RELX PLC plans an irrevocable, non-discretionary share buyback programme running from 12 February 2026 to 20 March 2026, with a planned spend of £450 million. This means an independent broker will repurchase RELX shares within pre-set parameters, without day-to-day influence from the company.
This new programme follows completion of a separate £250 million non-discretionary buyback on 6 February 2026. Together, these programmes form part of the £2.25 billion total that RELX intends to deploy on share buybacks in 2026. The stated purpose is to reduce the company’s capital, with repurchased shares expected to be held in treasury. The authority from shareholders permits the repurchase of up to 155.2 million ordinary shares.
RELX PLC reported another year of solid growth in 2025. Revenue reached £9,590m versus £9,434m, with underlying growth of 7%. Adjusted operating profit rose to £3,342m from £3,199m, reflecting 9% underlying growth and an improved adjusted operating margin of 34.8%.
Adjusted EPS increased to 128.5p from 120.1p, up 10% at constant currency. The proposed full-year dividend is 67.5p, 7% higher than 2024. Cash generation remained strong, with 99% adjusted cash flow conversion and free cash flow before dividends of £2,313m.
RELX completed five acquisitions for £270m and spent £1,500m on share buybacks in 2025, with plans to deploy £2,250m on buybacks in 2026. Net debt rose to £7,201m, equating to net debt/EBITDA of 2.0x, while all major business areas delivered positive underlying growth.
