RELX stock (ISIN GB00B2B0DG97) was trading at EUR 29.16 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 11:14 a.m. CEST, down 1.25 percent versus the prior close of EUR 29.53. UBS kept its Buy rating and 3,600p target on September 29, putting artificial intelligence and autonomous driving at the center of the debate.

UBS sees AI as an opportunity

According to Proactive Investors on September 29, 2026, UBS said investors had overstated structural risks to RELX Legal and Risk divisions. The bank expects adjusted earnings per share estimates to rise 1 percent for 2026 and 1.4 percent for 2027, while maintaining the 3,600p target.

The counterpoint is exposure to the US auto insurance market, where autonomous vehicles could eventually reduce transaction volumes. UBS said the risk is credible but unlikely to cause meaningful disruption before 2035, while proprietary legal content could support AI-enabled products such as Protégé.

H1 growth supports the case

Gekko reported that RELX delivered 7 percent underlying revenue growth in H1 2026, alongside 9 percent growth in underlying adjusted operating profit and 11 percent growth in adjusted earnings per share at constant currency. All four divisions contributed to the result.

That mix matters because the company combines data, analytics and decision tools across Risk, Scientific, Technical and Medical, Legal, and Exhibitions. RELX says its customers span more than 180 countries and territories, with more than 37,000 employees, according to its RELX investor overview.

Buyback adds a second support

RELX also repurchased 751,643 ordinary shares between September 21 and September 25, 2026, at volume-weighted average prices ranging from 2,476.97p to 2,517.31p. The transaction lifted total purchases since January 2, 2026 to 81,221,711 shares, according to Investegate on September 28, 2026.
