Equifax’s Trading Volume Dips 36.44% to 362nd Rank as Shares Slide 2.06% Amid Broader Market Volatility

On August 14, 2025, Equifax (EFX) saw a trading volume of $0.27 billion, a 36.44% drop from the previous day, ranking 362nd in market activity. The stock closed 2.06% lower, reflecting a decline in liquidity and investor interest.

The price decline aligns with broader market volatility, though no direct Equifax-specific news drove the movement. Broader economic factors, such as shifting institutional flows and cautious sentiment toward credit-related sectors, may have indirectly influenced the stock’s performance. The volume contraction suggests reduced trading activity, potentially signaling short-term uncertainty among investors.

The strategy of buying the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding them for one day from 2022 to now delivered moderate returns. The 1-day return was 0.98%, with a total return of 31.52% over 365 days. This indicates the strategy captured some short-term momentum but was subject to market fluctuations. It performed best in June 2023, with returns of 7.02%, and worst in September 2022, with a return of -4.20%. Overall, the strategy showed volatility but a positive trend, making it suitable for traders looking for short-term opportunities.
