LSEG Unveils £3 Billion Buyback as Elliott Pushes for Change

The London Stock Exchange Group Plc has announced plans to buy back £3 billion ($4.1 billion) of its own shares, as it reported full-year results less than a month after it emerged that Elliott Investment Management had taken a stake.

The group, which bought back £2.1 billion in 2025, has already purchased £415 million of its own shares in the year to date and plans to pay out the additional £3 billion by February next year, according to a statement Thursday. The company also hiked its final dividend 15.7% to 103 pence a share and set new guidance for the next two years.
