The latest update is out from RELX plc ( (GB:REL) ).
RELX reported another year of solid growth in 2025, with revenue rising 7% on an underlying basis to £9.59bn and adjusted operating profit up 9% to £3.34bn, lifting the margin to 34.8%. Adjusted EPS grew 10% at constant currency, net profit and cash generation improved, and the board proposed a 7% increase in the full-year dividend to 67.5p per share.
Management highlighted strong momentum across all major divisions, particularly in Risk and a further step up in Legal, supported by ongoing shifts toward higher-growth analytics and decision tools and deeper use of AI to enhance products while keeping cost growth below revenue growth. RELX reinforced its capital allocation stance with £1.5bn of 2025 buybacks, a planned £2.25bn in 2026, five acquisitions totaling £270m, and maintained a disciplined balance sheet at 2.0x net debt/EBITDA, while reiterating expectations for another year of strong underlying growth in 2026.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:REL) stock is a Hold with a £2258.00 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 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.
