RELX PLC stock is back on investors’ radar heading into year-end, not because of a splashy acquisition or an earnings surprise, but because the company is doing what high-cash-generation businesses love to do: shrinking the share count, tightening capital structure, and leaning hard into AI-enabled subscription products that keep customers paying through good cycles and bad. As of the latest close (22 December 2025), RELX shares traded around 3,046p in London, with a 52-week range of 2,970p to 4,205p—a reminder that 2025 has been a “great business, moody market” kind of year for the stock.

London — 22 December 2025.
