J.P. Morgan maintained a Buy rating on RELX and kept its GBp 5,070 price target on October 16, 2026, according to Markets Insider. The target stands 73.04 percent above RELX's London price of GBp 2,930. The stock was trading at EUR 34.88 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 4:04 p.m. CEST, up 0.55 percent on the London Stock Exchange.
Target leaves a wide valuation gap
The analyst view provides the strongest dated valuation signal outside the company's scheduled business update. J.P. Morgan's target is denominated in GBp, while the German quotation is in EUR, so the comparison uses the London listing and its home-currency price.
RELX's price-to-earnings ratio was 23.65 on October 19, 2026, while its dividend yield was 2.00 percent. Its market capitalization stood at GBP 50.9 billion on the same date. These figures place the stock's valuation and shareholder return in the foreground without turning the analyst target into a forecast.
Price position and trading range
The London listing traded at GBp 2,930 on October 19, 2026 at 2:11 p.m. London time, compared with GBp 2,914 at the previous close. Trading volume was 1,604,371 shares against an average of 4,439,061 shares. The 52-week range ran from GBp 1,991 to GBp 3,539.

RELX (London Stock Exchange, GBP): plus 0.55 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 23.65, market capitalization GBP 50.9 billion.
Informa (London Stock Exchange, GBP): minus 0.75 percent, price-to-earnings ratio 52.48, market capitalization GBP 11.9 billion.

Company profile and market view
RELX provides information-based analytics and decision tools for professional and business customers. The company serves customers in more than 180 countries and territories and employs more than 37,000 people, according to its RELX investor overview. Its shares trade in London, Amsterdam and New York, with REL as the London ticker.
The next market question is whether the analyst target can withstand changes in demand for professional information and analytics. The October 16 rating supplies a dated benchmark, while the current price and 52-week range show how far the stock remains from its annual high.
What the numbers say
For investors, the key contrast is between a 23.65 price-to-earnings ratio and a GBp 5,070 target that sits 73.04 percent above the London price. The daily move was modest, so the more durable signals are valuation, the dividend yield and the distance from the 52-week high.
RELX was trading at EUR 34.88 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 4:04 p.m. CEST, up 0.55 percent on the London Stock Exchange. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of RELX stock.
