Relx Plc (RELX)

The company now

RELX said on 22 October 2026 that its underlying revenue grew 7 percent in the first nine months of the year 2.

Underlying growth leaves out currency moves, acquisitions, disposals, print and event timing, so it shows how the existing businesses did 2.

By business, Legal grew 10 percent, Risk 8 percent, Scientific, Technical & Medical 6 percent and Exhibitions 4 percent 2.

The company said Middle East disruption held Exhibitions back, and it expects another year of strong underlying growth in revenue and adjusted operating profit 2.

In the first half, revenue was £4,871 million and adjusted operating profit, which leaves out some deal-related costs, was £1,727 million 4.

The company also began a £125 million programme to repurchase its own shares, running from 22 October to 2 December 2026, part of £2.25 billion planned for 2026 3.

The open question is how far its AI-based products, such as the LeapSpace research workspace, lift growth further 2.

Chief executive Erik Engstrom called AI a key driver of customer value and growth in the half-year release 4.
