..AI force is too strong.. very good..!
It's the force of AI (will disrupt the business) sentiment
to be more specific.
As the only definite claim any of us can make is we
will one day die, calling the future is guess work at best
What we can say as of today s ..AI is not negatively impacting
the business (currently) and is embedded within their own service offerings, they also make the case that if one of these new gen AI entrants develops a particularly useful product, they can licence this and incorporate within their existing functionality.
Clearly the market has doubts and is in liquidation mode...
sell now, ask questions later.
The premium rating has gone, which arguably leaves REL more
exposed to a potential bid than for sometime (speculation on my part Only).
The valuations commended by the large gen AI businesses are
extraordinary, Anthropic around 250 billion USD based on
it's last funding round, likely more now.
Relx would arguably be a nice acquisition - this alone, is not
reason to buy Relx shares.
I have to be honest and say I can't even take a guess at the near term SP direction atm.
