NASDAQ Buying Philadelphia Stock Exchange? (NDAQ, NYX, ISE)
Published:
Last Updated:
CNBC was just reporting that The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) is close to purchasing the Philadelphia Stock Exchange for a sum of $500 million to $600 million.
This might not make sense to some, but this acquisition would give a substantial exposure to options trading. The deal is said to be closing at some point in the next week. Before counting your chickens here as a win, there is likely nothing keeping other exchanges Like NYSE (NYSE:NYX) or International Securities Exchange (NYSE:ISE) from making their own attempts to mark a deal for this exchange or others.
NASDAQ shares are up another almost 4% today at $49.60
