Equifax posts 10% Q3 revenue growth but trims full‑year revenue outlook
Equifax reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.693 billion, up 10% year over year, and adjusted earnings of $2.26 per share. The company lowered its full‑year 2026 revenue midpoint to $6.661 billion because of a weaker U.S. mortgage market, while keeping adjusted EPS guidance at $8.50. It returned $158 million to shareholders in the quarter.
Why it matters
The reduced revenue guidance signals lower top‑line growth for the year, which may affect earnings forecasts and valuation models (the company’s own guidance). The $158 million cash return and maintained EPS outlook provide some upside for income‑focused investors.
