LSE:REL 13 June 2026 - 4 July 2026

RELX PLC closed Friday at 2,363p, slipping 0.25% on the day as London markets wrapped up for the weekend. Shares finished the week down 0.6%, lagging the FTSE 350 by 1.8 percentage points, according to LSE data. The stock showed how investors are weighing cash returns against AI risk. RELX has lost 21.8% so far this year and is off 40.0% over the past 52 weeks, trailing the FTSE 350 by 27.2 and 57.9 points. The stock trades 41.1% below its 52-week high but remains 17.4% above the low. The bigger story isn’t this week’s move, but that de-rating.

RELX PLC underperformed the broader London market Friday, trading at 2,296p to sell and 2,298p to buy late morning. The FTSE 100 slipped 0.74% to 10,451.50. The standout number is the buyback. RELX picked up 2.94 million shares last week through ABN AMRO Bank N.V.. Based on published daily volumes and VWAPs, the week’s average price works out to around 2,422p. By Friday, the price had dropped roughly 5.1% from that mark.

RELX PLC shares slipped 0.8% to 2,359 pence as of 1401 BST Thursday. The move came as the FTSE 100 added 0.87%. RELX was still down 41.5% from its 52-week high at 4,030 pence. RELX started the week with around £71.9 million left to spend under its June 9-26 buyback, according to purchases disclosed through June 19. That means £14.4 million per day if spread equally across the week’s five sessions. At Thursday’s price, that’s about 610,000 shares daily, or 11% of its reported average daily volume. The £200 million mandate is part of RELX’s £2.25 billion plan running to 2026.

RELX traded 0.6% lower at around 2,334 pence just before 12:50 BST on Wednesday. The FTSE 100 was unchanged. The information and analytics group is down about 40% over the last year. RELX picked up 2,936,304 shares in the five sessions ending June 19, according to a June 22 filing. That was about 9.1% of the 32.41 million shares traded over that period based on the filing and daily data. The company paid around £71.1 million for the shares, at an average price of 2,422.4p per share on a weighted basis. Wednesday’s close came in 3.6% under that average. RELX shares dropped 4.6% between June 12 and June 19.

RELX moved up 1.9% to around 2,373 pence on Tuesday. The stock climbed while the FTSE 100 slipped about 0.4%. Price data was at least 15 minutes late. RELX’s latest filing shows it picked up 2,936,304 shares from June 15 to June 19. It paid daily average prices between 2,372 pence and 2,485 pence. Since January 2, the company has now acquired 66.18 million shares.

RELX PLC dropped 0.8% to 2,359 pence by 14:01 BST on Monday, coming in behind the broader London market. Shares started the session at 2,383p, then traded as high as 2,396p before slipping to 2,350p. The FTSE 100 was up about 0.5% in afternoon action. Banks, miners and energy names pulled the index up after a drop tied to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s resignation, but RELX lagged and ended lower. The stock didn’t get any help from company news. The slip shows investors still wary about AI competition hitting RELX, even as the wider London market found buyers. That split stands out.

RELX finished Friday at 2,377 pence, up from Thursday but down sharply from last week’s 2,492 pence close. The bulk of the drop came after Thursday’s 3.97% slide. Shares posted a heavy weekly loss, underperforming the London market. RELX’s slide is stretching out, not just a single session move. Shares closed the week about 41% off their 52-week high of 4,030 pence hit last July, showing investors continue to cut what they’re willing to pay for recurring revenue and steady profit growth as artificial intelligence shifts the professional data market.

RELX shares fell 3.1% Thursday, hovering around 2,369 pence by midday after starting at 2,401 pence. That drop wiped out the 1% gain from Wednesday and pushed the stock toward the low end of its session range of 2,366.58 to 2,417 pence. RELX’s latest move put the AI debate back in focus for the information and analytics group. Some ask if artificial intelligence will push up demand for its specialist data or if cheaper products could put pressure on prices. Back in February, Reuters said RELX shares sank as AI worries hit information-service stocks.

RELX PLC shares moved up in busy London trade Wednesday, outpacing the broader UK market. Investors kept buying for RELX’s steady cash payouts, even with some concerns about competition from artificial intelligence still in play. London Stock Exchange traded as usual during the regular weekday hours. As of 12:05 BST, RELX was quoted at 2,424p on Google Finance, up 4p from the previous close. On the session, shares moved between 2,414p and 2,452p.

RELX PLC gained in London trade on Tuesday, up 15p to 2,465p to sell and 2,466p to buy on Hargreaves Lansdown, a move of 0.61%. AJ Bell had RELX trading 17p higher at 2,467p to 2,469p, a rise of 0.69%. The shares recovered after easing at the start of the week, even though there wasn’t any fresh earnings news out. The FTSE 100 was also up, adding 0.55% on Hargreaves Lansdown, similar to RELX’s climb. RELX relies on buybacks to support the stock at this point. The company said it will repurchase £200 million in ordinary shares between June 9 and June 26, after wrapping up a £150 million buyback that ended June 8. Both buybacks fall under RELX’s £2.25

London, June 15, 2026, 14:06 BST. RELX PLC shares slipped Monday, down 20p, or 0.8%, at 2,471p to sell and 2,473p to buy, AJ Bell figures showed. The information-and-analytics company’s market cap was about £43.54 billion. The FTSE 100 edged up, last up 0.08% at 10,479.70 on delayed Hargreaves Lansdown data, while RELX underperformed. Some traders questioned whether the stock now looks appealing after its drop or if worries about AI disruption keep it a hold. Investors often exit names on sector rotation, profit taking, or company uncertainty, even when the market is up.

RELX PLC shares finished the week with a small bounce, up 30p, or 1.22%, to 2,492p on Friday. The FTSE 100 closed higher by 1.63% at 10,471.72. That rise for RELX came after two sessions of lagging the market, including a 3.38% drop on Thursday to £24.62, according to recent market data. Some buyers stepped back in after the stock was hit by a sharp de-rating, but RELX did not keep pace with the FTSE 100 on this risk-on day for London stocks. The stock remains well under its 4,030p year high. AJ Bell shows RELX with a market cap of about £43.84 billion, a dividend yield at 2.71%, and a P/E ratio of 22.25. The P/E ratio measures share
