The latest announcement is out from London Stock Exchange ( (GB:LSEG) ).
London Stock Exchange Group plc has repurchased 142,650 of its ordinary shares on 8 April 2026 from Morgan Stanley & Co. International as part of its previously announced share buyback programme. The company plans to cancel these shares, leaving 496,683,821 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) and 21,451,599 held in treasury, setting the new total voting rights at 496,683,821.
The transactions, executed at a volume-weighted average price of about 9,025.68p per share across the London Stock Exchange venues, mark the final purchases under the irrevocable buyback arrangement with Morgan Stanley announced in February 2026. Completion of this phase of the buyback tightens LSEG’s share capital base and may enhance earnings per share, while providing shareholders with an updated denominator for regulatory disclosure of voting interests under FCA transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:LSEG) stock is a Buy with a £135.00 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.
