London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Stock: Boxing Day Snapshot, Buyback Moves, AI Partnerships, and Analyst Forecasts (26 December 2025)

MoneyWeek With markets shut, investors are using the pause to do what they always do when they can’t trade: re-run the narrative.

London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) Stock: Latest Buyback Updates, AI Partnerships and Analyst Forecasts as of 25 December 2025

London Stock Exchange Group plc (LSEG) heads into the Christmas break with investors focused on two big, very 2025 themes: capital returns (a large ongoing share buyback) and AI-driven distribution (integrating LSEG’s licensed market data and analytics into new “agentic” workflows, including ChatGPT and Microsoft’s ecosystem). Because UK markets are closed for Christmas and Boxing Day, the most recent actionable datapoints for LSEG stock are the final pre-holiday close on Wednesday, 24 December 2025, plus the company’s latest regulatory announcements, broker consensus, and recent strategic updates.

TOKYO — As Japan heads into the final full week of trading before year-end holidays, the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) is balancing three big forces at once: a higher-rate era after the Bank of Japan’s latest hike, fresh volatility tied to global AI enthusiasm (and occasional panic), and a steady drumbeat of market-structure changes—from IPO mechanics to new indices and AI-powered disclosure search.
