Experian stock (ISIN GB00B19NLV48) closed at GBp 2,457 on October 2, 2026, up 1.24 percent on the London Stock Exchange. The move came as the data and technology group continued to expand its verification and lending products, with a Workday integration announced on September 24, 2026.

Workday expands data reach

According to Business Wire, Experian Verify will integrate with Workday to give organizations broader access to real-time income and employment information. Experian said on September 24 that its expanding network has a path to more than 80 million records, representing over half of U.S. payroll employees.

The commercial angle is important because verification data can shorten manual checks for employers, lenders and other businesses. Workday customers are scheduled to access the Experian service through Workday Total Benefits in late October, according to the same Business Wire announcement.

Revenue rose 12 percent

Experian entered fiscal year 2027 after reporting fiscal year 2026 revenue of USD 8.45 billion, up 12 percent from fiscal year 2025. Net income increased 29 percent to USD 1.50 billion, while diluted earnings per share rose to USD 1.65 from USD 1.28, according to Simply Wall St.

Experian's investor page says the company delivered a strong start to fiscal year 2027 and kept its full-year expectations unchanged. The update points to trusted data assets, scaled platforms and growing AI-enabled opportunities as the operating foundation for the year, according to Experian.

Results date comes next
