The UK's FTSE 100 index rose 0.59% on Tuesday, driven by a strong rally in Unilever shares after the consumer goods giant reported better-than-expected earnings and raised its full-year guidance. The benchmark was up 63.90 points at 10,845.65 nearly half an hour past noon. Unilever climbed nearly 8% as it upgraded its full-year underlying sales growth guidance to the 4% to 6% range from its previous expectation of growth at the bottom end of the range, supported by around 3% underlying volume growth, and reported its best quarter of sales volume growth in 16 years. Other notable gainers included Admiral Group up over 4%, Relx up 3.6%, and Compass Group, Diageo, Imperial Brands, Croda International, Babcock International, Reckitt Benckiser, The Sage Group, and Experian climbing between 2.5% and 3%. Barclays Group shed more than 5% after reporting increased second-quarter operating costs, while Natwest Group and Lloyds Banking Group both eased about 1.3%.

Experian expands ServiceNow AI Platform deployment for enterprise-wide transformation
Experian is significantly expanding its deployment of the ServiceNow AI Platform to drive enterprise-wide AI-led transformation. The global data and technology company will leverage agentic AI workflows to automate intelligence at scale, improve operational efficiency, and deliver AI-first experiences across the enterprise. The expanded deployment is part of a broader partnership that includes native integration of the Experian Ascend Platform with the ServiceNow AI Platform, enabling businesses to access Experian's trusted intelligence directly within ServiceNow workflows for employee onboarding, third-party risk management, and model lifecycle governance. ServiceNow described the move as redefining how a world-class global business operates at scale, while Experian emphasized that success in scaling AI depends on trust in the infrastructure behind the models.
Experian reported first-quarter revenue growth of 7% organically, in line with expectations, and left its full-year guidance unchanged. Total revenue increased 10% at actual exchange rates and 8% at constant currency for the three months ended 30 June 2026. CEO Brian Cassin said the company continues to execute well, supported by trusted data assets, scaled platforms and growing AI-enabled opportunities. Experian will release half-year results on 18 November 2026.
TransUnion Gains From Big Data Growth Amid High Competition
TransUnion is benefiting from the rapidly expanding big data and analytics market, driven by strong demand for data-backed business insights. The company reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.18 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.3% and rising 12.4% year over year, while revenues of $1.25 billion exceeded estimates by 3.1% and grew 13.7%. TransUnion continues to leverage its OneTru platform to launch new products and enhance analytics, and in March 2026 it acquired approximately 94% of Trans Union de Mexico to expand in the Mexican market. However, the company faces significant competition from firms like Equifax, Experian, and LexisNexis, which may limit pricing power and profitability, and it carries elevated debt from past acquisitions. TransUnion's current ratio of 1.93 at the end of the first quarter indicates strong liquidity, but seasonal patterns in its U.S. and international segments create forecasting challenges.

AI Disruption Fears Hit Accenture Shares, Aoris Fund Underperforms
Aoris Investment Management reported that its Aoris International Fund significantly underperformed its benchmark in the first quarter of 2026, partly due to sharp declines in stocks exposed to AI disruption concerns, including Accenture plc. The fund's Class A (Unhedged) returned negative 13.7% after fees, underperforming its benchmark by 7.8%, while the Class C (Hedged) dropped 10.1%, trailing by 7.3%. Accenture, a professional services company, was among the leading detractors, with its shares losing 58.49% over the past 52 weeks and closing at $124.83 on June 22, 2026. Aoris noted that investor worries about AI displacing white-collar workers and commoditizing software and data contributed to declines in five portfolio holdings, including Microsoft, SAP, Experian, RELX, and Accenture, collectively shaving 9.4% from performance. Despite the sell-off, Aoris highlighted Accenture's evolution into a critical partner for cloud migration, cybersecurity, and AI implementation, suggesting its current oversold status may offer an entry point for dividend investors.
Aoris Investment Management says AI concerns hit RELX and other portfolio stocks in Q1 2026
Aoris Investment Management highlighted RELX PLC as one of five portfolio companies whose shares fell sharply in the first quarter of 2026 due to investor worries about artificial intelligence. The fund noted that RELX, along with Microsoft, SAP, Experian, and Accenture, collectively dragged performance down by 9.4% as markets questioned whether AI would commoditize data and software. Aoris argued that RELX is protected because its proprietary databases—such as the one used by US car insurers for underwriting—are not available to AI models. RELX stock closed at $30.83 on June 22, 2026, with a one-month return of negative 6.29% and a 52-week decline of 42.17%, giving it a market capitalization of $54.14 billion.
