The FTSE 100 information and analytics firm is hovering close to its 52-week low, following a series of drops that have pushed the stock far below last year’s high. Investors are now searching for clues on whether this downtrend will pause, with the company’s annual results due next month.

RELX announced Tuesday it repurchased 334,093 ordinary shares via UBS AG London Branch, paying between 2,748 and 2,878 pence per share. The company plans to keep these shares in treasury. Treasury stock remains under company control and can be cancelled or reissued later.

The recent selloff could deepen into a prolonged de-rating if guidance falls short or if investors judge the buyback too modest to counter slower growth forecasts. Broader market volatility may also drown out company-specific updates.
RELX is gearing up for its next big event: the full-year results for the period ending Dec. 31, set to be released on Feb. 12.
