Experian is a credit bureau and data analytics company. They collect credit data on consumers and businesses, provide credit scores/reports, offer decisioning tools to lenders, and sell identity protection services to consumers.
Experian is a stable, quality growth stock where RSI extremes are meaningful. The stock tends to mean-revert from oversold/overbought. RSI < 30 signals occur 2-4 times per year and have high reliability.
Standard levels work for stable Experian: Oversold < 30, Overbought > 70. Wait for RSI to turn up before entering at oversold. Exit partial at RSI 50, full at RSI 65-70.
RSI oversold in uptrend (price > 50 EMA) is dip-buying with 65-70% win rate. RSI oversold in downtrend is catching falling knife with 45-50% win rate. Trend context significantly improves results.
Standard 2% risk per trade for stable stock. Stop at 2× ATR or below swing low. Reduce to 1-1.5% if in downtrend or credit cycle weak.
Credit expanding = lending volumes high = good for Experian = full conviction. Credit contracting = business slowing = reduced conviction. Credit cycle is secondary filter after technicals.
Price makes lower low while RSI makes higher low. Shows momentum improving despite price decline. Combined with RSI < 35, this is very strong long signal. Rare but powerful.
Weekly RSI provides major context. Daily gives trading signals. Weekly + daily both oversold = strongest (rare). Weekly neutral + daily oversold = standard signal.
Avoid new positions 5 days before earnings. Can gap 5-10%. Trade post-earnings reaction instead - earnings miss causing RSI < 30 can be opportunity if thesis intact.
US is ~60% of revenue. Monitor US credit conditions: lending surveys, consumer credit growth, mortgage applications. US credit drives Experian's business fundamentals.
Calculate RSI = 100-(100/(1+RS)) where RS = AvgGain/AvgLoss. Signal when RSI < 30 AND RSI > RSI[1] (turn). Add EMA_50 trend filter. Size based on trend + credit context.
Buy calls at RSI < 30 for defined risk. Sell covered calls at RSI > 65 for income. Limited liquidity on UK options - shares with stops may be more practical. Consider CFDs.
Calculate RS vs peers/market. RSI oversold + RS rising = company strength, high conviction. RSI oversold + RS falling = investigate - may be company-specific issue.
GDPR, CCPA create compliance costs but barriers to competitors. Open banking has mixed impact. Major regulatory change = research before acting on RSI signal.
Per-trade 2% risk. Max 5% Experian. Max 12% business services. Max 40% defensives. Provides quality defensive growth and diversification from cyclicals.
