Equifax Inc. (ISIN US2944291051) was trading at EUR 127.23 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 1:31 p.m. CEST, up 0.16 percent from the prior close of EUR 127.03. Markets Insider reported on October 2, 2026 that Goldman Sachs lowered its Equifax target from USD 171.00 to USD 148.00 while keeping a Neutral rating.

Target cuts set a lower bar

The Goldman Sachs move is part of a broader reset in expectations ahead of Equifax's next results. Markets Insider reported on October 2, 2026 that Barclays cut its target from USD 200.00 to USD 155.00 and retained an Equal Weight rating. The two target reductions put valuation discipline ahead of a simple growth narrative.

Quarterly growth meets pressure

Equifax's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 1.70 billion, up 10.60 percent from the same quarter in 2025. MarketBeat reported that adjusted earnings per share reached USD 2.25 versus USD 2.20 consensus for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The revenue gain therefore came with a measurable earnings beat, while the latest target cuts show that analysts remain cautious about the forward setup.

Stock sits near yearly low

Equifax had a USD 16.8 billion market capitalization as of October 6, 2026. Its primary listing is on the NYSE under ticker EFX, and the quoted 52-week range was USD 137.01 to USD 244.37 as of October 5, 2026. The range places the latest euro quote near the lower end of the company's recent trading history, although the currencies and venues are different.

Euro quote remains nearly flat

At Lang & Schwarz, Equifax stock was trading at EUR 127.23 on October 6, 2026 at 1:31 p.m. CEST, plus 0.16 percent versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 127.03 on October 5, 2026. The small daily change keeps the analyst target revisions and the second-quarter earnings comparison as the key measurable reference points.
