RELX stock (GB00B2B0DG97) closed at USD 33.36 on September 18, 2026, down 2.97 percent from the prior session. MarketBeat also puts the market capitalization at USD 58.28 billion and volume at 2.20 million shares on that same date.

Buyback plan adds a hook

As TipRanks reported on September 21, 2026, RELX launched a new GBP 125 million non-discretionary share buyback in its 2026 capital return plan. The same report says the stock carries a Buy rating and a USD 3,850 price target.

The market backdrop is still anchored by the latest quoted data: the shares traded in a 52-week range of USD 27.57 to USD 47.97, which leaves the September 18 close closer to the lower half of that band. For investors, that gap matters more than a headline move.

Latest reported figures

TipRanks' company-announcement page ties the buyback to RELX's 2026 capital return plan, and the wording gives the stock a clear capital-allocation theme. The same page also lists average trading volume of 2,539,885 shares and a technical sentiment signal of Hold.

For fundamentals, the most recent figures that are clearly periodized in the available results are not surfaced in the same source set as the price snapshot, so the market reaction remains the cleaner read: the shares were down USD 1.02 on September 18, 2026, with the close at USD 33.36 and market value at USD 58.28 billion. That makes the buyback announcement and the stock's position inside its 52-week range the two numbers to watch.

RELX stock was last quoted at USD 33.36 on September 18, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 27.57 to USD 47.97 and trading volume of 2.20 million shares. The move leaves the stock well below the top of that band.
