The share of U.S. stock trades it handles edged up from a year ago but was slightly lower than in the second quarter. Older exchanges like Nasdaq OMX Group and NYSE Euronext have seen the share of trades they execute diminish in recent years because of newer competitors entering the market.

As recently as two years ago, Nasdaq OMX Group's market share for U.S. stock trading was around 30 percent.

The company handled the largest share of U.S. stock options trading during the third quarter, with its two options exchanges handling a combined 28.8 percent of all trades. Its European stock trading volume jumped 39 percent during the third quarter.

Nasdaq OMX Group reported net income of $101 million, or 50 cents per share, for the three months ended Sept. 30, up from $60 million, or 28 cents per share, a year ago.

Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters forecast Nasdaq OMX Group would earn 46 cents per share on revenue of $369.9 million.

Its shares rose 42 cents, or 2 percent, to $21.32 in morning trading.
