Topped up to my target holding last week. share price is benefitting from combination of buy-back, the market volatility and HMG budget exchange rate to the dollar. Talking of buy-back, the number of shares in each trade seems mostly very few, 20 or so, in the scheme of things suggesting private investors selling.

The sale and success of Euromoney should provide a fillip. hxxps://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/e/euromoney-institutional-investor-ord-0.25p

so can anyone put a figure on what the share buy back will yield for the small investor?

Notwithstanding the real challenge of integrating Refinitiv, many large institutional investors were not pleased with the "surprise" earlier this year as management shocked the market with with a huge unplanned expense for the IT integration.

There is no excuse for that, either they did not undertake any due diligence on the IT integration, or if they did and choose to look the other way in an attempt to get the deal done. Neither is acceptable behaviour.

Many large institutional investors will be upset at LSE managements judgement, and now they are dumping stock. It will take time until confidence in current management returns, if at all ...

Situations like this usually open the door for opportunistic activists (Hedgies, PE or other Fintect entities) to try and exploit the value and franchise of LSE. However, I suspect that it will be difficult for any outright acquisition as LSE is seen as strategic UK infrastructure. Perhaps there will be an opportunity for a strategic partner to take a significant, albeit not a controlling stake, and help return some confidence.

We will see ...

Facts are that the CEO sold a large amount of shares and is buying a pitiful amount even at these prices which shows even he doesn't believe the bottom is in. System crashes on a billion(s) £ acquisition doesn't warrant a raise. Lost all faith as have other investors. WOuld buy back if it drops to 4800

I guess the market is showing it's a lack of confidence in the managements ability to deliver on the acquisition. Can't see any real appreciation or recovery until more positive news flow, and that will take time. However, I do suspect that eventually they will be able to provide positive updates on revenue, margin and growth, but I fear that will be later next year. If you are patient then a good opportunity to pick up shares on those bad days :-)

Speaking from personal experience, major IT integration programmes of the likes that LSEG have taken on are easy for Executives to sell to investors, than they are to deliver at street level. Long established IT platforms like LSEG's have typically evolved from a lower tech base, and do not lend themselves to integration easily. It will likely be a real wrestle to integrate with the Refinitiv platforms (which of course might also be old tech). Remember the not too distant banking IT integrations, and most UK GOV attempts at large scale IT. I have no direct experience of working on LSEG's and Refinitiv's IT platforms, but a lifetime of planning / architecting same.

I suspect that as integration project timescales slip management will succumb to throwing more cash at the problem and likely bring in a systems integrator (at some cost) to try and deliver. This usually equates to throwing more men and shovels into the hole.

However, as I mentioned earlier, at these prices they are a decent mid term buy only if the management can get a grip of the IT integration programme, otherwise we are destined for more volatility. Buckle up ...

the lead article in Investors Chronicle this week - "Death of the City? Rocked by two seismic events, will UK finance reinvent itself afresh or dwindle? And what are investors to make of it all?" - might be contributory factor. I still think the share price has fallen so it can go up again at and shortly after the interims as news of progress with R is digested. But GBP 10.00 is pushing it. As for buyers, the recent uplift has (and subsequent drop) probably removed most of them from the market for the time being

Just skim-read the presentation. A few things struck me. How come if the targeted growth is realistic the existing personnel, most of whom have been with R for some time, didn't achieve it before? WasR's so badly managed by comparison that it has taken LSE folk to gee it up? I guess the cloud and cloud-adoption (digitisation) will have helped accelerate. But aren't the number of customers in long-term decline: what with M&A surely the number of users is finite. Won't more of them do more in-house. Afteall, gathering data isn't difficult, time-consuming yes but there are so many outlets that it's hard not to build up a complete picture quickly. (Whenever someone interests me, i can do enough due diligence in a few minutes simply by knowing where to search. For example just bought a car from a dealership I'd never heard of before but within a few minutes found out that the owner of the company is having building work done on his house.) As for the effective of the data, ok we don't don't get to hear about the failures unless thousands of investors lose millions but otherwise that doesn't explain why fund managers generally equate to under-performance for investors.

according to Investors Chronicle, the 13 analysts coverage median forecast share price is GBP 85.00. Perhaps the share price has dropped so that it can go up again?
