Experian - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Experian Stock? EXPGY Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights.

Experian
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Experian plc:

Experian plc has recently seen a significant drop in short interest, decreasing by 7.7% to 20,500 shares. This indicates a potential increase in investor confidence, as fewer investors are betting against the stock.
The stock price is currently at $48.82, which is near its 200-day moving average of $46.90, suggesting stability and potential for growth as it approaches its twelve-month high of $53.10.
Royal Bank of Canada upgraded its rating on Experian from "strong sell" to "hold," reflecting a more positive outlook from analysts, which can attract more investors.
Experian plc operates in diverse markets across multiple regions, including North America and Europe, which can help mitigate risks associated with economic downturns in specific areas.
The company provides a range of data-driven services, including credit risk and fraud prevention, which are increasingly important in today's digital economy, positioning it well for future growth.

Experian
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Experian plc for these reasons:

Despite the recent positive analyst ratings, the stock has experienced a slight decline of 0.2%, which may indicate underlying weaknesses or market volatility.
The current ratio of 0.70 suggests that Experian may have liquidity issues, meaning it might struggle to cover its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets.
With a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.79, the company has a relatively high level of debt compared to its equity, which could pose risks if interest rates rise or if the company faces financial challenges.
Experian's business segments are heavily reliant on data services, which can be subject to regulatory changes and data privacy concerns, potentially impacting its operations and profitability.
The competitive landscape in the technology and data services sector is intense, with many players vying for market share, which could limit Experian's growth potential.
