RELX plc ( (GB:REL) ) has shared an update.
RELX PLC has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 480,024 ordinary shares on 18 March 2026 via UBS AG London Branch, at a volume-weighted average price of 2,585.6266 pence. The shares will be held in treasury, taking its treasury stock to 30.7 million shares and leaving 1.80 billion shares in issue, with a total of 26.6 million shares repurchased since the start of the year.
The latest transaction underscores RELX’s ongoing capital return strategy, gradually reducing the free float and potentially enhancing earnings per share over time. For investors, the sustained pace of repurchases signals management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and cash-generation capacity, while modestly increasing existing shareholders’ proportional ownership.
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 REL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, REL is a Outperform.
The score is primarily driven by strong financial quality—high margins and standout free-cash-flow generation—tempered by leverage and weaker balance-sheet flexibility. Technicals are mixed with the stock still below key longer-term moving averages, and valuation looks somewhat full despite a reasonable dividend yield.
