🇬🇧 London Stock Exchange suffers biggest exodus since financial crisis
The London Stock Exchange is on course for its worst year for departures since the financial crisis, as fears mount that more FTSE 100 businesses will quit the UK in favour of New York.
A total of 88 companies have delisted or transferred their primary listing from London’s main market this year with only 18 taking their place, according to the London Stock Exchange Group.
This marks the biggest net outflow of companies from the main market since 2009, while the number of new listings is also on course to be the lowest in 15 years as initial public offerings remain scarce and bidders target London-listed groups.
The exodus has continued despite efforts by the UK government, regulators and the LSE to boost the City’s attractiveness by reforming market rules and the domestic pensions system.
Analysis by the Financial Times last year identified London as the European stock exchange most at risk of suffering departures of big companies to the US.
The analysis ranked companies based on their valuation discount compared with a group of US peers, the share of their revenues generated in the US and the proportion of North American investors on their register.
The 18 large London-listed groups identified as flight risks included Rio Tinto and British American Tobacco. The pair have been pressured by investors to move their primary listing to Australia and the US, respectively.
“More UK companies are thinking about moving their listings to the US, and the UK’s valuation gap to the US has become larger,” said Goldman Sachs in a note on Friday.

THE COST OF THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS EXPLODED.
-
Owning a home.
-
Buying groceries.
-
Driving to work.
-
Paying insurance.
-
Even your morning coffee.
Nearly every major household expense costs dramatically more than it did just a few years ago.
Over the last 7 years:
• Coffee: +127%
• Home prices: +60%
• Auto insurance: +51%
• Gasoline: +49%
• Electricity: +44%
• Shelter: +35%
• Groceries: +33%
And that's before paying for healthcare, transportation, or eating out.
This is why so many families feel like they're falling behind even when they get a raise.
The biggest financial problem for millions of Americans is that everything is going up at the same time, while the government keeps showing a 2% inflation target.
