GreensKeeper Asset Management stated the following regarding Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE) in its Q1 2025 investor letter:

"Rounding out our top 5 performers in Q1 were Elevance Health (ELV) +17.9% and Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE) + 15.8%. As mentioned in the last Scorecard, we believe the sell-off in ELV over the past year has been overdone, and the stock is trading at a significant discount to our estimate of its intrinsic value. The recent rebound reflects a partial correction of that mispricing. ICE continues to perform well as a significant portion of its earnings is driven by transaction volume on its exchanges and increasing demand for financial data, both of which generally increase when panic-induced volatility hits the markets."
