Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Capital ReturnsThe completion of cloud migration is expected to lead to stronger free cash flow conversion, with management anticipating more capital to be returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Earnings GrowthEquifax has the potential for multiple years of compounding strong EPS growth given strong structural growth, mortgage recovery, and significant tech transformation benefits.
Stock ValuationValuation seems attractive, and recent stock underperformance lowers near-term expectations, yielding a more attractive stock risk/reward.
Bears Say
Financial GuidanceQ4 revenue guidance midpoint lowered from previously implied guidance despite positively revised mortgage market assumption.
Hiring And Employment TrendsInterest-rate volatility and ongoing weakness in white-collar hiring continue to negatively affect near-term numbers.
Mortgage Revenue OutlookThe previous bullish view on EFX centered around an improving mortgage environment in 2025, which is no longer expected.
