-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
RELX reported a positive start in its Q1 trading update, seeing strong underlying revenue growth across all segments amid higher demand for AI-integrated analytical offerings. We continue to see accelerating momentum in Legal, with Q1 logging double-digit growth for Law Firms & Corporate Legal clients amid rising adoption in Lexis+ AI. Meanwhile, Risk also saw continued strong development in Financial Crime Compliance and Fraud & Identity solutions, while STM also saw improved growth geared towards higher-value electronic databases and decision tools. Management reaffirmed its long-term growth trajectory, supported by strong new sales in newer offerings and improving business mix. Based on the current trajectory, we believe these should comfortably translate to adjusted operating profit and EPS growth in the high-single-digits, further accelerated by ongoing share repurchases particularly with the sharp correction since mid-2025 due to AI-disruption fears, which we believe remains overblown at current levels.
