Since our last posting on February 8^th a number of major industry players announced their Q4 and annual results for 2012.

Rating Agencies have taken also the lead in showing an incredible revenue and income growth in ratings and analytics. Thomson Reuters Governance, Risk & Compliance Unit raked up an impressive growth of 22% for the quarter (and 42% for the full year). FICO return to growth through acquisitions.

Consumer credit information performed well, while D&B’s commercial credit information services remained disappointingly stagnant. Acxiom and Harte Hanks revenues also declined.
