Equifax Reports Strong Q1 2026 Financial Performance, Exceeding Guidance
Equifax Inc. announced strong financial results for the first quarter of 2026, with reported revenue of $1.649 billion, a 14% increase year-over-year, and 13% local currency revenue growth. The company exceeded the midpoint of its February guidance by $37 million, driven by a 38% growth in U.S. Mortgage revenue and a 17% increase in the New Product Innovation Vitality Index. Net income attributable to Equifax rose 29% to $171.5 million, and diluted EPS increased 34% to $1.42 per share. Despite the strong first quarter, Equifax maintained its full-year 2026 guidance due to uncertainties around interest rates and U.S. mortgage activity, adjusting the full year reported revenue by $25 million and Adjusted EPS by $0.04 per share for the impact of foreign exchange.
