The London Stock Exchange (LSE) is experiencing a significant decline, with UK companies increasingly considering relisting in the United States. According to Goldman Sachs, this trend could lead to more UK firms moving their listings to the US, as the valuation gap between the UK and US markets widens. The LSE's shrinking stock market is noted to be the fastest in over a decade, with the current exodus of companies being the largest since the financial crisis of 2009. Analysts highlight that equities contribute less than 4% of the LSE's gross profits, with fixed income being over five times more significant. The situation has raised concerns among market participants, prompting discussions about the future of the LSE. Additionally, the fashion retailer Shein is reportedly seeking an exemption from listing rules ahead of a potential IPO in London, indicating that some companies are still considering the LSE despite the ongoing challenges.
