Barclays downgraded Equifax (EFX) to Equal Weight from Overweight with a price target of $260, down from $325. With new tariffs likely to boost inflation and risk a recession, the credit bureaus, followed by rating agencies, are “most at risk of negative number revisions for the year,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says Equifax “will clearly be hurt by a consumer recession with not many offsets.”
