Dividend increase → 12% hike to $0.56 payable March 17; bearish technicals persist

Equifax Board authorized 12% dividend increase to $0.56 per share payable March 17, 2026, continuing 100+ years of consecutive dividend payments. Stock faces headwinds with bearish technical setup trading below 50-day and 200-day moving averages since September, yet Wall Street maintains Moderate Buy consensus with mean target of $236.57 (23.5% upside potential). Rising expenses and declining stock performance create mixed signals though dividend strength and earnings consistency support longer-term thesis.
