Third Outage in Three Months Hits London Stock Exchange

The disruption comes amid LSEG's ongoing transformation into a data services giant.

The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) suffered its third outage in three months, halting trading in about 2,000 smaller shares.
The recent outages come as LSEG is seeking to transform itself from an exchange provider into a data services giant.
In 2022, Microsoft Corp. agreed to buy a 4% stake in LSEG as part of a deal where LSEG agreed to spend billions on cloud services with the technology giant over the next 10 years.
In 2021, LSEG completed its $27 billion purchase of Refinitiv, which was meant to jumpstart the new era for LSEG.
LSEG plans to create five new divisions starting next year: data and analytics, FTSE Russell, risk intelligence, capital markets and post trade.
