Our latest recap available to Bespoke subscribers covers Equifax’s (EFX) Q2 2025 earnings call.

Equifax (EFX) is a data, analytics, and technology company best known for its credit bureau services, but its reach extends into employment, income, identity, and fraud verification. Through platforms like The Work Number (TWN), Equifax offers real-time employment data, enabling government agencies, banks, auto lenders, and employers to make faster, more informed decisions. With its US cloud transformation complete, the company has built a modern infrastructure for multi-data solutions that combine credit, income, and alternative data. Its scale and regulatory relationships give it unique insight into consumer behavior, hiring trends, state budget dynamics, and credit market activity. The company’s earnings call spotlighted a growing divide between short-term government headwinds and long-term optimism, with One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)-related requirements and IRS EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit) fraud detection driving a bullish long-range view. Mortgage revenue rose 20% despite 8.5% lower inquiry volumes, buoyed by strong pricing and TWN-enhanced preapproval products. Talent Solutions remained soft as corporate hiring slowed and job churn stayed low. The cloud-powered innovation engine is clearly working: US Information Services hit a 10% new product vitality rate, and international markets are seeing margin lift from efficiency gains. Caution around tariffs and economic uncertainty kept the second-half guide more subdued despite solid YTD results, and the stock fell as much as 7.3% on 7/22…
