IG Group (IGG): news on Friday 23 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Friday morning, 23 October 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Coverage centred on IG's capital markets event, with a new strategy, the Underdog deal and UK prediction market plans, set against a 14% fall in third-quarter revenue. Guidance was reaffirmed, but one report described shares plunging on a revenue cut, so the tone is only slightly positive.
What drove it
- Underdog deal and strategy
- Q3 revenue decline
- guidance reaffirmed
