Legal & General (LGEN): news on Monday 5 October 2026
+3.7 positive
Coverage was led by a report of 7 percent half-year profit growth, which gives it a positive lean. A flat share price quote, a profile of its housing arm's executive and a note on a pension transfer margin squeeze had little net effect.
What drove it
