Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Equifax Inc. (EFX) is a global data, analytics, and technology company that provides credit reporting services, risk management, and identity verification solutions. With a market cap of $36.32 billion, Equifax offers various services to businesses, governments, and consumers, including credit monitoring, fraud detection, and workforce solutions. The company is scheduled to announce its Q3 earnings on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Ahead of the event, analysts expect EFX to report a profit of $1.82 per share, up 3.4% from $1.76 in the year-ago quarter. However, the company has beaten Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in three of the last four quarters while missing on another occasion.
