Relx upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at Barclays

Barclays upgraded Relx (RELX) to Overweight from Equal Weight with a price target of 4,275 GBp, up from 4,220 GBp. The company “offers reliable growth in an environment where relative safe havens may be needed,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm sees “only” a 7% earnings hit to Relx’s earnings in a 2008-2009-style recession, potential upside to its 6.5%-7.0% organic growth estimate over time. The shares are not cheap versus history but not out of line with info services peers, contends Barclays.
