London, United Kingdom // March 11, 2026 – Information Publishing Limited (IPL), an investment holding company specialising in capital markets data and software, has acquired Stockval Limited, a long-established provider of securities valuation services.
The acquisition strengthens IPL’s portfolio alongside its London-based subsidiary, Exchange Data International (EDI), and reflects the group’s strategy of expanding its capabilities in financial data and valuation services.
Founded in 1988, Stockval has more than 38 years of experience providing securities valuation services. Following the acquisition, the company will operate alongside Share Data Limited, an IPL subsidiary based in Horsham that has delivered comprehensive securities valuation and probate-related services to solicitors, executors, accountants and private individuals since 1995.
Under the new structure, the two businesses will work closely together while maintaining distinct areas of focus. Share Data Limited will continue to specialise in probate and private client valuation services, while Stockval will focus on institutional clients requiring securities valuation expertise.
Jonathan Bloch, CEO of Information Publishing Limited, said:
“Stockval has built a strong reputation for reliable securities valuation services over nearly four decades. This acquisition complements the work already carried out by Share Data Limited and strengthens our ability to support a wider range of clients across both institutional and private markets.”
Ben Giesbrecht, Consultant at Stockval Limited, added:
“Joining the IPL group represents an exciting new chapter for Stockval. By working alongside Share Data Limited and the wider IPL group, we will be able to further develop our institutional valuation services while benefiting from the group’s extensive expertise in financial data and capital markets. Importantly, continuity of service is assured and the client-facing team remains unchanged.”
The acquisition enhances IPL’s presence in the financial data and securities valuation sector by combining complementary expertise across its subsidiaries.
