What LSEG does
LSEG operates a multi-layered B2B infrastructure model. It creates value by owning proprietary market data, benchmark IP, news distribution rights, regulated trading venues and post-trade infrastructure, then embedding those assets into institutional workflows. Customers buy desktop and enterprise data products, index and benchmark licences, risk and compliance software, and access to execution, clearing and settlement infrastructure. This creates recurring revenue, transactional revenue and high switching costs across the financial services stack.
Category differentiation
LSEG is not an advertising, martech or general cloud software company. It is a financial markets infrastructure, data and benchmark operator serving institutional market participants.

Financials · Recorded impact score: 4/5
UBS has reiterated a 'buy' rating on Palantir Technologies, raising its price target by 14% to $250, implying 44% upside. Analyst Karl Keirstead attended Palantir's AIPCon event and came away more confident in the company's position as a leading AI enabler.
