RELX plc ( (GB:REL) ) has issued an update.
RELX plc has repurchased 476,272 of its own ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange via UBS AG London Branch, paying a volume-weighted average price of about 2,606 pence per share. The shares will be held in treasury, lifting the company’s treasury stock to 28.8 million shares and leaving 1.8 billion shares in issue.
The transaction forms part of an ongoing buyback program under which RELX has acquired roughly 24.7 million shares since the start of 2026, signaling continued capital returns to shareholders and a management view that the current valuation supports further repurchases. The enlarged treasury position may also provide additional flexibility for future corporate actions or employee share schemes, while modestly enhancing earnings per share for remaining investors.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:REL) stock is a Buy with a £2866.00 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 supported primarily by strong financial performance (robust margins and free-cash-flow generation) and a positive earnings call with continued growth and strong cash conversion. These strengths are materially offset by weak technicals (broad downtrend and bearish momentum), while valuation is neutral-to-supportive.
