RELX plc ( (GB:REL) ) has issued an announcement.
RELX plc has repurchased 1.2 million of its own ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange, to be held in treasury, at prices ranging from 2,172p to 2,252p and a volume-weighted average of 2,219.4956p. The transaction, executed through UBS AG London Branch, takes the company’s treasury holding to 16.19 million shares, with 1.81 billion shares remaining in issue, and brings total buybacks since 2 January 2026 to just over 12.08 million shares.
The latest buyback underscores RELX’s ongoing capital management strategy, which typically aims to return surplus cash to shareholders and can enhance earnings per share by reducing the free float. For investors, the continued pace of repurchases signals confidence in the company’s valuation and cash generation, while modestly increasing the ownership percentage of remaining shareholders over time.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:REL) stock is a Buy with a £30.75 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on RELX plc stock, see the GB:REL Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GB:REL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:REL is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (high margins and excellent cash flow) and a constructive earnings outlook with broad-based segment growth and strong cash conversion. These positives are meaningfully offset by very weak technical momentum (below major moving averages with negative MACD) and a valuation that looks somewhat premium on P/E despite a moderate dividend yield.
