Equifax Q3 revenue rises 10% to $1.693B, but mortgage slump cuts 2026 outlook; $750M Circulo deal

Equifax reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.693 billion, up 10%, slightly below its July guidance midpoint. A $20 million hit from the US mortgage market, where higher rates cut activity in September, explained the shortfall. Adjusted earnings per share rose 11% to $2.26, above the high end of guidance. EBITDA margins excluding FICO grew 130 basis points, helped by AI productivity and cost control. Equifax also agreed to buy Circulo for $750 million in enterprise value. The target's revenue rose 24% over the last 12 months, with 47% EBITDA margins, and the deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter. For 2026, the company expects revenue of $6.661 billion at the midpoint and adjusted EPS of $8.50. It cut its US mortgage revenue outlook by about $80 million.

Equifax Q3 revenue rises 10% to $1.69B, but mortgage slump cuts outlook; $750M Mexico deal planned

Equifax beat its third-quarter adjusted earnings per share guidance, reporting revenue of $1.693 billion, up 10%, and adjusted EPS of $2.26, up 11%. Growth in diversified markets and cost controls offset a sharp late-quarter drop in US mortgage activity. Higher mortgage rates hurt the outlook. Equifax expects full-year US mortgage revenue to be about $80 million below its July forecast, and 2027 mortgage transactions to fall by a high-single-digit percentage. The company plans to close its $750 million acquisition of Mexico's Círculo de Crédito in the fourth quarter. It raised its 2026 EBITDA margin expansion outlook to 100 basis points from 75, and has returned about $850 million to shareholders this year.

Equifax lands $550M in government contracts as AI lifts profit outlook

Equifax raised its full-year profit guidance on its third-quarter earnings call on October 20, 2026, citing efficiency gains from artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Revenue from its diversified markets grew 8% year over year. Its workforce verification unit has signed state agency deals worth over $550 million in annual contract value this year. They supply income and employment data, mainly for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. About 2,000 mortgage lenders now use VantageScore, up sevenfold since April, after policy changes by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). Management said a mortgage recovery could add $700 million of incremental margin.

Equifax adds Mastercard Open Finance cash flow data to reach 76.1M thin-file US consumers

Equifax is adding consumer-permissioned cash flow data from Mastercard Open Finance to its open banking offering. Lenders and fintechs can now use Mastercard's Cashflow Analytics, Payment Risk Insights, and Transaction Report alongside Equifax credit data. The aim is to help lenders extend credit to the 76.1 million thin-file or credit-invisible consumers in the US. Cashflow Analytics studies up to 24 months of credits, debits, and balances. Payment Risk Insights gives a score that predicts repayment risk, and Transaction Report supplies six or more months of categorised bank transaction data. "A single cash flow partner does not necessarily fit each organisation's needs," said Jacob Osborne, senior vice president and general manager, fintech and payments at Equifax.
