RELX plc has continued its share buyback activity, repurchasing 1,400,000 ordinary shares on 12 February 2026 via UBS AG London Branch on the London Stock Exchange.

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.
