Share count reaches 938.9 million
The September issuance added 533,545 ordinary shares to the London listing, while the enlarged admitted share count reached 938,871,403. That comparison matters because the share base is a direct reference point for per-share metrics and future capital-allocation announcements.
Experian's corporate structure remains centered on data, analytics and technology services spanning financial services, healthcare, automotive and insurance. The company has 25,200 employees across 33 countries, according to the September 30 regulatory release.
AI products broaden the growth case
Experian launched Activate on September 10, 2026, an AI-enabled decisioning engine combining credit data, analytics, consumer-permissioned cash flow information and lender underwriting criteria. Experian said the platform is designed to match more than 90 million members with credit, loan and insurance offers.
The product launch follows a first-quarter fiscal 2027 trading update in which group organic revenue increased 7 percent year over year for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Business-to-business organic revenue rose 9 percent, while global Consumer Services grew 2 percent, creating a clear split between the company's operating engines. Experian said full-year expectations were unchanged in its investor materials.
