TP ICAP Group PLC has registered its Parameta Solutions arm as a separate company, in a move which could pave the way for a sale or a float of the data unit, the Financial Times reported Saturday.
The FT, citing people with knowledge of the matter, reported that Parameta was registered last month as a standalone company.
The FT noted TP ICAP has faced investor pressure to sell the unit, in a bid to lift the interdealer broker’s share price.
TP ICAP shares closed down 1.5% at 188.20 pence each in London on Friday. The stock is up 1.6% over the past 12 months, but has shrunk around 50% since the onset of the pandemic. It has a market capitalisation of £1.45 billion.
Citing one investor, the FT reported that Parameta could generate £1.5 billion in an initial public offering. A listing is the ‘most likely’ outcome for the unit, the newspaper reported.
