RELX, based in the UK, is a global provider of business information, analytics, and decision-making tools for professionals in various industries. It generates revenue mainly by creating and selling access to curated information databases, analytics, and journals. In addition, RELX organizes major events such as trade shows and conferences.
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.
