The Swiss bank repeated a Buy rating, and lifted its price target to 3,870p from 3,700p, implying around 47% upside from current levels.
Annual results from Experian PLC (LSE:EXPN) strengthened confidence among analysts that the credit data group can keep delivering strong growth even as concerns linger over consumer lending and the wider economy.

Experian PLC's (LSE:EXPN) annual results may not have been enough to stop the shares falling on Wednesday, but analysts said the update should help reassure investors worried that artificial intelligence could threaten the group's long-term growth prospects.
