RELX/Onward and upward/BUY
RELX delivered a solid 1H25 performance in our view. The business mix continues to shift towards higher growth data analytics and decision tools across all divisions, resulting in good organic revenue growth and operating leverage, broadly in line with our expectations. As a result, we make only slight adjustments to our growth and margin estimates. We reiterate our BUY rating and lower our target price to €56 per share (from €57), mainly due to FX headwinds.

RELX grows faster than telcos/Company exhibits strong credit metrics
RELX continued its strong performance over 1H25. We appreciate its strong growth profile and healthy balance sheet. We expect the company to maintain A- ratings and therefore prefer the RELX notes over the notes of telecom operators with a BBB+ rating, such as Orange or Verizon.

Benelux Tech update/Our favourites: ASM, Barco, BESI, RELX
We refresh our Benelux Tech coverage following the 1Q25 reporting season. In this note we downgrade Just Eat Takeaway from Buy to HOLD as we believe the takeover offer is fair. Most companies reported largely in line results and, across the board we make relatively modest changes to our estimates. Our highest conviction longs in the Benelux Tech universe are ASM International, Barco, BE Semiconductor Industries and RELX. Our biggest increase in target price is for Prosus which saw strong perfor...
