LONDON, 22 June 2026 – GlobalData Plc, the trusted intelligence platform, today confirms its inclusion in the FTSE 250 Index following the latest FTSE Russell quarterly review. The promotion comes just months after the company’s move from AIM to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange in March 2026, and reflects the scale, maturity and momentum of the business.
The FTSE 250 comprises the mid-cap companies listed on the London Stock Exchange and is one of the most widely followed indices among investors in the UK and around the world. Inclusion raises GlobalData’s profile and increases its visibility among investors, analysts, clients and stakeholders, while broadening access to a wider base of institutional investment.
GlobalData is a productivity and intelligence platform that empowers leaders to act decisively in a world of complexity and change. By uniting proprietary data, human expertise, and purpose-built AI into a single, connected platform, it helps organizations see what’s coming, move faster, and lead with confidence. Its solutions are used by over 5,000 organizations across the world’s largest industries, delivering tailored intelligence that supports strategic planning, innovation, risk management, and sustainable growth.
Entry into the FTSE 250 caps a journey that, while the company was formed in 2016, draws on heritage stretching back decades. Through four phases of development since 2008, combining sustained organic innovation with targeted acquisition, GlobalData has built a single connected platform that unites a vast universe of proprietary data, a community of over 2,000 in-house experts, and a decade-long track record in purpose-built AI. The result is a decision engine that replaces traditional data siloes, static insights and reactive operations with curated, real-time intelligence delivered directly into customer workflows.
Mike Danson, CEO of GlobalData, says: “Joining the FTSE 250 is a significant milestone that reflects the strength of our business, the progress we have made together, and the confidence the market has in our future. But more than anything, it is recognition of the focus, resilience and commitment that colleagues across the business show every day – from serving our customers and delivering great work, to driving innovation and supporting one another. This achievement belongs to all of us.”
Jonathan Hardinges, Chief Strategy Officer at GlobalData, adds: “Our progression from AIM, to the Main Market, and now into the FTSE 250 underscores the scale and maturity of the platform we have built. We see this not as a destination, but as a foundation for our next phase of growth – continuing to turn data into foresight, questions into answers, and decisions into results, and delivering the intelligence that transforms uncertainty into opportunity for the world’s most successful organizations.”
Guided by its Growth Transformation Plan, GlobalData will continue to invest in its connected platform and AI capabilities, deepening the value it delivers to customers across the world’s largest industries.
