From Newcastle to New York? Why Sage isn’t swapping London for the US | Boardroom Uncovered

Episode notes

In this episode of Boardroom Uncovered, City AM UK Editor Jon Robinson sits down with the CEO of Sage Group to unpack the challenges faced by UK-listed tech companies and the reasoning behind the FTSE 100 giant’s decision to remain headquartered in the UK. With the company boasting a global reach and nearly 40 per cent of its shares held by US funds, the conversation explores why a move to the Nasdaq (or another US listing) isn’t currently on the cards. At the same time, the CEO argues that London-listed firms are undervalued in part because they fail to tell a compelling, consistent growth story, and because peer groups are thin in the UK market. He stresses that access to capital isn’t the issue for Sage - but the perception of value and the comparative narrative are.
