Relx Share Price (REL)

Seems to be taking a breather for the last few weeks....? Looking back at the last 2 or 3 years it seems to do this at this time of year before going on a run again about July/August...? Maybe, I'm just clutching at reasons to be cheerful 🤔🤔.Hang on, I feel a song coming on 😄

Best to everyone

Just wondering if anyone had an opinion on RELX as a future takeover target for any of the really big tech companies. Someone like Amazon or Google, wanting to get in to the Scientific or Healthcare research market in a big way. Massive step up being able to get your advanced AI engines to leverage all of the content that Elsevier owns. Could see the group being broken up as well with Exhibitions being sold of to a competitor, and pretty sure some of the big consultancies , legal and risk organizations would love to get hold of Lexis Nexis Legal and Risk know how. Not starting a rumor, but you could see how a big player could make massive money from that sort of takeover.

Good to hear of hedge funds adding to stakes...usually shorting grabs the headlines. Invested as neutral politically and AI beneficiary.

Downgrade but increases price target to £35 from £33....covering all bases...oh the life of an analyst.

To be fair says sp performance has come quicker than expected and doesn't see any catalysts in near future.
