Equifax Inc. operates primarily in the credit search industry, which remains a solid business despite facing stiff competition and limited growth potential. The company's strong business economics have enabled it to recover effectively from past data breaches, instilling confidence among analysts and investors. While Equifax is diversifying its offerings, concerns arise regarding the quality of these new ventures when compared to its core business. The company's balance sheet appears healthy, reflecting competent management. Analysts suggest that the stock's future performance hinges on growth opportunities and valuation metrics, especially as lower interest rates in the US are expected to boost financing activities and, consequently, increase demand for credit checks.

WATCH

Main business is credit searches; a good business, but competition and only so much growth. Business economics are very strong. Recovered well from data breach. Diversifying, but into businesses that are less good than core business. Good balance sheet, reasonably well run. Comes down to growth and valuation.

TOP PICK

People want more than a credit rating, but things like a criminal record (for employers). Lower interest rates will encourage more financings in the US and drive EFX's business to do credit checks.

DON'T BUY
It is an effective generator of cash. Free cash flow is more important over operating cash flow. It does credit reports and volumes are falling off. Needs interest rates to stabilize. When rates rise people worry the business will do poorly. Maybe it is positioned to do better.

DON'T BUY

This was the big cyber breach in personal information on hundreds of millions of consumers. It’s a broken story. It’s early days in terms of class action lawsuits. Too risky.

DON'T BUY

He wouldn’t go anywhere near this company following their problems with the cyber attack. You just don’t know what is going to happen. In these situations, especially in the US, a very litigious environment, there is going to be a significant amount of piling on here.
