RELX stock (ISIN GB00B2B0DG97) stood at GBp 2,527.00 on September 25, 2026, up 0.08 percent for the session on the London Stock Exchange. The company combines that market snapshot with 7 percent underlying revenue growth and 9 percent adjusted operating profit growth in H1 2026, according to RELX.
Buyback adds a capital return angle
RELX began a new GBP 125 million non-discretionary share buyback on September 7, 2026, with purchases scheduled to run through October 21, 2026. MarketScreener reported that the tranche forms part of a 2026 plan targeting GBP 2.25 billion in total buybacks.
The buyback gives investors a second quantified theme beyond operating growth. RELX also reported adjusted earnings per share growth of 11 percent at constant currency for H1 2026, while management maintained its full-year outlook for underlying revenue and adjusted operating profit growth, according to RELX.
Analysts set targets above the quote
TD Cowen started coverage with a Buy rating and a GBp 3,500.00 price target on September 10, 2026, as reported by TradingView. That target is 38.50 percent above the September 25 reference price.
Bernstein also kept a Buy rating and a GBp 3,450.00 target on September 14, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The two targets place the market debate on whether RELX can sustain its H1 growth profile while funding shareholder returns.
Stock remains below its yearly high
RELX traded within a GBp 1,991.00 to GBp 3,569.00 52-week range, leaving the reference price 29.19 percent below the high. Market capitalization stood at GBP 44.0 billion, and the next earnings date listed for the company is February 18, 2027.
