Experian plc (EXPN.L), the global data and technology company, has reported solid first-quarter revenue growth that met the group’s own expectations heading into the new fiscal year.
For the three months ended 30 June 2026, Experian recorded revenue growth of 10% at actual exchange rates, reflecting strong underlying business momentum across its key markets.
On a constant currency basis, revenue rose 8%, stripping out the impact of fluctuating foreign exchange rates that can distort reported figures for a globally operating business.
Organic revenue growth, which excludes currency movements and the contribution of acquisitions, came in at 7%, a figure the company said was fully in line with its own internal projections.
CEO Brian Cassin struck a confident tone in his commentary on the results, pointing to the company’s core strengths as key drivers of continued performance.
“Our full-year expectations are unchanged,” Cassin said, adding: “We continue to execute well, supported by our trusted data assets, scaled platforms and growing AI-enabled opportunities.”
The reference to AI-enabled opportunities signals that Experian is actively embedding artificial intelligence capabilities into its product and service offerings as demand for data-driven solutions grows.
Experian’s trusted data assets and scaled platforms remain central to its competitive positioning in credit services, marketing, and consumer and business information markets worldwide.
Maintaining full-year guidance without revision is a notable signal of management confidence, particularly given ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty affecting many sectors of the global economy.
The company has confirmed it will release results for the half year ending 30 September 2026 on 18 November 2026, giving investors a clear timeline for the next financial update.
At the last close, Experian shares were trading at 2,709.00 pence on the London Stock Exchange, representing a gain of 2.07% on the session.
The first-quarter trading update reinforces the view that Experian’s diversified business model continues to generate consistent growth across its data and analytics divisions.
