Investing.com -- British information and analytics provider Relx reported a 7% rise in underlying revenue for the first nine months of 2026, driven by demand for artificial intelligence-powered analytics tools, and reaffirmed its full-year growth outlook.
The company expects strong underlying growth in revenue and adjusted operating profit for the full year, alongside strong growth in adjusted earnings per share on a constant-currency basis.
The Legal division led growth, with underlying revenue rising 10%, supported by demand for legal analytics tools and the adoption of its AI-enabled research platform.
Revenue in the Risk division grew 8%, driven by AI-powered analytics, financial crime compliance and digital fraud and identity solutions.
The Scientific, Technical & Medical division recorded 6% underlying revenue growth, supported by new products, stronger sales and the rollout of its LeapSpace AI research workspace.
The Exhibitions division posted 4% underlying revenue growth, as strong performance across its events portfolio was partly offset by disruption in the Middle East.
For the full year, Relx expects adjusted operating profit to grow faster than revenue in its Risk, Scientific, Technical & Medical, and Legal divisions.
In Exhibitions, the company expects strong underlying revenue growth excluding the impact of the Middle East disruption, alongside an improvement in its adjusted operating margin compared with the previous year.
