Industrials · Consulting Services · Data as of 2026-10-22
Bottom line
EFX is trading at a discount to its history, near its historical support zone, and recent volume shows no clear direction. Historically, this combination has been a favourable starting point for further research. Past patterns are not a guarantee of future results.
Valuation — Trading at a discount to its history (Green)
EFX trades at 28× earnings, below its own 5-year average of 46× and roughly in line with similar industrials companies we track (28×, 74 peers). Historically this has been on the cheaper side for the stock. Its free-cash-flow yield is about 5.3%. Its current multiple sits around the 4th percentile of its own last five years — toward the low end of its own range. Its fundamentals scored 8 of 9 on a standard year-over-year quality checklist — most of the underlying trends improved last fiscal year.
Price zones — Near its historical support zone (Green)
At $187.14, the stock is close to the lower end of its recent range. Over the past year EFX has traded between $137.01 and $238.94; its historical support zone sits near $178.15 and resistance near $238.94. It is above both its 50- and 200-day averages, which has historically signalled an uptrend.
52-week range $137.01–$238.94 · 50-day average $167.02 · 200-day average $178.15
Money flow — No clear direction (Yellow)
Buying and selling volume in EFX have been fairly balanced recently, with no strong accumulation or distribution pattern. Volume on up days has been about 0.9× volume on down days over the last 30 sessions.

一句话结论
EFX 相对自身历史处于折价水平，接近其历史支撑区，近期成交量没有明确方向。从历史来看，这样的组合是一个值得进一步研究的有利起点。过去的形态并不能保证未来的结果。
估值 — 相对自身历史处于折价水平
EFX 目前的市盈率为 28×，低于其自身 5 年平均的 46×，并且大致持平于我们追踪的同类Industrials公司（28×，74 家）。从历史来看，这属于该股较便宜的一侧。其自由现金流收益率约为 5.3%。它当前的估值倍数大约位于自身过去五年分布的第 4 百分位——处于自身区间的偏低位置。在一套标准的逐年基本面核对清单上，它 9 项中通过了 8 项——上一财年多数底层趋势在改善。
价格区间 — 接近其历史支撑区
目前价格为 $187.14，接近其近期区间的下沿。过去一年 EFX 的价格在 $137.01 到 $238.94 之间波动；其历史支撑区在 $178.15 附近，阻力区在 $238.94 附近。它同时位于 50 日和 200 日均线上方，这在历史上通常对应上升趋势。
资金流向 — 方向不明确
EFX 近期的买卖成交量大致均衡，没有明显的吸筹或派发形态。过去 30 个交易日，上涨日的成交量约为下跌日的 0.9×。
股息与公司概况
EFX 过去一年每股派息 2.18 美元，相当于当前股价的 1.2%，过去五年上调过 2 次。它通过回购返还了更多：2025 财年回购 8.8亿美元，约占市值的 4.2%。
