RELX reports 7% underlying revenue growth as AI demand backs full-year outlook

RELX reported 7% underlying revenue growth for the first nine months of 2026, with its Legal, Risk, and STM divisions all contributing. Management reiterated its expectation of strong full year growth in revenue, adjusted operating profit, and constant currency adjusted earnings per share (EPS). AI-powered analytics tools, such as Lexis+ Protégé and LeapSpace, are becoming central to RELX's subscription model. The main risk is that competing or open source AI options could pressure its ability to charge a premium while it keeps investing heavily in new products. Analysts forecast revenue of £12.0bn and earnings of £2.9bn by 2029, implying 7.3% yearly revenue growth. Earnings are currently £2.3bn.

LexisNexis CEO dismisses AI threat as company reports 7% revenue growth

LexisNexis CEO Sean Fitzpatrick has dismissed investor concerns that AI threatens the legal software giant, saying proprietary data gives it a competitive advantage. Shares of parent company Relx fell 14% on 3 February following Anthropic's launch of an AI agent that drafts legal briefs, and are down 17% year-to-date. Fitzpatrick said LexisNexis's database of 200 billion legal documents, including content from Shepard's Citations dating to 1873, cannot be replicated by AI model makers. The company doesn't license its proprietary data to general-purpose AI providers. Relx reported 7% revenue growth for 2025 and 9% increase in adjusted operating profit, driven by customers adopting AI tools. LexisNexis is hiring and hasn't conducted AI-related redundancies.
