Nasdaq Launches Reimagined MarketSite
September 07 2023 - 8:00AM
Nasdaq (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today announced the reopening of the second
floor of its iconic MarketSite at 151 W. 42nd Street in Times
Square. The new space includes a state-of-the-art broadcast and
production studio that will be home to CNBC’s “Fast Money,” a
dedicated IPO Center for first trade celebrations, and a new
gallery space commemorating the historic moments and innovation of
our listed companies, many of which are Nasdaq-100® companies.
“Since its inception, the Nasdaq MarketSite has served as a
global hub of innovation – a place where high-performing companies
come to celebrate their achievements and share their success
stories with the world,” said Nelson Griggs, President of
Capital Access Platforms, Nasdaq. “Our investment in
MarketSite represents our commitment to our core mission: to serve
as the trusted fabric of the financial system. We want to elevate
every moment of the client experience, whether it’s an IPO, bell
ceremony, analyst day, or client reception, and our newly renovated
MarketSite will ensure that our clients are walking away feeling
inspired.”
As a part of the investment in MarketSite, Nasdaq has created a
brand-new IPO and Market Intelligence Center to create more
visibility for first-trade celebrations. Year to date, Nasdaq
welcomed 87 IPOs, representing an 87%-win rate for eligible IPOs,
further cementing its position as the top destination for companies
looking to join the public markets.
“With the new MarketSite renovation, we have created a space
that reinforces our role as the world’s premier listings exchange
and home to the most innovative companies across the globe,” said
Karen Snow, Senior Vice President and Global Head of
Listings, Nasdaq. “We’ve opened thousands of IPOs from the
MarketSite, and the new IPO Center elevates our ability to provide
an inclusive listing day celebration for our clients and their
employees.”
The newly updated second floor of the MarketSite will be home to
a state-of-the-art broadcast studio boasting over 700 square feet
of digital signage, six new ultra-high-definition cameras on the
production floor, and two cinema cameras on tracks with robotic
descending arms. With access to cutting-edge production equipment
and a high bandwidth cloud distribution pipeline, Nasdaq will be
able to produce more dynamic live broadcasts for network shows and
media partners.
“Fast Money,” CNBC’s post-market program hosted by Melissa Lee,
began broadcasting from the new studio on September 5. The Nasdaq
MarketSite has served as the show’s backdrop every weeknight at 5pm
ET for the past 16 years while Melissa and the “Fast Money” traders
bring investors the day’s most important, actionable news and
analysis.
“CNBC’s ‘Fast Money’ is ideally situated at the Nasdaq
MarketSite to report on the trading day’s biggest stories,” said
Dan Colarusso, Senior Vice President of CNBC Business
News. “This new studio will make the conversation on the
show more dynamic for both the audience and the traders on
set.”
The renovated MarketSite includes a new gallery space in Times
Square that celebrates and honors Nasdaq-listed companies whose
iconic brands, products, and innovations continue to disrupt
industries, solve the world’s most pressing challenges, and power
opportunity across the globe. The gallery is curated with physical
artifacts and digital displays that represent some of the notable
companies listed at Nasdaq, including:
- An original Telequote III Terminal, one of the
first electronic devices used to obtain Nasdaq Representative
Bid/Ask prices and indices;
- Amazon’s Hercules Drive, one of the over
750,000 mobile robots designed, built, and deployed by the company,
which can lift and move 1,250 pounds of inventory, improving safety
and efficiency across retail operations; and
- Replicas of the Ingenuity
Mars Helicopter, the first autonomous controlled flight on
another planet, and the Perseverance Mars Rover –
both of which utilize computing capabilities provided by the
Qualcomm Flight™ Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
The MarketSite reopening coincides with the launch of Nasdaq’s
new brand campaign, Question Today, an evolution of the company’s
longstanding brand platform Rewrite Tomorrow, and reflects Nasdaq’s
transformation into a global financial technology company.
