LSEG posted H1-23 top-line growth in line with the management’s guidance but disappointed on opex growth, which led to a miss on the EBITDA margin guidance. The management however remains confident that the company can reach its targets with top-line growth being further supported by the underlying revenue trends and investments in Data & Analytics. This confidence was reflected in the group’s capital allocation, as the interim dividend was increased and the second buyback program was launched.
