Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Capital ReturnsThe completion of cloud migration is expected to lead to stronger free cash flow conversion, with management anticipating more capital to be returned to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
Earnings GrowthEquifax has the potential for multiple years of compounding strong EPS growth given strong structural growth, mortgage recovery, and significant tech transformation benefits.
Valuation And Stock PerformanceValuation seems attractive, and recent stock underperformance lowers near-term expectations, yielding a more attractive stock risk/reward.
Bears Say
Guidance ReductionGuidance reduction is seen as a modest negative despite the better mortgage market, with slowing gross hiring activity cited as a primary incremental headwind.
Interest-rate VolatilityInterest-rate volatility and ongoing weakness in white-collar hiring continue to negatively affect near-term numbers.
Revenue And Margin PerformanceStronger mortgage revenue was canceled out by FX headwinds and weaker talent solutions revenue due to softer white collar hiring activity, resulting in a modest reduction to the FY24 guide at the midpoint.
