LSE Group stock (ISIN GB00B0SWJX34) was trading at GBp 8,234 on the London Stock Exchange on September 25, 2026, down 0.15 percent from the GBp 8,246 prior close. The company raised its 2026 organic income growth guidance after a strong first half, giving investors a fresh measure of operating momentum.

Guidance reaches 7 percent to 7.5 percent

In the six months ended June 2026, LSEG delivered 8.4 percent organic revenue growth and 6.9 percent reported revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14 percent, adjusted EPS rose 17 percent, and free cash flow per share advanced 37 percent, according to Yahoo Finance in its July 30, 2026 earnings-call transcript.

Sharecast reported on July 30, 2026, that LSEG lifted full-year organic constant-currency income growth guidance from 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent to 7 percent to 7.5 percent. The revised range puts the midpoint at 7.25 percent, compared with 7 percent previously, a quantified upgrade rather than a change in reporting language.

H1 margin stands at 52.4 percent

Underlying EBITDA margin reached 52.4 percent in H1 2026, compared with 49.8 percent in H1 2025. That 2.6 percentage-point improvement gives the guidance revision greater weight, although the company also reported adjusted net finance expense of GBP 149 million, versus GBP 66 million a year earlier.

Markets revenue grew 12 percent in the first half, while subscription growth reached 6.3 percent. The mix matters because recurring subscription expansion remains below the full-year target of 6.5 percent, leaving execution in the second half as the next measurable checkpoint.

MarketBeat reported on September 22, 2026, that six covering analysts rated LSEG Buy, with an average one-year price objective of GBP 120.83. The same report listed Citigroup at Buy after reducing its target from GBP 129 to GBP 127 on August 7, 2026.

Stock stays below yearly high

The intraday range on September 25, 2026, was GBp 8,220 to GBp 8,278, with volume of 398,931 shares. The 52-week range was GBp 6,684 to GBp 10,140, placing the current price 18.8 percent below the high, while market capitalization stood at GBP 40,092,165,201.
