Year-to-date, Experian is down 20.84%, while the FTSE 100 has risen by 7.61%. The company, classified within the miscellaneous industry and holding a market capitalization of GBP 22,929 million, has a high return on equity of 26.48%. However, it also carries a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.96, indicating a substantial level of debt relative to its equity. As Experian navigates these dynamics, its recent performance highlights the ongoing volatility in its stock activity.
