Analysis
RELX PLC (REL) currently trades at £24.17, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is £23.64, implying the stock looks roughly 2.2% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 67/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, RELX PLC generated revenue of £9.6B at a net margin of 21.5%. Revenue grew 1.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 70.5%. Net debt stands at £7.2B. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026
Our scenario range runs from £15.21 (bear case) to £30.58 (bull case); at £24.17, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -35% fair-value upside, at -2%, REL screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (£22.14) versus Asset-Based (£0.9100). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
