Is Equifax stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing Equifax stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Equifax's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Equifax's P/E ratio

Equifax's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 53x. In other words, Equifax shares trade at around 53x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

Equifax's PEG ratio

Equifax's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.9449. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Equifax's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Equifax's EBITDA

Equifax's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.8 billion.

Equifax's environmental, social and governance track record

Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Equifax.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

Equifax's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 29.57

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Equifax's overall score of 29.57 (as at 12/31/2018) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 49th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Equifax is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).

Equifax's environmental score

Environmental score: 4.14/100

Equifax's environmental score of 4.14 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Equifax is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Equifax's social score

Social score: 23.35/100

Equifax stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 21.4% of net profits

Recently Equifax has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Equifax shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Equifax's case, that would currently equate to about $1.56 per share.

While Equifax's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Equifax is investing more in its future growth.

Equifax's most recent dividend payout was on 13 March 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 20 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Equifax's stocks ever split?

Equifax's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 17 December 1995 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Equifax stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Equifax stocks, which in turn could have impacted Equifax's stock price.

Equifax stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Equifax's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $211.7323 up to $308.6527. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Equifax's is 1.647. This would suggest that Equifax's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
