+5 new sources since this summary was written
Equifax reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.693 billion, up 10% on a reported basis and 9% in local currency. Diversified Markets revenue rose 8% reported (7.5% local currency) while U.S. Mortgage revenue increased 15% reported despite a weak market. The company returned $158 million to shareholders and lowered its full‑year 2026 revenue midpoint guidance to $6.661 billion, but kept adjusted EPS guidance at $8.50 per share.
Why it matters
The revenue guidance cut signals lower top‑line growth expectations for 2026, which may affect valuation models (the company, 8‑K filing). However, maintaining EPS guidance and returning cash could support the recent share price rally (Investing.com earnings call transcript).
