Stifel lowered the firm’s price target on First Advantage (FA) to $17 from $20 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The positive stock reaction to earnings is likely due to base volume trends continuing to improve despite “consistently flat” hiring trends, in contrast to media headlines and to what Equifax (EFX) noted in its Talent business, according to the analyst, who cites the valuation pullback in the Info Services market in general for its trimmed target.
