Experian Continues Share Buyback, Lifts Treasury Holding

Experian is continuing its current share buyback programme, purchasing additional shares in the market and increasing the number of shares it holds in treasury, which in turn reduces its free float.

Latest buyback activity

• Experian recently repurchased around 400,000 of its ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange as part of its ongoing buyback.

• The purchases have been conducted through J.P. Morgan Securities under the company’s announced repurchase arrangements.

Treasury shares and free float

• Following the latest transaction, Experian holds approximately 56.7 million shares in treasury, up from about 56.2 million reported at the end of January.

• After these repurchases, the number of shares in issue excluding treasury stock is roughly 913.5 million, meaning the buyback has modestly reduced the free float.

Programme size and timing

• Experian has a new 1 billion USD share repurchase programme, in addition to an existing authority to buy back up to 7 million shares (up to 200 million USD) running to June 30, 2026.

• Management has stated that strong trading and a favourable leverage position allow it to return excess capital via increased repurchases while keeping its broader capital allocation and dividend policies unchanged.​
