SENTIMENT RATING

SENTIMENT SCORE

Bearish

28 / 100

Summary

Coverage emphasizes near-term downside risks: RBC downgraded Equifax from Outperform to Sector Perform (shares fell ~2.7%) and management trimmed full‑year 2026 sales guidance citing weakness in the U.S. mortgage market. Positive data points include higher Q3 revenue and earnings, a raised RBC price target to $189, and a 23.1% stock gain over the past 30 days, but the downgrade and guidance cut dominate the narrative and suggest limited upside despite recent rally.
