Investors fear AI will undercut LexisNexis. The company says it's driving growth.

"Every time we see a new model, every time we see a step forward, we're actually in a better position. What they don't understand is that the most powerful thing that we have is our authoritative content, and that cannot be replicated."

"This content, collected over several decades, includes some 200 billion legal documents, with around 4 million added daily, the company said, along with information from Shepard's Citations, a service owned by LexisNexis that has tracked and validated legal precedent since 1873."

LexisNexis's parent company Relx has experienced significant stock decline amid investor concerns that AI poses an existential threat to software companies. However, LexisNexis leadership argues the company's fundamentals remain strong. The company possesses 200 billion legal documents with approximately 4 million added daily, plus Shepard's Citations data tracking legal precedent since 1873. LexisNexis executives contend that AI model makers lack access to this authoritative, proprietary content and cannot replicate it. Recent growth in law firm and corporate legal business has been attributed to customer adoption of LexisNexis's AI tools, suggesting the company successfully integrates AI capabilities with its unique data assets.
