George Webb has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that, in his view, validate and strengthen the investment case for RELX. The company delivered full-year 2025 results that aligned with expectations on revenue, adjusted EBIT, and earnings per share, while generating free cash flow slightly ahead of forecasts, demonstrating solid execution in a choppy sector backdrop.
Looking ahead, management’s guidance for 2026 points to a modestly better margin trajectory in the Risk segment, an improved growth outlook for STM, and continued strong performance in Legal across both sales and profitability. Webb also highlights the larger-than-expected £2.25 billion share repurchase program as a meaningful capital return upgrade, supported by confident management commentary on leveraging AI to enhance products and accelerate innovation, all of which he sees as supportive of further share price upside.
In another report released today, UBS also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a £45.70 price target.
