▲(10.11% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:03/26/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance (high margins and robust free cash flow) and constructive earnings-call guidance with significant capital returns. These positives are tempered by weak technicals (broad downtrend and negative momentum) and the balance-sheet leverage risk, while valuation remains supportive.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow generation
Consistent high free cash flow and near-100% cash conversion provide durable funding for R&D, AI product investment, dividends and buybacks without relying on external financing. This strengthens financial flexibility and supports capital returns and selective M&A over a multi-quarter horizon.
Negative Factors
Elevated leverage and weakened equity
Relative high leverage and a notable decline in equity reduce financial flexibility and raise refinancing and covenant risk in adverse scenarios. Even with strong cash flow, the capital structure constrains optionality for large strategic M&A or increased capital intensity over the medium term.

RELX plc Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 12, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 23, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call communicated broad, multi-divisional operational momentum with double-digit EPS growth at constant currency, margin expansion, strong cash generation, and targeted AI-enabled product adoption—notably in Legal and Risk. Headwinds include portfolio and print-related reporting impacts, currency effects reducing sterling-reported growth, and investor concerns about competition in AI workflow tools. Overall, the positives (strong growth, margins, cash returns, and product traction) materially outweigh the challenges.Positive Updates

Underlying revenue growth 7%; underlying adjusted operating profit growth 9%; adjusted operating margin improved by ~90 basis points to 34.8%; adjusted EPS up 10% at constant currency (128.5p) and up 7% in sterling.
Negative Updates

Company Guidance
Management guidance is for another year of "strong" underlying revenue growth with underlying adjusted operating profit growth exceeding revenue growth across the group and in each division (Risk, STM, Legal, Exhibitions) — STM described as "good to strong" and Exhibitions also expecting an improvement in adjusted operating margin versus the prior year — and for continued strong constant‑currency adjusted EPS growth. Capital allocation guidance: organic development remains the priority with CapEx ~5% of revenue, selective M&A only where strategic (10‑year average ~£400m pa; 2025 acquisition spend £270m), dividend policy ~half of adjusted earnings with the FY25 dividend increased 7% to 67.5p, and continued surplus returns via buybacks (£2.25bn announced for 2026, £250m deployed to date, after completion of a £1.5bn buyback in 2025). Context and targets cited include FY25 underlying revenue +7%, underlying adjusted operating profit +9% (group adjusted operating margin up ~90 basis points to 34.8%), adjusted EPS +10% at constant currency (128.5p), cash conversion 99%, EBITDA >£3.8bn, CapEx £525m (~5% of revenue), free cash flow >£2.3bn, year‑end net debt £7.2bn and net debt/EBITDA (incl. pensions, $) 2.0x (bottom of 2–2.5x range); they also expect print‑related profit to continue declining in the high single digits annually and will keep cost growth below revenue growth.RELX plc Financial Statement Overview
