Annelies Vermeulen’s rating is based on Experian’s robust financial performance and growth prospects. The company reported an 8% organic growth in the first half of FY26, which slightly exceeded the consensus expectations. This growth was driven by strong performance in North America, particularly in the Financial Services sector, and a notable rebound is expected in Latin America’s Consumer Services in the second half.
Additionally, Experian’s operating profit increased by 14% year-over-year, with an EBIT margin improvement supported by automation and AI initiatives. The company’s earnings per share also grew by 12%, and cash flow was notably strong, increasing by 25% year-over-year. These factors, combined with a positive outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year, underpin Vermeulen’s Buy rating for Experian’s stock.
According to TipRanks, Vermeulen is a 3-star analyst with an average return of 1.9% and a 50.45% success rate. Vermeulen covers the Industrials sector, focusing on stocks such as Experian, Travis Perkins, and Ferguson PLC.
In another report released on November 7, UBS also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a p4,300.00 price target.
