信用评级公司艾可菲(Equifax, EFX)10月17日盘前大跌5.16%,股价一度跌至276.01美元,创逾两个月新低。导致其股价大跌的主因是公司发布的2024年业绩展望疲软,低于市场预期。
艾可菲周三晚间发布了2024年业绩指引。公司预计2024年净利润为57亿至57.2亿美元,低于路透(LSEG)预计的57.4亿美元,主要原因是抵押贷款市场不景气影响了业务表现。公司还指出,2024年每股收益预计为7.25美元至7.35美元,也低于分析师平均预期的7.36美元。
尽管艾可菲表示,对8%-12%的长期利润增长框架仍有信心,这将提高利润率,加速自由现金流的增长。但公司疲软的2024年业绩指引令投资者对其未来增长前景感到担忧,推动了股价的大幅下跌。
