I thank UBS for kindly plunging the sp, thereby enabling me to top up and reach my target holding. This morning's announcement of LSEG and Microsoft should help get the share price up to £8+ sooner than later.

"In equity news, UBS downgraded London Stock Exchange Group to 'neutral' from 'buy' on Thursday and cut the price target to 8,500p from 9,000p as it argued that forex headwinds will more than offset improving execution and valuation. The news sent the shares lower."

Why the tumble? Is it anything to do with the EU raid?

"Brussels is launching a fresh raid on the City's lucrative clearing houses as it attempts to force banks to shift business to the European Union. The European Commission has unveiled legislation that will give the EU a share of London's derivatives trading, which handles trillions of euros a year."

they don't have a monopoly: they provide and maintain the infrastructure for the London market in stocks and shares but they have no control over whether shareholders buy or sell. It is only if shareholders do that their activity contributes to LSEG revenue.

[the original goldbug] 11/11/2022 11:56

Just making the observation that in the current political environment it may not serve one that well to hide in a monopoly.

windfall taxes tend to be a consequence of non-discretionary expenditure. hardly a matter of life or death if people don't play the stock market.

[the original goldbug] 10/11/2022 20:46

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 10:05

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.

[trcml] 05/8/2022 08:31

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 13:20

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 17:42

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

[trcml] 26/4/2022 16:50

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.

[growthpotential] 24/3/2022 08:35

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?
