UBS Reiterates Buy Rating on Equifax (EFX) on Q3 Beat, Strong Outlook

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 09:23:04 -0400

UBS analyst Kevin McVeigh reiterated a Buy rating and $220.00 price target on Equifax (NYSE: EFX).

The analyst commented, "The EFX stock is up ~11%—well in excess of its implied 7% move— as Q3 EPS beat + outlook was much better than expected as the stock was likely discounting a more demanding mortgage environment [~20% total]. Despite ongoing sector volatility with mortgage rates stubbornly above 7%—vs. 6.6% when Q3 guidance was provided—with EFX still down ~18% YTD, we think the current share price offers an attractive entry as strong execution and operating performance support a manageable outlook for 2027+. As Equifax

Equifax (EFX) PT Lowered to $217 at Stifel on Mortgage Market Trajectory

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:46:47 -0400

Stifel analyst Shlomo Rosenbaum lowered the price target on Equifax (NYSE: EFX) to $217.00 (from $235.00) while maintaining a Buy rating.

The analyst commented, "Our take is that the main difference between 2Q26 and 3Q26 earnings is the trajectory of the mortgage market, which is what drove EFX to lower its 4Q26 implied guidance. Outside this, the business seems to be holistically performing within expectations. We suspect the 11.3% stock increase (versus 0.3% increase for the S&P 500) today was due to short covering - while the mortgage market is indeed a headwind as most expected, Government contract signings portend a

Equifax (EFX) PT Raised to $210 at Needham

(Updated - October 21, 2026 7:18 AM EDT)

Needham analyst Kyle Peterson raised the price target on Equifax (NYSE: EFX) to $210.00 (from $190.00) while maintaining a Buy rating.

The analyst commented: "EFX's 3Q results were in line with Street estimates on revenue, but beat on EPS as margin leverage from AI-driven productivity initiatives and buybacks added a punch to earnings. Unsurprisingly, management reduced the FY26 outlook to reflect a more challenging mortgage environment, though we were pleased to see that most of the bottom line impact has been mitigated by the margin leverage. While we expect higher rates to remain a

Equifax (EFX) PT Raised to $175 at BMO Capital

Tue, 20 Oct 2026 16:32:13 -0400

BMO Capital analyst Jeffrey M. Silber raised the price target on Equifax (NYSE: EFX) to $175.00 while maintaining a Market Perform rating.

The analyst comments "3Q26 results were solid despite continued mortgage pressure, with Government growth (including ACV progression) and better margins the key positives. While weaker mortgage activity drove the lower 2026E revenue outlook, ex-FICO margin guidance moved higher and Government ACV provides better visibility into 2027. VantageScore adoption remains early, but the improving economics as adoption ramps provide another potential tailwind. We were initially overly conservative on 2026E though lower our 2027E and introduce 2028E flowing through the tougher
