RELX's third-quarter year-to-date growth rates were unchanged versus the first half for risk (8%), scientific, technical and medical (6%), and legal (10%) while exhibitions was down 2 percentage points to 4% due to disruption in the Middle East. Shares were trading flat intraday Oct. 22.
The shift to focusing on analytics and decision tools has boosted RELX’s organic growth profile.
While RELX is the number-two player in the concentrated US legal information market, the legal segment still has materially lower margins than its other segments.
