The credit scores specialist said it now expected organic revenue growth of 8% in the 2026 fiscal year, at the top of its previously guided range for between 6% and 8%.

The updated forecast was prompted by a jump in first-half earnings. Revenues in the six months to 30 September rose 12% to $4.1bn - or by 8% on an organic basis - while operating profits were 11% stronger at $973m.

Revenues in Experian’s consumer services unit were 9% higher, after the number of members rose to more than 208m and engagement strengthened.

Business-to-business revenues were up 8%, fuelled by ongoing demand for Experian’s data, analytics and mortgage services.

All regions saw an uplift in organic revenue growth, including a 10% hike in North America, the blue chip’s biggest market.

Brian Cassin, chief executive, said: "We delivered strong growth in revenue, earnings and cash flow in the first half, as we continued to build momentum in our business.

"We have enhanced our product platforms, deepened consumer relationships and transformed customer experiences and internal processes through AI-driven automation and personalisation."
