RELX (REL): news on Thursday 22 October 2026
News from the 24 hours to Thursday morning, 22 October 2026.
Tone of the day
What the score means. Each score rates how good or bad the news was for the company, from −10 (clearly bad) to +10 (clearly good). 0 is neutral, and anything beyond ±6 is strong and rare. It rates the coverage, not the share price.
Why it scored this way
Most coverage dealt with the trading update, which reported underlying revenue growth over nine months and reaffirmed the outlook for the full year, together with commentary on AI products. This was tempered by Citi downgrading the shares to Neutral because of valuation, plus other cautious comment on valuation and the share price.
What drove it
- trading update
- Citi downgrade
- AI and valuation debate
