Informa stock trades at GBp 889 as Barclays trims target

Informa stock stood at GBp 889 on the London Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026, down GBp 8.8 or 0.98 percent from the prior session. The immediate market marker is Barclays, which retained an overweight rating while cutting its target from GBp 1,055 to GBp 1,050 on September 21, 2026, according to Morningstar.
Barclays trims its target
The five-pence reduction leaves Barclays' target 18.1 percent above the September 24 share price. That calculation places the broker view above the quoted market level while preserving the overweight assessment.
The change is modest in absolute terms, but it gives investors a precise measure of how the latest broker update differs from the market quote. The stock's GBp 889 level therefore sits below the revised target by GBp 161.
Citigroup sees more upside
Citigroup took the opposite direction in its August 12, 2026 research update. The bank raised its Informa price objective from GBp 990 to GBp 1,090 and assigned a Buy rating, according to MarketBeat. The new objective is GBp 201 above the September 24 price, equivalent to 22.6 percent.
MarketBeat also reported a consensus Buy rating from six analysts and an average one-year target of GBp 1,135. That average stands GBp 246 above the reference price, making the spread between the market quote and broker expectations the clearest quantified comparison for the stock.
Half-year results set the backdrop
Informa announced its half-year 2026 results on July 30, 2026. The company's investor page described the release as showing strong underlying revenue growth and an outlook for stronger growth in 2027, according to Informa.
The reporting date matters because the analyst revisions followed the latest interim update rather than an older annual publication. For investors, the key tension is visible in the numbers: Barclays trimmed its target, while Citigroup raised its objective and the six-analyst average remained at GBp 1,135.
Stock remains below broker targets
Informa stock stood at GBp 889 on September 24, 2026, on the London Stock Exchange, with a daily change of minus 0.98 percent and a session range of GBp 883.40 to GBp 905.40. The quoted level remains below both the revised Barclays target of GBp 1,050 and Citigroup's GBp 1,090 objective.
