    Im wondering if its time to be contrarian here.

    Sure, the news is terrible, and billion dollar lawsuits are coming, but what will the final outcome be?

    There is panic here, which means opportunity.

    If things keep going like this, the CEO will be fired and only get $95M instead of $150M.

    40% fall of EFX in response to the breach will have little impact on the company’s normalized earnings. Compelling long-term investment!

    I want to see that 115+ zone which was prior support. after that this will be on borrowed time in terms of being propped up.

    These guys are in deep shit.

    The regulations that are going to hit this industry should shut them down after what happened.

    Equifax – One Year Later

    This past Friday (Sept. 7th) marked the one year anniversary of the Equifax (EFX) data breach announcement. The breach, which exposed 143 million Americans’ personal information, sent EFX plummeting 37.23% from $142.72 to a low of $89.59 one week later.

    As you can see from the chart below, EFX has been steadily recovering since the lows made in the immediate aftermath of the breach announcement. At the close on Friday, EFX was sitting at a 52-week high of $135.91, only 5.13% from its level before the data breach was announced and 7.55% from its all time high. After the breach was announced, many wondered how EFX could ever recover, but at this point just one year later, it’s been all but forgotten by investors.
