RELX announced purchases of 746,868 ordinary shares between September 28 and October 2, 2026, while RELX stock was trading at EUR 30.66 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026. The buyback disclosure gives investors a concrete measure of the company's ongoing capital-return program.
Buyback adds a fresh signal
According to Investegate on October 5, 2026, the shares will be held in treasury. Following settlement, treasury shares totaled 86,076,451, while 1,743,014,323 ordinary shares remained in issue excluding treasury shares.
The latest tranche formed part of purchases made on the London Stock Exchange through J.P. Morgan Securities. Across the five purchase dates, the highest price paid was GBp 2,555 and the lowest was GBp 2,418, showing the range at which the company executed the repurchase.
UBS keeps the AI debate alive
According to FinanzNachrichten on September 29, 2026, UBS maintained a Buy rating and a GBp 3,600 price target for RELX. Analyst Jo Barnet-Lamb identified possible long-term pressure from autonomous driving on US auto-insurance transaction volumes, while viewing artificial intelligence in Legal as more likely to create opportunities than structural disruption.
That assessment matters because RELX combines content, data and software across Risk, Scientific, Technical and Medical, Legal, and Exhibitions. The company describes its customer base as professional and business users in more than 180 countries through its RELX investor overview.
Stock remains above Xetra close
At EUR 30.66, the Lang & Schwarz indication stood EUR 0.24, or 0.79 percent, above the Xetra close of EUR 30.42 on October 6, 2026. The comparison is based on the German reference close because the Lang & Schwarz page showed no prior close for the October 7 quotation.
