London Stock Exchange Group (ISIN GB00B0SWJX34) was trading at GBp 8,324 on the LSE on October 7, 2026 at 12:10 p.m. BST, down 0.74 percent from the previous close. The latest analyst signal came from Jefferies, which maintained a Buy rating and a GBP 110.00 price target on October 5, 2026, according to Markets Insider.
Jefferies keeps its Buy view
The Jefferies call adds to a constructive analyst backdrop after LSE Group's latest quarterly report. Markets Insider reported a Strong Buy consensus and an average price target of GBp 11,962.86, although the published target uses pence while the individual Jefferies target is stated in pounds.
A separate MarketBeat overview counted six Buy-rated analysts and listed a consensus target of GBP 120.83. It also cited Deutsche Bank at GBP 110, Royal Bank of Canada at GBP 136 and Citigroup at GBP 127 after a reduction from GBP 129.
Quarterly revenue reaches GBP 4.98 billion
LSE Group's quarter ending June 30, 2026, produced revenue of GBP 4.98 billion, compared with GBP 4.65 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. Net profit rose to GBP 814 million from GBP 649 million, according to Markets Insider.
The revenue increase equates to 7.1 percent, while net profit advanced 25.4 percent. The difference matters for investors because the profit gain outpaced the top line in the latest reported quarter, giving the analyst optimism a current operating basis rather than relying only on valuation.
LSEG describes its business as four connected divisions covering Data and Analytics, FTSE Russell, Risk Intelligence and Markets. The company's investor-relations page also identifies the H1 2026 interim results as its latest half-year reporting milestone, according to LSEG.
Stock stays below its yearly high
The GBp 8,324 intraday price stood 17.9 percent below the 52-week high of GBp 10,140 and above the 52-week low of GBp 6,684 on October 7, 2026. Trading volume was 115,287 shares at 12:10 p.m. BST, while the session range ran from GBp 8,288 to GBp 8,402.
The next scheduled company checkpoint is the Q3 2026 trading update on October 22, 2026, listed in the financial calendar published by MarketScreener. Until then, the key comparison is clear: quarterly revenue grew 7.1 percent, while net profit grew 25.4 percent.
