Latest Corporate Announcement Relx PLC reported that its underlying revenue for the first nine months of 2026 increased, driven by growth in higher‑value analytics and decision‑tool businesses. The company reaffirmed its full‑year outlook for solid revenue, operating profit, and earnings growth. Performance improvements were noted across the risk, scientific, technical and medical, legal, and exhibitions segments, with artificial‑intelligence‑enabled analytics underpinning the results.
Relx also announced a non‑discretionary share‑buyback programme worth £125 million, which is part of a broader £2.25 billion buyback plan. These disclosures were made as the FTSE 100 opened lower on Thursday, influenced by broader market concerns over AI spending and geopolitical pressures, while oil prices rose on Middle East risk.
