GlobalData Plc (LSE:DATA) said it is planning to move its stock market listing from AIM to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, with the intention of admitting its entire issued ordinary share capital to the FCA’s Official List in the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category. The company expects the transfer to complete on 5 March 2026 through an introduction of existing shares, alongside the cancellation of its AIM quotation, subject to the necessary regulatory approvals.
Management said the move is designed to elevate GlobalData’s profile by positioning the group on a more established and liquid trading venue, which could improve visibility with institutional investors and help broaden the shareholder base. The transition comes alongside a period of strong financial performance and strategic corporate actions, including share buyback activity, which have been viewed positively by the market.
At the same time, technical indicators point to bearish momentum in the share price, and valuation remains a point of debate, with a relatively high price-to-earnings ratio raising questions around potential overvaluation. Taken together, the outlook reflects a balance between GlobalData’s solid fundamentals and strategic progress, and near-term market and valuation risks.
