Information and analytics group RELX on Thursday reported a 7% rise in underlying revenue for the first nine months of 2025, citing strong demand for its artificial intelligence-powered tools, and reaffirmed its full-year outlook.
The company said it continues to see positive momentum and expects another year of strong underlying growth in revenue and adjusted operating profit.
The company's Legal division was a key performer, with underlying revenue increasing by 9%, boosted by double-digit growth in its services for law firms and corporate legal departments.
RELX attributed this performance to what it called "the continued success of Lexis+ AI, our integrated generative AI platform."
The Risk division, which includes financial crime and fraud detection tools, grew by 8%, matching the growth seen in its Exhibitions business as it recovers from the pandemic.
The Scientific, Technical & Medical segment posted 5% growth, driven by a shift towards higher-value analytics and tools, according to the company.
RELX said its overall growth trajectory continues to be driven by the ongoing shift in its business mix towards these higher-growth products.
