The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG.L) reported a 16.2% rise in third-quarter income, with growth across all divisions.

The stock exchange and financial information company said it was "well positioned" for further growth, and that there was no change to guidance or targets, after third-quarter income rose by 16.2% — or by 5.9% on a constant currency basis — to £1.91bn ($2.13bn). The figure was ahead of forecasts for around £1.88bn.

The group's shares were down 2.6% in early trading after the announcement on Friday.

"Our strategy is working, delivering growth and increasing efficiency," LSEG chief executive David Schwimmer said in a statement.

Data and analytics drove the gains with an increase to £1.27bn from £1.10bn, while capital markets rose to £369m from £309m.

"We have delivered another strong quarter, with good growth across all businesses. The consistency of delivery in recent quarters demonstrates the strength of our business model, generating quality recurring revenues from a range of services that are highly valued by our customers,” Schwimmer added.
