London Stock Exchange in talks to combine with Refinitiv. It would also transform the LSE into the main rival to billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s financial news and data empire https://t.co/8wcioa0F3D via @financialtimes #merger #mergers #LSE #Bloomberg #investment #Refinitiv

Thomson Reuters, owner of 45% of Refinitiv, will get a 15% stake in the London Stock Exchange if the $27 billion Refinitiv sale goes ahead. Blackstone will get a 22% stake and double the value of its original investment less than a year after its buyout https://t.co/Ikmm9ePf63

If the LSE buys Refinitiv you could make a plausible bet that Bloomberg’s eventual exit strategy is a merger/purchase by ICE; every exchange needs to be a data provider. Mike is 77. https://t.co/X7E9MDe6Vy
