If you believe WLY can sustain its high margins while reaccelerating growth and maintaining strong quality metrics, then WLY looks attractive versus RELX because the current multiple is far below RELX-implied valuation and supported by solid capital efficiency.
WLY trades at a steep discount to the RELX-based implied valuation, with current price $52.20 versus implied price $143.89, or 175.7% upside on RELX multiple framework. However, WLY is already above the top of its DCF range and near the upper end of its historical band, which suggests the market is not pricing it as deeply misvalued as RELX comparison alone implies.
