ICG share price climbs as London financials rebound; what investors watch next

London, Feb 16, 2026, 10:54 GMT — Regular session rolls on.

  • ICG shares climbed in London, part of a rebound across UK financial stocks.
  • UK inflation numbers and retail sales figures are on traders’ radar this week.
  • Mark down May 21 for ICG’s full-year results.

Shares of ICG plc (ICG.L) edged up 1.64% to 1,732.00 pence during Monday’s session in London, based on the company’s share price feed. 1

London’s FTSE indexes picked up some ground, financials leading the way after a rebound. Traders kept an eye on upcoming UK inflation, retail sales, and business activity figures, all set for release this week—hoping for any signal on where the Bank of England might head next. 2

For ICG, it comes down to the fee base, which is tied to assets under management — not just the total, but the capital actually at work inside its funds. The alternative asset manager’s latest trading update put AUM at $127 billion and fee-earning AUM at $85 billion. That leaves $36 billion in “dry powder,” money that’s been committed but hasn’t started working yet. 3

Shares moved in a range from 1,714.00 up to 1,740.00 pence this session, following a prior close at 1,704.00 pence, according to Investing.com. 4

No new regulatory filings from ICG appeared on the London Stock Exchange Monday. The latest company update is still January’s trading statement, the RNS log for the stock shows. 5

The company highlighted raising $4.4 billion for the quarter and pointed out that LP Secondaries II, one of its funds, should start generating fees in the next few quarters. Transaction volumes ticked up modestly, though performance varied between strategies. 6

The stock could still take a hit if risk aversion returns. Fundraising and exits tend to stall in a weak environment, and asset values get squeezed in turbulent markets—performance fees feel it too.

ICG’s annual numbers drop May 21, marking the next key event for investors. 7
