RELX strengthens capital return with further £13m share buyback

RELX plc ( (GB:REL) ) has provided an update.

RELX plc has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 500,000 ordinary shares on 10 March 2026 through UBS AG’s London branch, at a volume‑weighted average price of about 2,635 pence per share. The shares will be held in treasury, bringing its treasury holding to 27.8 million shares and leaving 1.8 billion shares in issue, with 23.7 million shares repurchased since the start of the year.

The latest transaction underscores RELX’s ongoing capital management strategy, which can enhance earnings per share and signal management’s confidence in the company’s longer‑term prospects. By reducing the free float over time, the buyback program may support the stock’s valuation and is likely to be viewed positively by shareholders seeking capital returns alongside dividends.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:REL) stock is a Buy with a £2924.00 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.
