12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Friday's Intraday Session

MeridianLink Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLNK#NYSE">MLNK</a>) shares are trading lower by 7.4% to $21.22 during Friday&#8217;s session after the company announced an underwritten secondary public offering of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/b41059890/meridianlink-announces-pricing-of-secondary-offering-of-common-stock">6 million shares</a>.
The selling stockholders have also given the underwriter a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 900,000 shares. MeridianLink will not receive any proceeds from this sale. 
The offering is expected to close on September 30, pending customary conditions. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is managing the offering as the sole underwriter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MLNK Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in MeridianLink&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MLNK has a 52-week high of $25.88 and a 52-week low of $14.89.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Friday's Pre-Market Session

MeridianLink shares are trading lower after the company announced an underwirtten secondary public offering of 6,000,000 shares.

Offerings

MeridianLink Announces Launch Of Proposed 6M Share Common Stock Offering By Selling Shareholder

Nasdaq Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) stock gained after B of A Securities analyst Craig Siegenthaler <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NDAQ/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">double-upgraded the stock</a> from Underperform to Buy and raised its price target from $53 to $90.
Siegenthaler applied a 25x multiple on his 2026 EPS to derive the price target. The multiple implies a slight discount to Nasdaq&#8217;s aspirational software and information services peer group but is a premium to its current valuation.
The analyst highlighted that the solutions segment now comprises 78% of revenue. Information services peers like S&amp;P Global Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPGI#NYSE">SPGI</a>), Moody&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCO#NYSE">MCO</a>), and MSCI Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSCI#NYSE">MSCI</a>) trade at 30x 2026E earnings and have a fair amount of overlap with Nasdaq&#8217;s Capital Access Platforms segment, the analyst said.
Similarly, its FinTech segment comprises 36% of group revenue, with management guiding toward 10%-14% growth over the medium term. Other financial vertical software companies MeridianLink, Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MLNK#NYSE">MLNK</a>), nCino, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NCNO#NASDAQ">NCNO</a>), and Jack Henry &amp; Associates, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JKHY#NASDAQ">JKHY</a>) with comparable growth profiles are trading around 30x-40x EPS, the analyst noted. Nasdaq, however, trades at just 21x consensus 2026 EPS, he added.
The analyst noted an upward rerating would stem from a pause in dealmaking, accelerated deleveraging, business streamlining, and an acceleration in revenue growth.
As per Siegenthaler, improving macroeconomic conditions in conjunction with long backlogs should make for an IPO rebound in 2025.
Specifically, equity market valuations have recovered to 2021 levels while volatility should normalize lower after the U.S. presidential election and Fed rate cuts, the analyst said.
At the same time, he added that private equity sponsors have a long pipeline of aging portfolio companies, and limited partners are demanding liquidity.
He said that a comeback in IPOs would directly benefit Nasdaq&#8217;s listings segment and have positive second-derivative impacts on its trading, corporate services, and financial data businesses.
Price Action: NDAQ stock traded higher by 2.22% at $72.97 at the last check on Wednesday.
