Lapping data breach, re-acceleration from Q3

Equifax's underlying revenue growth should accelerate from Q3 as commercial relationships continue to normalise and the company begins to lap the data breach headwinds. The IT transformation is a drag on near term cash flow but should benefit the speed to market of new products and margins longer term. Within an attractive sector, we expect the company can return to its compounding earnings growth profile. We remain Overweight with our increased PT of $150 requiring a 22x forward PE multiple in a year.
