RELX plc ( (GB:REL) ) has issued an update.
RELX plc has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 641,854 ordinary shares on 13 February 2026 via UBS AG London Branch on the London Stock Exchange, at prices ranging between 2,102 pence and 2,202 pence and a volume-weighted average of 2,161.5535 pence. The shares, which will be held in treasury, bring the company’s total treasury holding to 14,987,957 shares and mean RELX has repurchased 10,880,085 shares since 2 January 2026, underscoring ongoing capital management efforts that can enhance earnings per share and signal confidence in the group’s long-term prospects.
The latest buyback lifts RELX’s treasury stock to just under 15 million shares against 1.81 billion shares in issue, a scale that remains modest relative to its overall capital base but meaningful for shareholder returns. For investors, the sustained pace of repurchases since the start of the year reinforces RELX’s commitment to returning surplus capital, while also providing incremental support to the share price and flexibility over future employee share schemes or corporate purposes.
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.
