Which companies fully cancelled London trading?

Indivior’s announcement confirms its London secondary listing ended on 25 July 2025. Its primary listing had already moved to Nasdaq in June 2024. The Indivior record links both stages. Count the company once when describing companies leaving.

This is a selected tracker, rather than an exchange-wide register of every delisting. The company entries below include the source and reporting basis for each case.

Which companies changed their primary listing?

BHP’s completion announcement says the unification scheme became effective on 28 January 2022. BHP Group Limited became the sole parent. London retained a standard listing from 31 January 2022. The BHP record distinguishes this corporate change from an operational headquarters move.

Sunbelt Rentals confirmed that NYSE trading began on 2 March 2026, completing the primary-listing transition. It retained a secondary London listing. The Ashtead and Sunbelt record links the completion evidence.

Wise’s own announcement records its Nasdaq debut on 11 May 2026 and its retained secondary London listing. The Wise record separates that trading change from headquarters and tax residence.

Diversified Energy’s SEC filing of 26 November 2025 records the new Delaware parent from 21 November 2025. The Diversified record now links the completed legal change rather than only the earlier plan.

Ferguson’s SEC filing documents a merger creating a US parent. It also lists London as a registered venue for the new parent. The Ferguson record therefore describes a replacement parent, without treating it as a full end to London trading.

Does a listing move mean a business left Britain?

A listing is permission to trade shares on an exchange. A head office, legal incorporation and tax residence each have separate evidence. None follows automatically from a new trading venue.

The full tracker groups records by first-report date. That date can differ from shareholder approval or completion. The method explains those categories. These cases alone do not measure jobs lost, net capital raised or the exchange’s overall performance.

Which company events were first reported each year?

These entries cover listings, head offices and legal homes. Some have no recorded London link. A listing change does not show that staff moved.
