“LSEG’s record performance continued in Q3, with accelerating growth across our subscription businesses and sustained performance in Markets. Reflecting this strength, we are raising our full-year guidance for revenue, EBITDA margin and free cash flow. We continue to work with the world’s leading financial institutions as they experiment with, integrate and scale AI across their organisations.

“Our strong cash generation enables us to invest in compelling growth opportunities while also returning capital to shareholders. The planned acquisition of Octus adds valuable proprietary solutions in the high-growth illiquid and private credit space. Alongside the acquisition of Trumid’s innovative credit trading services and our existing scale in liquid credit, we are becoming a global leader in fixed income data and trading.

“Through buybacks and dividends, we will have returned 10% of our market capitalisation to shareholders between January 2026 and February 2027, with capacity for a further £1.0-1.5bn of buybacks in 2027.

"LSEG is on track to deliver its strongest annual growth since 2018, and we continue to invest to further enhance our capacity for sustained, long-term growth and value creation, building a business that is better positioned than ever.”
