Morgan Stanley lowered the firm’s price target on Equifax (EFX) to $316 from $320 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. While the firm expects quarterly results to be “fine” for both credit bureaus as consumer activity was “solid” in Q4, it thinks 2025 guidance will be below consensus on margins and adjusted EPS, driven by more muted mortgage expectations built into guidance as well as a more conservative stance on macro and rate improvement, the analyst tells investors in a preview.
