LONDON (Reuters) -London Stock Exchange Group reported in-line first quarter earnings and continued progress with its Microsoft tie-up on Thursday, as shareholders approved more buybacks and a potential doubling of CEO David Schwimmer's pay. LSEG was "confident of continued growth and improving profitability", adding that it was on track to meet all its financial guidance from November 2023. Shares in LSEG initially hit lows last seen in November, but recovered to be up 2% after analysts digested a drop in a closely-watched metric tracking recurring subscription revenue.
