Tesco Becomes Latest European Large Cap to Trade on OTC Markets in New York

On January 5, 2026, OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: OTCM), the operator of regulated markets for over 12,000 U.S. and international securities, announced that Tesco PLC (LSE: TSCO; OTCQX: TSCDY, TSCDF) has qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market in New York, giving U.S. investors transparent and regulated access to one of the United Kingdom’s largest grocery retailers. Tesco’s entry into the OTCQX Best Market reflects a wider trend in 2025 of major European companies, including London Stock Exchange Group, Aviva, Compass, Reckitt Benckiser Group, Bayer AG and OMV AG, choosing OTCQX to strengthen engagement with U.S. investors. The move allows Tesco to complement its existing London Stock Exchange listing by expanding its reach to U.S. capital markets without undertaking a full U.S. exchange listing and its regulatory complexities. Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group, highlighted that the OTCQX platform provides an accessible regulated venue that supports companies’ efforts to broaden their U.S. investor base while remaining anchored in their home markets. Tesco PLC, headquartered in the UK, serves millions of customers weekly through its extensive network of stores and online operations across several countries including the UK, Ireland, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia. #Tesco #OTCQX #USMarkets #EuropeanStocks #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
