Compare another set
Different reporting periods. CBOE's fundamentals are as of June 2026, but TRU's are as of March 2026 — a 3-month gap. Growth, margin and valuation figures below therefore describe different windows and aren't strictly like-for-like.

Growth against the P/E multiple. Up and to the right is cheaper and faster — the quality-growth idea in one picture. Points beyond the axis are pinned to the edge and marked off-scale rather than allowed to compress everything else.

Winner per row is the stronger grade; where grades tie, the better figure breaks it. A true tie or a missing value shows no highlight.
The companies
TRUTransUnion
Financial Data & Stock Exchanges · $65.48 · beta 1.58
Why now
Financial Data & Stock Exchanges · market cap $12.5b. Down 27% from 52-week high of $89.12 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +11%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.90 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 21 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $92.24 (implying +41% upside).
Moat
Net margin 15% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 15% meets the long-run market sustainable threshold — solid but not differentiated; the durability comes from elsewhere. FCF converts 99% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash.
Risk
Beta 1.58 implies above-market volatility — position-size to the drawdowns this name will produce in a market correction, not to its bull-case return.
CBOECboe Global Markets, Inc.
Financial Data & Stock Exchanges · $304.16 · beta 0.41
Why now
Financial Data & Stock Exchanges · market cap $31.8b. 18% off the 52-week high of $371.18. Revenue growing +15%, comfortably above the S&P median. 15 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $320.47 (implying +5% upside).
Moat
Net margin 27% sits well above the S&P median (~11%) — suggests structural pricing advantage or cost discipline competitors can't quickly close. ROE 26% — top-decile capital efficiency. Either pricing leverage, low capital intensity, or aggressive buybacks; the durability story depends on which. FCF converts 139% of net income, helped by cash released from working capital ($446m) that doesn't repeat every year.
Risk
Mature compounder — the risk is paying up for quality at a moment when growth is decelerating. Watch for sequential revenue + margin trends; the inflection from "compounder" to "ex-compounder" is hard to spot until the multiple already started compressing.

Common questions
Is TRU or CBOE the better stock?
TRU scores higher: TRU 83.0, CBOE 81.0 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth score, which blends business quality, growth and valuation into one number. A higher score means a stronger business at a more reasonable price — it is not a price target or a recommendation.
How are TRU and CBOE scored?
Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site, built from three pillars — quality (profitability and returns on capital), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (what you pay for them) — combined as a geometric mean, so a weak pillar cannot be papered over by a strong one.
