Indivior PLC, known for its specialty in treatments for substance use disorders, is set to change its primary stock market listing from the London Stock Exchange (LSE) to the Nasdaq Stock Market. The move follows overwhelming shareholder approval, with the transition officially taking effect on June 27, 2024. As reported by Nasdaq, this decision marks a significant step for the company as it aligns its operations closer to its primary market.
Despite this shift, Indivior will retain a secondary listing on the LSE, ensuring UK investors remain engaged with the company. This dual listing strategy allows Indivior to leverage its existing investor base in the United Kingdom while predominantly trading in its most lucrative market. According to Shares Magazine, the new Nasdaq primary listing reflects the company's concentration on maximizing opportunities in the U.S.
Indivior generates around 81% of its sales in the United States, underscoring the strategic rationale for the move. As City A.M. notes, this transition also mirrors a wider trend of UK firms considering primary listings in the U.S., which could have long-term implications for the competitiveness of London's financial markets. Indivior's shift to Nasdaq demonstrates its intent to capitalize on growth opportunities within its largest market sector.
