The Share Centre’s Share of the Week 19/10/09

Company: Experian    Share price: 570.00p    Sector: Support Services
Recommendation:    Buy
Risk category:    Medium
Investment class:    Growth
Opinion:
The company has so far largely shrugged off the recession as a result of an expansion of the range of industries that the group services, Experian has already moved from its original focus on financial services to a wider expertise in automotive, telecoms, debt collection advice and the public sector. The company is also looking for opportunities to extend its geographic reach and to make bolt on acquisitions where appropriate.


Longer term potential remains as indicated by the shares resilience, any sign of a return to normality in the credit markets and Experian will be well positioned to take advantage. One to steadily tuck away for the future.
