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

City AM Season 1 Episode 38

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.
