Harris Associates Concentrated Strategy Tony Coniaris | “The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) is a vertically integrated, multi-asset trading infrastructure and data company. The group's assets include an attractive set of what we see as monopolistic/olig” | BULL | Q1 2026 Mar 31, 2026 | View Pitch |
Troy Multi-Asset Strategy Sebastian Lyon & Charlotte Yonge | “Experian's shares were -1% in 2025 and LSEG's were -20%. They are therefore illustrative of companies that have held back the Strategy's returns this year. Consistent with much of the rest of the portfolio, operating results remain solid. Both companies will almost certainly report double-digit growth in earnings for 2025, and the companies have met or exceeded investors' expectations for the year. The challenges have not so much been financial but hypothetical – focussed on AI's potential to change competitive dynamics in their industry. BSD Analysis: LSEG's moat is market plumbing: benchmarks, clearing, data, and post-trade services that the financial system cannot casually replace. The real crown jewel is data and analytics, not trading venues, which shifts the model toward recurring, high-margin revenue. Integration of Refinitiv raised execution risk, but also cemented LSEG as a data-first exchange operator. Switching costs are structural—contracts, regulation, and workflow dependence do the locking in. Growth is steady rather than explosive, but visibility is excellent. Capital allocation discipline matters because acquisitions define long-term returns. The bull case is continued data monetization layered onto indispensable infrastructure. The bear case is slower growth exposing leverage taken to build the moat. LSEG compounds by owning the rails, not the traffic.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Oct 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Troy Multi-Asset Strategy Sebastian Lyon & Charlotte Yonge | “During the December 2025 quarter, we initiated a position in London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). LSEG is highly diversified, with many of its businesses embedded in the plumbing of the global financial services industry. While it does own the London Stock Exchange, as the Group's name suggests, that business only accounts for a small percentage of the company's operations. BSD Analysis: LSEG has quietly transformed from a trading venue into a global data and financial infrastructure powerhouse. The Refinitiv acquisition shifted the earnings mix toward recurring, high-margin information services. Indexing, clearing, and data create a diversified revenue base that dampens market volatility. The Microsoft partnership adds credibility and distribution to its data ambitions. Investors still anchor on “exchange” multiples, missing the SaaS-like characteristics of the business. Capital intensity is manageable, and pricing power is real. LSEG is less about trading volumes and more about owning the pipes of global finance.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Oct 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Brown Advisors Global Leaders Strategy Mike Poggi | “The managers view London Stock Exchange Group as a successful turnaround following its acquisition of Refinitiv. Despite initial skepticism regarding its ability to combat market share loss from past underinvestment, LSEG has steadily achieved incremental growth and established itself as a leading provider of real-time proprietary data services through deliberate reinvestment.” | BULL | Q1 2025 May 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
