What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (£41.68). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (64/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

London Stock Exchange Group PLC (LSEG) currently trades at £88.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £34.54, implying the stock looks roughly 155.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of £95.25 per share, and 4 of the 13 models we run sit above the £88.30 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at £23.74, and 9 of the 13 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, London Stock Exchange Group PLC generated revenue of £9.3B at a net margin of 13.4%. Revenue grew 4.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.4%. Net debt stands at £7.8B. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026

Our scenario range runs from £32.95 (bear case) to £41.68 (bull case); at £88.30, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −55% fair-value upside, at −61%, LSEG screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly £0.5911 per share, which is 1.7 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
