It has just gone ex-D, that would make a slight difference. Am still holding.

[wirralowl] 20/9/2018 16:17

Thank you very much, jkc147. I need to look into this when I've more time, but sounds very plausible.

European research funders seeking to introduce open access system, article published early sept, coincides with drop in share price. Threat might be seen to RELX's business model?

Anyone still holding and know of a reason for the fall? Is it down to the high debt level and anticipation of higher interest rates or something more specific?

Looking good, broken up and 1500 now providing support.

[andyj] 21/2/2018 10:07

A break up through 1500 could restart the uptrend.

[electronic303] 20/2/2018 17:07

Andyj, maybe, but am suspicious of companies that continually buy back shares though. Smacks of using Company funds, mostly borrowed money as in this case, to boost Directors' share option prices and to keep the city sweet. I would rather they paid down the high debt. This has put a warning flag on this Company for me. We shall see from the next results if the management's huge faith in the Company is justified.

Looks like a great entry point to me!

Cant see any reason for share weakness except out of favour.
Can hardly be described as an over-valued dividend stock.

topvest - ref. miserly growth (as you were commenting on last year) have had a quick look at the last annual report and seems to me growth of revenue has picked up.

Still is not stellar but going in the right direction. Going ex/div shortly. Have dipped my toe in, that's often the kiss of death but we shall see haha.

[loftus16] 23/2/2017 14:27

Hope you bought them back. Solid results.

BMY better value

I've sold all of mine today at a very good profit. Looks pricy on a P/E of 20 and 2% yield. It is a quality business...that there is no doubt! However, for a business that has -0.3% / annum revenue growth over the last 6-8 years, they are hardly what you might call a growth stock. No revenue growth over the medium term is an automatic fail on my stock selection criteria. If a business can't grow the top-line it is hardly a great stock to be in and is quite obviously in decline/running fast to stand still.

Still couldn't get away early as had to issue correction!

[deans] 24/6/2015 15:33

Early with today's RNS re share buy back staff must be off early!

[jakedog2] 10/5/2015 08:12

looks very cheap here if REL hits the tgt 1.25e EPS.

Trading on PE x12 for dept free company, which is is highly cash generative with some quality metrics

ROC = 64%

ROE = 42%

Op Margin = 24%

Am I missing something ?

Thanks,

[aishahq] 01/5/2015 07:24

Any thoughts please why forecast PBT for 2015 jumps to c£1.7bn compared to them achieving only £650m in 2014? Seems like a massive leap! Any particular reason why? Thanks
