RELX shares fall as upbeat trading update fails to lift sentiment

Shares in FTSE 100 giant RELX PLC (LSE:REL) fell 2.7% to 2,664p despite the information and analytics group reporting a strong start to 2026 and reaffirming its full-year outlook. In a statement ahead of its annual meeting, the group pointed to positive momentum across all four divisions and said it continues to invest in artificial intelligence, combining large proprietary data sets with new technologies to launch products and drive usage.
