Equifax (EFX) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Equifax is forecasting revenue growth for FY25, projected between $6.03 billion to $6.06 billion, reflecting an increase from previous estimates of $5.97 billion to $6.04 billion. The company's growth is bolstered by a 4.7% year-over-year increase in its Employer Workforce Solutions (EWS) segment, driven by greater adoption of income and employment verification and strong performance in consumer lending and government sectors. Additionally, Equifax reported third-quarter revenue of $1.55 billion, marking a 7.2% year-over-year rise, surpassing both internal estimates and consensus expectations, indicating robust business performance and potential for further upside.
Bears say
Equifax faces a negative outlook primarily due to declining EBITDA expectations, anticipated revenue headwinds from foreign exchange fluctuations, and a significant year-over-year decline in mortgage inquiries. Additionally, the lingering effects of the 2017 cybersecurity breach continue to tarnish the firm's reputation and negatively impact cash flow, compounded by the risks associated with its relatively high debt load in a volatile credit environment. The company's recent performance metrics, particularly in bookings, suggest ongoing challenges in securing future earnings growth, further contributing to concerns about its financial stability.
