Overvalued by the market because it is a monopoly. How long is before the demagogues hound this one to pay windfall taxes?

Some sort of trading statement due on 21 October. I dp hope LSEG is doing well out of the markets' volatility.

[trcml] 26/9/2022 11:05

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.

Excellent results, This is my most profitable trading share, Just sold enough to cover my total purchase price, the balance at below nil. Will top up again when the share price drops to £70 or below.

[crabbeng] 02/8/2022 14:20

Perhaps we find out Friday when they report

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

Well, the AGM statement today was full and extremely positive. A joy to read! This has never been and is highly unlikely to become a dividend stock (management at various times and in various ways have made this very clear) but that doesn't mean the
great annual dividend increases, even from this level, are to be sneezed at! Of course today's share price drop most likely reflects that the shares will be XD as of AM 28.04

Companies do not (or rarely) have regard to the prevailing share price when setting the dividend, but how much they can afford to pay out. From a new investor's perspective, the current yield isn't that good but for existing long term holders whose purchase share price is much lower it is probably very good.

[adejuk] 26/4/2022 18:42

apols but the yield looks v low to me
cap growth is impressive but current yield is just over 1%
have i misunderstood?

Of all the companies on the LSE, i reckon LSEG is the only one to buy into. Reenue comes from anyone buying and selling shaes in any of the companies quoted on the exchange, IPOs, listing fees, members of the Stock exchange, and an extensive range of services and financial products that LSEG offers. Which for the most part continues regardless of what happens to the FTSE indices let alone the ups and downs of quoted company sps.

And as for Refinitive, a vast resource of information about companies galore. I appreciate that the market had its doubts about the price that LSEG paid for r and its ability to achieve a proper retur on capital but so far the doubters have had their doubts dispelled. whether the share price will fall to around £63 again who knows but as a buying opportunity I only wish I could afford more.

There are not many cos on the LSE whose dividends has increased every year and which has no obvious need to raise capital to rights issues or such like.

Perhaps a 2% boost

[crabbeng] 23/3/2022 09:10

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

London Stock Exchange Group PLC on Thursday reported a more-than-doubled pretax profit for 2021 after strong growth across all of its businesses, and said that it is confident about its outlook.The FTSE 100 stock-exchange and financial-information company posted a pretax profit of 987 million pounds ($1.32 billion) compared with GBP492 million a year earlier.Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization--a metric that strips out exceptional and other one-off items--rose 8.3% to GBP3.28 billion. The company's performance was above market views of adjusted Ebitda at GBP3.23 billion, taken from its compiled consensus.The group's total income excluding recoveries rose to GBP6.81 billion from GBP6.77 billion for the prior year. Total income was expected to be GBP7.13 billion, according to the group's compiled forecasts.Regarding its costs, the company said its cost-synergy plan is running significantly ahead of target, achieving a run rate of GBP151 million.

Nick Train will be pleased,was topping up in the last few months weakness in the share price

[1nf3rn0] 03/3/2022 08:06

Strong results. Regretting not topping up yesterday

[trcml] 02/3/2022 17:33

And again today. On balance, I reckon that out of all the quoted cos LSEG is by far and away the best in terms of revenue. Every single trade and they get paid.

[trcml] 24/2/2022 16:31

Earlier on today I bought at £63.50 before costs.

LSE reports next week and the City seems to hard to fathom out, Rio reports bumper results and is down, IHG up, Barclays up.

I think Russia/Ukraine crisis and Federal Reserve meeting could drag all shares down for a while?

Can we assume Refinitiv merger is now bedded in and delivering? What about the outages?

[stutes] 21/2/2022 14:33

3rd of March should provide some clarity over Refinitiv and how LSE is resolving its brexit fallout.

[stutes] 21/2/2022 13:56

If US goes into recession following Federal Reserve hiking too fast will LSE be hit or classed as a defensive share?

[stutes] 18/2/2022 15:14

The fragile tech market in UK seems to be struggling, Arm listing is reported to be set for USA, Amsterdam equity market is reported as doing better than London. The EU has set a June 2025 deadline for clearing trades. Overall LSE seems to have a few fires to put out and that doesn't include Refinitiv merger?

[stutes] 16/2/2022 10:34

If Softbank opts for US listing for Arm Holdings ioo will City use it as an excuse to downgrade LSE?

[robinnicolson] 05/1/2022 08:52

LSEG upgraded by Citigroup from 'neutral' to 'buy', with PT of 9300p from 8600p.

"2022 should see a return to a more respectable growth, with Refinitiv integration one step further along, an FX headwind set to become a tailwind".

"Simply too cheap".
