UBS sees subscription growth

The bank also expects annual revenue growth of 6.00 percent to 7.00 percent and earnings per share growth of 14.00 percent to 15.00 percent through operating leverage and buybacks, according to Proactive on October 8, 2026.

LSEG's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached GBP 4.98 billion, compared with GBP 4.65 billion a year earlier, while net profit rose to GBP 814 million from GBP 649 million.

Three recent LSEG events

On September 28, 2026, LSEG launched Active Intelligence for World-Check, with World-Check Resolve suppressing an average of 74.00 percent of false positives in testing, according to LSEG. On October 1, 2026, LSEG announced that Amit Zavery would join its board effective December 1, 2026, as reported by Finchannel. On October 8, 2026, UBS retained the GBp 11,700.00 target, making the AI revenue conversion the central test for the valuation.

What does the AI test mean?

The immediate test is whether subscription growth can hold above the 6.50 percent full-year target while LSEG turns AI adoption into measurable revenue. UBS expects the October update to cover revenue, while its current forecast points to 6.60 percent subscription growth in the third quarter of 2026.

Upcoming dates for LSEG

LSEG has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results webcast for October 22, 2026. Amit Zavery's board appointment is scheduled to take effect on December 1, 2026.
