Baird analyst Jeffrey Meuler upgraded Equifax Inc. EFX to Outperform from Neutral and lowered the price target to $281 (an upside of 25%), from $290.
The analyst cites the company's "exceptional" employment/income verification business, a "very good business" as one of three global credit bureaus and its modernized tech stack.
Meuler mentions the cyclical outlook is favorable outside U.S. mortgage refi, while estimates already assume material U.S. refi headwinds. He views the current valuation of shares as "attractive."
