, NYSE continues to work towards its acquisition by Frankfurt-based Deutsche Boerse AG announced in February this year. Last week, NASDAQ and ICE had offered $43.13 per NYSE share in a joint bid, one-third in cash and two-third in stock, totaling to approximately $11.3 billion. This was about 15% higher than the earlier proposed merger between NYSE and Deutsche Boerse of $10.0 billion. NASDAQ and ICE had planned to ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Markets shed a few points, on Monday, as investors remained concerned about companies missing their earnings estimates. Lower oil prices pulled back the energy sector while blue chips managed moderate gains and outpaced the broader market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) happened to be the only gainer among the benchmarks as it increased marginally, by 0.01% to close at 12,381.11. The two other benchmarks, the Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) and the Nasdaq Composite Index, lost 0.28% and 0.32% to end at 1,324.46 and 2,771.51, respectively. As the markets wait for the earnings season to start officially from next week, composite volumes remained light on the New York Stock Exchange, Amex and Nasdaq with only 6.73 billion shares traded against last year&#8217;s daily average of 8.47 billion.

		<description><![CDATA[Wall Street has been abuzz with the proposed merger between the NYSE Euronext (NYX) and Deutsche Boerse. The deal would create a new global exchange. It&#8217;s big news for the investment industry. It has also sparked patriotic talk on both sides of the Atlantic about the naming of the combined company. It will certainly bring a close look by regulators. Not to mention the hubbub about what will happen to the infamous New York Stock Exchange trading floor. For individual investors, it&#8217;s an interesting event, but not an actionable one. Trades executed by individual investors for buying or selling NYSE-listed stocks are currently routed to computers, not humans. Should the merger be completed, your trades will still be routed to computers. Over the longer term, it is possible that individual ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given the flurry of merger and acquisition (M&#38;A) activity in the industry, NASDAQ OMX Inc. (NDAQ) is reportedly hunting for a partner to bid against NYSE Euronext Inc. (NYX) who has agreed to combine with Deutsche Boerse in a $10 billion deal, last week. NASDAQ is also weighing other options of acquisitions or itself be acquired. Yesterday, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal reported that the NYSE deal with the Deutsche Boerse has been ground-breaking for NASDAQ, who is now desperately trying to retain its market value and strength in the industry. NASDAQ fears that the culmination of NYSE-Deutsche Boerse deal will diminish the former’s size and global footprint.  The prospective deal’s combined exchanges and clearing houses would generate an annual €4.0 billion ($5.5 billion) in revenues, more than any ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, markets shed their winning streak to fall marginally lower. Figures of lower than expected retail sales were disappointing enough to take the indices down. Moreover, weak energy and technology shares added to the jitteriness of investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.34% and closed at 12,226.64.The S&#38;P 500 dropped 0.32% and closed at 1,328.01. The tech-laden Nasdaq fell 0.46% and ended the day at 2,804. On the New York Stock Exchange, breadth of the market was on the negative side and for every 8 stocks that fell, 5 stocks ended in the green with only 571 million shares being traded. Coming to economic news, a report from the commerce department said for the month of January retail sales increased 0.3% lower than the 0.6% increase which economists ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A handful of economic reports has just been released. The news is mixed overall with a slight downward bias, and futures are down modestly in response at this hour. Retail sales were up 0.3% in January, down from the 0.5% expected and the adjusted December number, also 0.5%. You can blame the bad weather, but this is figure is still light, though it does remain in positive territory. December retail numbers are obviously much more important than January ones, though the December number had been ratcheted down 0.1%. This report counts auto sales as well, but even with autos stripped out the figure remained at 0.3%. The Empire State Index, which tracks manufacturing results just for the state of New York, increased to 15.43 for its February period, up from ]]></description>

Net operating income was $252.7 million in the fourth quarter 2010. The decline was primarily attributable to rise in operating and non-operating expenses and a series of charges in the reported quarter. The net operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2010 excludes the $51.3 million charge within tax expense to record the impact of combined state and local tax rates on the company&#8217;s existing deferred tax liabilities due to revised state apportionment estimates resulting from annual state tax filings. The result is also impacted by the $8.6 million charge to non-operating expense accelerated by termination of an interest rate swap associated with early payoff of a term loan. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Reuters, on May 18, the final major private options exchange left in the U.S., the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) unveiled its estimation of raising at least $292 million from the forthcoming initial public offering (IPO), through a regulatory dossier filed in April 2010. Previously, when the company declared to go public on Mar 11, CBOE had projected the IPO worth $300 million. However, given the ongoing debt crisis in Greece that followed the mysterious plummeting of U.S. stock prices, many IPO deals faced the destiny of being cancelled, postponed or discounted. Hence, CBOE plans to go ahead with its projected plan though currently expecting a reduced price than before. Founded in 1973, CBOE’s IPO plan had been devised long time ago but it got delayed due to the legal ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NYSE Euronext, Inc.’s (NYX) first quarter operating earnings per share of 54 cents came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, earnings was substantially ahead of 43 cents per share recorded in the year-ago quarter but came in lower than 58 cents in the prior quarter. Results reflect increasing momentum in the business model, particularly, its derivative business and the continuing benefit from the various cost reduction programs that was partially offset by weakness in cash trading markets. The company also benefited from the acquisition of NYFIX Marketplace that completed one full quarter, post acquisition. Accordingly, operating net income increased to $140 million compared to $112 million in the year-ago quarter. NYSE reported GAAP net income of $125 million or 50 cents per share as compared to $106 million ]]></description>

The company is expected to conclude both the processes by the end of the first half of 2010. The IPO will be coordinated by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS).

The company’s fourth quarter operating earnings per share of 58 cents came in substantially ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 48 cents, reflecting an increased momentum in the business model, continuing benefit of the various cost reduction programs and successful integration of the NYFIX acquisition. However, the top line declined on weak volumes. NYSE continues to drive its operating leverage and margin expansion through strong expense management, headcount reduction and lower taxes. These reflect increased momentum in its business model. The expense control in 2009 was achieved despite the addition of several new businesses including the former Amex businesses, NYSE Liffe Clearing and NYFIX, along with the structured costs related to these acquisitions.
