The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2022 revenues is pegged at $1.31 billion, indicating growth of 6.5% from the year-ago period’s reported figure. The upbeat view is likely to have been driven by strength in the U.S. Information Solutions, International, Workforce Solutions and Global Consumer Solutions segments. The consensus mark meets the lower end of management’s guided range of $1.31-$1.33 billion.
Segment wise, the consensus mark for U.S. Information Solutions revenues is pegged at $425 million, implying an improvement of 4.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for International revenues is pegged at $296 million, indicating growth of 17.9% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The uptick is likely to have resulted from strength across the Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe and Canada businesses.
The consensus estimate for Workforce Solutions revenues is pegged at $601 million, indicating growth of 21.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Strength in Verification Services and Employer Services revenues is likely to have aided the segment.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EFX’s earnings is pegged at $2.03 per share, indicating growth of 2.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark lies within management’s guided range of $1.98-$2.08 per share.
