Equifax reported record first-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.65 billion, up 14% year-on-year and exceeding its guidance midpoint by $37 million, driven largely by strong U.S. mortgage activity early in the quarter.
Growth was broad-based, with U.S. mortgage revenue rising 38%, Workforce Solutions increasing 10%, and international revenue up 11%. The company also highlighted continued momentum in new product innovation, supported by its cloud and AI capabilities.
Equifax returned $327 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, reflecting strong cash flow generation.
Despite the strong start, the company maintained its full-year guidance, citing uncertainty around interest rates and mortgage demand, while slightly increasing reported revenue and adjusted EPS outlook due to foreign exchange effects.
