GlobalData has stated that its group revenue is set to increase by 13% to £322m in the year to 31 December.

The company also announced that it expects to move to the main market of the London Stock Exchange on 5 March.

In its latest trading update, the data, insight and technology firm said its performance in the 2025 financial year remained robust during a year of "significant transformation".

GlobalData expects earnings to be around £110m in the year to 31 December, with margins of around 34%. This figure is set to rise to 40% in 2026.

Furthermore, GlobalData expects to report net debt of approximately £110m, after returning over £110m in the year via share buybacks, as well as more than £40m spent on acquisitions. As of 31 December, the group had in excess of £200m in available facility.

In its outlook for the current year, the data company said its board remains confident in the group’s ability to deliver long term sustainable growth, with its recurring revenue model providing "significant visibility" over future revenue.

It stated that it had made progress executing against its growth transformation plan priorities and entered the year “well positioned to drive value” for its customers and shareholders.

Chief executive officer at GlobalData, Mike Danson, commented: "During 2025, GlobalData embarked on an ambitious period of transformation through our continued investment in AI, our people and go-to-market strategy, as well as integrating six newly acquired businesses into our platform. This process is a key part of our growth transformation plan and has been executed on an accelerated basis to drive longer term sustainable value.

"I believe that we have made significant progress in executing against our growth transformation plan priorities and remain well positioned to drive value for our customers and shareholders in 2026 and beyond."

GlobalData will publish its annual results on 2 March, and it expects to submit its application to move to the London Stock Exchange’s main market on 5 March.
