MarketAxess Holdings (MKTX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
MarketAxess Holdings has demonstrated a robust performance in the third quarter of 2024, achieving a US high-grade (USHG) market share of 19.5%, reflecting a quarter-over-quarter increase of 73 basis points. The company reported an average daily notional volume (ADNV) of $40.5 billion, a significant increase of 38% year-over-year, highlighting strong demand in the fixed-income trading segment, particularly in higher frequency credit volumes. Additionally, MarketAxess maintained a solid operating margin of 42.1%, surpassing previous estimates and indicating effective cost management alongside revenue growth, which was up 20% year-over-year.
Bears say
MarketAxess Holdings is facing a negative outlook primarily due to lower-than-expected trading volumes and revenue capture, which has prompted a revision of financial estimates. Key performance metrics indicate a decline in blended fees per million (FPM) from $64 in the previous quarter to $57 in the most recent period, reflecting increased exposure to Rates volumes. Additionally, the company's market share in the high-grade and high-yield credit segments has stagnated, raising concerns about competitive dynamics within fixed-income trading and positioning MarketAxess as a "show-me" story in the near term.
