GlobalData Signals Robust 2025 Trading as It Prepares Move to LSE Main Market

GlobalData ( (GB:DATA) ) just unveiled an update.

GlobalData reported robust trading for 2025 despite a year of significant transformation, with expected revenue of about £322m, up 13% reported (1% organically), driven by stable subscription renewals across healthcare and non-healthcare markets. Contracted forward revenue is set to grow around 6% (3% organically), adjusted EBITDA is expected at roughly £110m with margins near 34%, and the company anticipates margin expansion back towards 40% in 2026 following cost synergies from six recent acquisitions and continued AI investment. The group ends the year with net debt of about £110m after substantial share buybacks and acquisition spending, supported by over £200m of available facilities, and says roughly 80% of 2026 consensus revenues are already visible through its recurring revenue base. In a move that underscores its growth ambitions and market maturity, GlobalData plans to transfer its listing to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange on 5 March 2026, a step that is likely to broaden its investor base and reinforce its positioning as a leading AI-enhanced information services provider.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:DATA) stock is a Hold with a £119.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GlobalData stock, see the GB:DATA Stock Forecast page.
