A peer-relative read for financials on profitability (ROE), valuation, and covered income — the quality-growth (FCF/ROIC) screen doesn't apply to balance-sheet businesses. Not comparable to the 0–100 quality-growth score shown on other stocks.

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.
Horizon
1-3 yr $92.24 (21-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $116.45 at ~12% CAGR — dividend compounding plus earnings growth. 10 yr $149.34 if the moat survives secular pressure.

TransUnion (TRU): score, valuation & FAQ

TransUnion (TRU) is a Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company. As a bank, insurer or REIT it runs on a different financial model from the rest of the market, so Bull Rankings grades it on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and cash-flow coverage — rather than the 0–100 quality-growth score used elsewhere. The read below is a transparent screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are PEG (B+).

Is TRU a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings grades TRU on a sector-appropriate card — price-to-book, dividend yield, payout and cash-flow coverage — rather than a single quality-growth score. That is driven by PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of TransUnion's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

How does Bull Rankings grade TRU?

As a bank, insurer or REIT, TRU isn't given a quality-growth score — signals like free cash flow, debt-to-equity and P/E don't translate cleanly to a balance-sheet business. Instead it's graded on a sector-appropriate card: price-to-book, dividend yield, payout ratio and operating-cash-flow coverage, where it rates strongest on PEG (B+).

Is TRU overvalued or undervalued?

We don't publish a discounted-cash-flow value for TRU, and not because the business is unprofitable. For a lender, insurer or property trust, "free cash flow" measures balance-sheet growth rather than owner earnings — loan originations and repayments run through operating cash flow — so discounting it would produce a confident-looking number with nothing behind it. TRU is judged on book value, return on equity and income cover instead, which is what the financial-strength card shows.

What are the main risks of investing in TRU?

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.
