Cracker Barrel Up After Positive Outlook; Danaher and Equifax Slide
Cracker Barrel raises fiscal 2026 outlook after strategic deals; Danaher warns weaker core revenue growth; Equifax cuts top-end EPS guide, leaving midpoints below estimates.

What stands out
Bloomberg's Stock Movers put a spotlight on two clear losers: Danaher and Equifax, which slid after the companies trimmed guidance and disappointed expectations. Danaher flagged third-quarter core revenue growth below the average analyst estimate, while Equifax narrowed its adjusted EPS range and left the midpoints under consensus, moves that sent sentiment into a spin. Those headlines matter because the underlying numbers tell different stories: Danaher has posted 65.4% average revenue growth but a 19.8% average decline in net income, while Equifax shows modest 5.9% revenue growth with net income down about 0.6%.
