1017 GMT - RELX delivered a robust first-half year performance, ING's Thymen Rundberg writes in a note. The information-and-analytics group reported higher revenue, while its operating margins continue to expand. "The key takeaway was the acceleration in both Legal and Scientific, Technical & Medical, the two divisions most often discussed in the context of AI disruption," he says. The acceleration in these units highlights that AI-enabled products are key growth drivers across both segments, he adds. While the Dutch bank doesn't anticipate significant changes to full-year revenue estimates, the results could lead to low-single-digit upgrades to 2026/2027 operating profit expectations. Shares in RELX are up 0.7% at 24.71 pounds. (najat.kantouar@wsj.com)
