But the real positive lies in what comes next. Management's guidance for 2026 points to revenue growth of between 6.5% and 7.5%, slightly ahead of what the market had been expecting. That suggests forecasts may soon be nudged higher and underlines confidence in the company's long-term growth story.

Much of the recent debate around LSEG has centred on artificial intelligence. Its shares have been caught up in a wider selloff, driven by fears that generative AI could disrupt data and software businesses. Management tackled those concerns head-on, putting AI front and centre.
