TransUnion (TRU)

TransUnion's stock has underperformed the S&P500 Index over the past six months and year. As of late March 2026, shares were trading below their 200-day moving average, with year-to-date and yearly declines. Insider selling by several officers has been noted. Despite the underperformance, analysts have a consensus target price suggesting a potential upside. TransUnion declared cash dividends for the fourth quarter of 2025, payable in March 2026, and for the fourth quarter of 2024, payable in March 2025.

Demand for TransUnion's products and services exhibits some seasonality. The fourth quarter is typically a low period for revenue growth comparisons. Consumer behavior, such as holiday shopping, can influence demand for credit-related services. Household moving volumes are higher from May through December, potentially driving demand for address updates and related data services.
