Equifax's $1.7 billion Q2 comes with a doubled AI cost target and a Mexican acquisition deal

7/21/2026

Eleven percent revenue growth on a $1.700 billion quarter is the kind of number that writes its own headline.

What complicates it for Equifax (NYSE: EFX) is what arrived alongside it: a signed agreement to acquire Círculo de Crédito, a Mexican credit bureau, and a decision to double the company's AI-driven cost reduction target to $150 million.
