Airtel and Sumup are planning London stock market listings worth about $20bn

Telecom giant Airtel wants to float its mobile money division by the end of 2026, valuing the business at roughly $10bn. Payment firm Sumup is aiming for a matching $10bn debut in early 2027, having delayed the move to avoid recent market turbulence. Experts hope these massive deals will encourage other digital businesses to choose Britain over America when selling their shares.
