Analysis

Middle-of-the-road

Experian plc is a middle-of-the-road business: neither the economics nor the price stand out from the peer group.

The price is attractive. You pay 12.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 0% yearly growth; analysts expect 13%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is solid and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 20/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

What to watch: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
