LSE:HSBA.L News 19 January 2026

January 22, 2026, 9:20 AM EST. Information Services Corporation's (TSE:ISC) stock has surged 28% over three months, driven partly by a strong return on equity (ROE) of 14%, outperforming the industry average of 9.9%. ROE measures how effectively a company converts shareholder investments into profits. However, the company's net income has declined by 3.1% over five years, trailing the industry's 12% earnings growth. This suggests other factors like high dividend payouts or competitive pressures may be restraining growth. Investors must assess if recent stock gains reflect the company's fundamental outlook or if these challenges are already priced in.
