The latest update is out from London Stock Exchange ( (GB:LSEG) ).
London Stock Exchange Group has continued executing its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing around 1.07 million ordinary shares between 18 and 22 May 2026 through Goldman Sachs International at prices mostly in the low-to-mid £90s. The company intends to cancel these shares, underscoring an ongoing capital return strategy that may support earnings per share and signal confidence in its financial position.
Following the cancellation of the repurchased stock, LSEG will have 490,681,189 ordinary shares in issue, excluding 20,188,599 shares held in treasury, establishing 490,681,189 total voting rights. The updated share count and voting rights figure provides an important reference point for investors and other stakeholders in meeting disclosure obligations and tracking changes in their ownership stakes under UK transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LSEG) stock is a Buy with a £13070.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on London Stock Exchange stock, see the GB:LSEG Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on LSEG Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LSEG is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial performance (strong revenue growth and operating margins) and a positive earnings outlook with margin expansion, free-cash-flow targets, and substantial buybacks. These positives are tempered by premium valuation, mixed cash-flow stability in the latest period, and technical signals that suggest short-term strength but less favorable long-term trend positioning.
