RELX plc ( (GB:REL) ) has shared an announcement.
RELX plc has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 500,000 ordinary shares on 27 February 2026 through UBS AG London Branch on the London Stock Exchange, at prices ranging between 2,501p and 2,588p and a volume-weighted average price of 2,561.5231p. The acquired stock will be held in treasury, bringing total treasury holdings to 24,337,957 shares and leaving 1,803,933,364 shares in issue, with 20,230,085 shares repurchased since the start of the year.
The latest transaction underscores RELX’s ongoing capital return programme, which reduces the free float and can enhance earnings per share while signalling management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and cash generation. Shareholders and market participants are likely to view the sustained pace of buybacks as supportive for the stock’s long-term performance, although it also concentrates ownership and slightly increases leverage to future operating results.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:REL) stock is a Buy with a £2790.00 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.
