Recent press releases and 8-K filings for EFX.
- Equifax secured 27 new patents in the second half of 2025, bringing its total for the year to 62, with 20 patents supporting its AI-driven EFX.AI strategy.
- The company holds nearly 700 issued or pending patents across 15 countries, including 320+ focused on responsible AI techniques.
- Recent patents cover innovations such as production-ready attribute management in Equifax Ignite, expedited risk data validation, and machine-learning–based integrated risk scoring.
- Backed by an approximately $3 billion multi-year investment in its Equifax Cloud infrastructure, these patents aim to accelerate AI-enabled product development and consumer decisioning.
- Equifax has introduced Income Qualify, a new product delivering verified income and employment insights from The Work Number to mortgage lenders during the prequalification and pre-approval phase alongside its consumer credit file.
- Income Qualify supplies key data points—Name/SSN, Employer Name, Tenure, and Prior-Year Total Income—to help lenders assess borrower eligibility faster, reduce risk, and manage costs earlier in the loan process.
- The company also announced VantageScore 4.0 mortgage credit scores at over 50% reduced pricing versus FICO 2026 rates, fixed at $4.50 for two years, plus free VantageScore with each FICO Score purchase.
- Stable U.S. consumer credit environment with low unemployment supporting demand, though delinquencies among lower-income segments (e.g., auto, subprime) have modestly increased; management expects 2026 trends to mirror 2025.
- Rolling out the TWIN employment indicator across mortgage and auto files to enhance underwriting with real-time work data, aiming for higher approval rates at lower losses.
- Launching VantageScore at $4.50 (fixed for multiple years) alongside every paid FICO Score to capitalize on FICO’s price hike to $10 and drive lender adoption; a full migration could yield $100 million in incremental annual margin at current mortgage volumes.
- Workforce Solutions’ government vertical targets a $5 billion TAM in social-service income verification, with current revenues of $800 million and anticipated high-teens growth driven by OB3’s stricter error-rate and recertification mandates.
- U.S. consumer credit environment remains stable with modest lending growth; banks’ strong capital and low unemployment support credit quality despite rising subprime delinquencies, which have yet to affect Equifax’s core portfolios.
- Equifax is expanding underwriting solutions by rolling out the TWIN indicator across mortgage and auto credit files to combine employment data with credit scores, aiming for higher approval rates at lower losses.
- In Talent Solutions, Equifax’s background screening data business (~$400 M) outgrew the softer white-collar hiring market by leveraging instant payroll-based work history and pursuing expansion into blue-collar segments with a $3–4 B TAM.
- Mortgage originations are down ~50% since 2019; Equifax sees a bottoming and potential refi recovery if rates fall, and is promoting VantageScore at $4.50 to counter FICO’s price hike to $10, unlocking up to ~$100 M incremental margin on full conversion.
- Workforce Solutions’ government vertical ($800 M run-rate) targets a $5 B TAM for income and employment verification in social services, accelerated by OB3 error-rate rules and state cost-sharing shifts.
- Equifax sees a $1.2 billion incremental revenue opportunity (adding $700 million EBITDA and $4 EPS) if the mortgage market reverts to 2015–2019 norms, with an update in February 2026 reflecting price increases.
- Maintains a 7%–10% long-term organic growth goal excluding mortgage recovery, underpinned by GDP (200–300 bps), product innovation (Vitality Index >10%), pricing, record additions, and market penetration.
- Plans to accelerate VantageScore adoption in mortgages by offering it at $4.50 (fixed for multiple years) and free with every paid FICO Score, aiming to capture up to $100 million in incremental margin in full conversion.
- Targets the $5 billion government social services market with its Workforce Solutions data (currently $800 million revenue, 20% CAGR), boosted by the OB3 bill’s error-rate penalties and six-month redeterminations.
- Equifax’s government vertical in Workforce Solutions generated $800 million in revenue in 2025 against a $5 billion TAM, growing at a 20% CAGR, and will benefit from new OB3 requirements and a 2026 monitoring solution for work, education, and volunteer compliance in social services delivery.
- The Talent Solutions business addresses a $4 billion background-screening TAM with $400 million in revenue, leveraging a “digital resume” of nearly 100 million active and historical records, which grew 10% year-over-year in 2025.
- The mortgage market was down high-single digits in 2025; Equifax projects a 2026 recovery could deliver >$1.2 billion in incremental revenue, $700 million in EBITDA, and $4.00 in EPS, while promoting VantageScore at $4.50 versus FICO’s $10 to accelerate adoption.
- For 2026, Equifax expects depreciation & amortization to rise by $50 million, interest expense by $25 million, and its effective tax rate to increase by 50 bps, driven by cloud investments, M&A, and share repurchases.
- Equifax’s government vertical in Workforce Solutions targets a $5 billion TAM for income and employment verifications in social services, with $800 million in revenue today and expected double-digit growth driven by new OB-3 requirements to reduce $160 billion in improper payments.
- The Talent Solutions segment, offering digital employment verification and background data, addresses a $4 billion TAM and generates about $400 million in revenue, supported by ~10% annual record growth to nearly cover all income-producing U.S. workers.
- U.S. mortgage hard inquiries were down high single digits in 2025, with management expecting a market bottom by late 2026 and potential upside of $1.2 billion in revenue, $700 million in EBITDA and $4 in EPS from a mortgage recovery; VantageScore is priced at $4.50 vs. $10 FICO to accelerate adoption.
- For 2026, Equifax anticipates depreciation and amortization rising by $50 million, interest expense by $25 million, and the effective tax rate increasing by 50 bps.
- Government vertical in Workforce Solutions (~$2.5 B revenue) addresses a $5 B TAM for social‐service income/employment verification; current revenue ~$800 M, targeting double-digit growth driven by OB-3 improper-payment reforms and a 2026 compliance monitoring solution
- Talent Solutions serves a $4 B TAM in background‐screening data (historical employment, education, incarceration, credentialing), with current revenue ~$400 M; growth levers include deeper penetration, new data assets, and hourly‐workforce products
- Mortgage outlook: USIS hard‐credit inquiries down high single digits in 2025; management sees a $1.2 B incremental revenue opportunity if volumes return to 2015–19 levels; launching VantageScore at $4.50 vs. FICO $10 to capture a $100–200 M profit pool
- 2026 expense guidance: depreciation & amortization +$50 M, interest expense +$25 M (reflecting acquisitions and share buybacks), effective tax rate +50 bps; share repurchases continue (>$300 M in Q3)

- Vault Verify, founded in 2012 with a concentration in the healthcare sector, will now operate within Equifax Workforce Solutions to streamline verifications for job applications, mortgages, social service benefits, and other financial services.
