		</div><p>The owners of the Financial Times are considering selling the newspaper, according to reports.</p>
<p>Pearson PLC is said to be looking at possible buyers, with two unnamed sources claiming the FT could go for £1bn.</p>
<p>The Financial Times Group, a division of Pearson PLC, includes the paper, website, a 50% shareholding in The Economist and a joint venture with Vedomosti in Russia.</p>
<p>Media company Axel Springer SE has been named in reports as possibly having an interest but neither they nor Pearson have commented.</p>
<p>Alex DeGroote, an analyst at Peel Hunt, described the FT as “a classic trophy asset” but played down reports of the valuation.<br />
“If Pearson can get £1bn for the FT I will eat my hat,” he told Bloomberg.</p>
<p>Shares in Pearson rose 5% yesterday but closed down.</p>
