Bulls Say

  • Experian has data on approximately 1.5 billion consumers and about 200 million businesses globally; this depth would be incredibly hard to replicate.

  • Credit scoring is in its infancy in emerging markets. Although the ramp-up could take many years, Experian can use its reputation and experience to generate international revenue growth.

  • Experian's consumer business is performing well relative to peers and the firm has made some progress in its income and employment verification service to compete with Equifax.

Bears Say

  • Experian's business has some exposure to credit conditions, and a slowdown in marketing activity and originations could weigh on the firm's growth.

  • Experian faces a variety of competitors outside its core data business such as in decision solutions.

  • The breach at Equifax highlights potential event risk for the industry, and Experian has not been mistake-free on this front.
