CHICAGO, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) today released new research revealing that despite a decline in incidents across many fraud types, fraud losses in auto lending have increased significantly in recent years. The findings point to a fraud environment impacting dealerships and auto lenders where fewer events drive greater financial losses. Today’s fraudsters have evolved to concentrate on higher-value opportunities throughout the lending lifecycle, especially as new and used vehicle prices reach heightened levels.
Auto lenders are facing substantially higher fraud-related losses across multiple fraud categories. Between Q3 2018 and Q3 2025, losses tied to first-party, third-party and synthetic fraud increased significantly. First-party fraud, which occurs when an individual deliberately provides false information or misrepresents themselves to obtain goods, services or credit, experienced the largest increase. It saw estimated losses rising from $88 million to $323 million—an increase of approximately 267% over the period.
Gaps in fraud detection, especially resolving identities, open the door to large charge-off losses by lenders and dealerships that most often are not found out until weeks or months later and are not recoverable.
“Fraudsters are becoming increasingly targeted and efficient,” said Satyan Merchant, senior vice president and automotive and mortgage business leader at TransUnion. “While fraud volume remains an important indicator of risk, we are seeing criminals drive significantly higher losses through fewer, more strategic attacks by targeting high-value opportunities and exploiting vulnerabilities across the lending lifecycle. For lenders, effectively managing fraud risk requires a comprehensive view of both frequency and financial impact—not only how often fraud occurs, but also the severity of each incident and its potential effect on the business.”
Auto Lending Fraud Losses Saw Significant Growth Across Multiple Fraud Segments
Fraud TypeQ3 2018Q3 2025First-party Fraud$88 million$323 millionThird-party Fraud$18 million$47 millionSynthetic Fraud$93 million$208 millionSource: TransUnion US consumer credit database
Third-party fraud, which involves the use of another person’s identity without their knowledge or consent, is a clear example of the divergent trends of incidences and losses. In auto lending, the incidence rate in Q3 2025 was less than half its Q3 2018 level, yet associated losses were 2.6 times higher. Similar trends were observed for other types of fraud. These gaps show how fraudsters are becoming more strategic and executing fewer schemes while targeting larger loan balances and generating greater losses.
Though less common, third-party fraud can produce substantial losses due to the high balances associated with fraudulent auto loans. Some of the largest losses occur among traditionally lower-risk, higher-credit tiers, where fraud incidence is lower, but loss severity is significantly higher.
A Growing Threat: Credit Washing and Hidden Credit Risk
Beyond traditional fraud activity, lenders are also confronting emerging forms of identity and credit manipulation that can mask underlying risk. Credit washing, in particular, is creating new challenges by artificially enhancing the creditworthiness of some borrowers.
Credit washing conceals critical risk signals and undermines the accuracy of credit-based decisioning. Consumers with suppressed negative tradelines can exhibit risk levels similar to much lower credit tiers despite appearing prime or above prime at origination. In some cases, they are several times more likely to experience early charge-off in the 12 months following origination than borrowers without suppressed credit events.

“Credit washing is one of the more concerning emerging trends because it fundamentally distorts how lenders assess risk,” said Naureen Ali, U.S. head of fraud at TransUnion. “When negative credit information is removed or suppressed, consumers can appear more creditworthy than they really are, leading to a higher likelihood of early default.”
In 2025, roughly 5% of U.S. consumers have had charged-off accounts suppressed for atypical reasons, with an estimated $10 billion in debt erased from credit reports, creating disproportionate risk and decisioning blind spots. These findings reinforce the need for lenders to look beyond traditional credit attributes and incorporate deeper identity intelligence into their processes.
Ali continued, “The goal of fraud solutions like TransUnion's suite of fraud solutions is to help lenders and dealers uncover and identify hidden risks. Whether it is credit washing or identity-based fraud, by combining identity verification and linkage analytics, synthetic ID detection, and anomalies on the credit file, TransUnion can help lenders uncover those hidden risks earlier and allow lenders to make more informed lending decisions.”

86% of Canadians surveyed rank inflation among their top three household financial concerns; 51% continue to cut discretionary spendingDespite improving financial optimism over household finances, 50% say their income isn’t keeping pace with inflationOne quarter (25%) of consumers plan to apply for new credit, but many remain cautious about borrowing costsAs fraud threats rise, 40% of Canadians surveyed now check their credit report at least monthly TORONTO, July 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadians are showing modest signs of financial improvement, but affordability pressures continue to shape how they spend, borrow and protect themselves financially, according to TransUnion's (NYSE: TRU) Q2 2026 Canada Consumer Pulse Study. While financial optimism has improved over the past year, with 45% of Canadians surveyed expressing optimism about their household finances over the next 12 months, many households continue to feel financially stretched. Half (50%) of Canadians surveyed said their income isn't keeping pace with inflation, while 86% ranked inflation among their top three household financial concerns.
The survey responses suggest a gradual improvement in Canadians' financial health, driven by stronger household incomes and growing confidence about the year ahead. One-quarter (25%) of consumers reported an increase in household income over the past three months, while nearly one in four (24%) said their finances are better than expected so far this year – the highest level recorded in the past year. However, those gains do not appear to have translated into broad financial relief, as many households continue to face cost-of-living pressures and absorb higher everyday expenses.
"Many Canadians are beginning to see improvements in their financial outlook and have adapted to sustained periods of economic uncertainty. They're continuing to make decisions through an affordability lens," said Matt Fabian, senior director of financial services research and consulting at TransUnion Canada. "While improving incomes and easing economic conditions are helping households regain their footing, affordability continues to shape everyday financial decisions. We're seeing Canadians become more intentional with how they spend, borrow and manage their financial health as they adapt to a higher-cost environment.”
Affordability Continues to Shape Spending Decisions
Although household finances are beginning to improve, many Canadians continue to make deliberate trade-offs in how they manage their budgets. The findings suggest consumers remain focused on essential expenses while remaining selective about discretionary purchases, even as some early signs point to growing financial confidence.
Among those surveyed:
51% cut back on discretionary spending, including dining out, travel and entertainment26% cancelled subscriptions or memberships18% chose to pay down debt obligations faster11% increased discretionary spending, up three percentage points year over year, signaling early signs that some households are beginning to regain financial flexibility Canadians Remain Cautious About Borrowing
Despite ongoing affordability pressures, Canadians have not materially pulled back from the credit market. One-quarter (25%) of Canadians surveyed plan to apply for new credit or refinance existing credit over the next year, unchanged from a year ago, demonstrating that consumers continue to value credit as a financial tool. However, the findings suggest many Canadians are taking a more cautious and deliberate approach to borrowing as they navigate higher living costs.
Younger Canadians continue to lead the demand for new credit, with nearly half (48%) of Gen Z consumers and 37% of Millennials planning to apply for new credit or refinance existing credit over the next year. Credit cards remain the preferred borrowing product, with nearly half (49%) of prospective borrowers planning to apply for a new credit card.
At the same time, about one in five Canadians (21%) considered applying for new credit but ultimately chose not to move forward. Among those consumers, 29% said they decided they didn't need additional credit, while 26% cited the cost of credit as the primary reason. Roughly one in five also believed they would not qualify because of their credit history (22%) or income and employment status (20%), underscoring how affordability pressures continue to influence borrowing decisions.
"We're seeing Canadians become more intentional in how they approach credit," said Fabian. "Consumers continue to recognize the value of credit, but they're carefully weighing borrowing costs, eligibility and their financial needs before making decisions. That reflects a more thoughtful approach to managing finances as households continue adapting to a higher-cost environment."
Growing Fraud Threats are Driving More Proactive Financial Management
As fraud attempts and data breaches become increasingly common, Canadians are taking a more active role in monitoring and protecting their financial health. The study found that 44% of Canadians were targeted by fraud in the past three months but did not become victims, while 20% said they had been notified they were affected by a data breach.
Against that backdrop, credit monitoring is becoming an increasingly common financial habit, with 40% of consumers checking their credit report at least monthly, up three percentage points year over year. Consumers are also increasingly monitoring their credit reports to detect fraud and verify the accuracy of their credit information, rather than to simply improve their credit scores.
Despite growing awareness of cybersecurity risks, significant knowledge gaps remain. One-third (33%) of consumers reported taking no action to address cybersecurity concerns, while more than half (51%) of those consumers said they were unsure what steps to take.

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when TransUnion (TRU - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 28. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis credit reporting company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.14 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +5.6%.
Revenues are expected to be $1.29 billion, up 12.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for TransUnion?For TransUnion, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.73%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination indicates that TransUnion will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that TransUnion would post earnings of $1.11 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.18, delivering a surprise of +6.31%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
TransUnion appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

CHICAGO, July 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) today announced an enhancement to its mortgage credit report, with the addition of TruVision™ Alternative Credit Attributes (ACA 2.0) from its FactorTrust® Alternative Lending Database to expand lenders’ visibility beyond traditional credit data.
The new alternative credit attributes give lenders earlier insight into borrower stability and intent, enabling them to prioritize high-potential applicants earlier in the funnel, streamline workflows and focus resources on loans more likely to convert. Applied as early as the prequalification stage, the data helps reduce risk sooner in the decisioning process. It also supports more consistent underwriting and enables competitive pricing for qualified borrowers.
By layering alternative financial signals alongside traditional credit data, the new ACA 2.0 attributes deepen mortgage risk assessments and provide greater visibility into the consumer’s full wallet. Moreover, these enhanced insights are delivered at no additional cost, enabling lenders to improve decision quality without increasing underwriting expense.
“This enhancement reflects our continued focus on giving mortgage lenders a more complete and actionable view of borrower behavior,” said Satyan Merchant, senior vice president and mortgage and automotive business leader at TransUnion. “By bringing richer credit insight earlier into the process, lenders can make more confident decisions, reduce unnecessary risk and concentrate their efforts on applicants most likely to convert—ultimately enabling more efficient access to credit for qualified consumers.”
Continuing a History of Mortgage Lending Innovation
This latest enhancement to the mortgage credit report builds on TransUnion’s legacy of innovation that helps lenders better assess consumer creditworthiness. These include:
Trended Credit Data: In 2013, TransUnion introduced first-to-market trended credit data, shifting underwriting away from a single point-in-time snapshot toward a more dynamic view of borrower behavior. This helps reshape risk assessment, segmentation and approaches to fairer pricing.TruVision Early Access Soft Check: This solution delivers comprehensive credit insights without a hard inquiry, enabling smarter prequalification decisions. It brings rich TransUnion data earlier into the mortgage process, improving operational efficiency and transparency for both lenders and borrowers. “TransUnion continues to expand credit insight through our risk solutions,” said Mohamed Abdelsadek, Chief Global Solutions Officer, TransUnion. “Combined with TruVision™ Alternative Credit Attributes, these innovations give lenders greater confidence and a more complete, dynamic view of consumer financial behavior.”

Key Takeaways TransUnion is benefiting from demand for big data analytics and reported 14% first-quarter revenue growth.TRU expanded AI offerings & completed acquisitions to strengthen analytics, fraud & messaging capabilities.TransUnion's solid liquidity supports flexibility, while debt and competition continue to pose challenges. Shares of TransUnion (TRU - Free Report) have had a decent run over the past month. The stock has risen 9.7% compared with the industry’s 1.8% growth. The Zacks S&P 500 composite barely moved during the said time frame.
TRU’s second-quarter 2026 earnings are expected to be up 5.6% year over year. Earnings for 2026 and 2027 are projected to rise 10.5% and 16.9% year over year, respectively. Revenues are expected to increase 12.4% in 2026 and 128.3% in 2027.
Factors That Bode Well for TRUTransUnion, a leading global provider of risk and information solutions to businesses and consumers, benefits from the fast-growing big data and analytics market, driven by the strong demand for data-backed business insights and reports by organizations. This increasing pace of harnessing data for business insights and decision-making enables TRU to leverage advanced technology to enhance its analytics capabilities and expand its database. The company reported first-quarter 2026 revenue growth of 14% year over year on a reported basis and 11% organically in constant currency.
TRU’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered innovative solutions also play a key role in its overall growth. The company is expanding its next-gen AI-powered product portfolio to support long-term sustainability.
It recently introduced TruIQ Analytics Orchestrator, which utilizes Google's Gemini models to streamline advanced credit modeling through natural language prompts, enhanced its AI-powered marketing audience solutions that transform static customer segments into dynamic, value-driven audiences and upgraded its AI-powered fraud model factory, which is capable of launching new fraud detection models two to three times faster.

TRU’s disciplined buyout strategy is strengthening its outlook.

The company’s current ratio (a measure of liquidity) was 1.93 at the end of the first quarter of 2026, higher than the industry average of 1.01. A current ratio of more than 1 often indicates that the company is well-positioned to pay off its short-term obligations.
Risks to WatchPast acquisitions and aggressive expansion have burdened TransUnion with substantial debt. Although the debt has fueled the company's growth. It has also increased operating costs and limited future opportunities.
Global business information service providers operate in a fiercely competitive landscape. TRU faces heightened competition from firms like Equifax, Experian and LexisNexis across sectors. This competition fuels innovation across the industry while driving pricing pressures. Ongoing technology investments increase the challenge of maintaining profitability while competing for growth.
TransUnion currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Stocks to ConsiderA couple of better-ranked stocks in the broader Zacks Business Services sector are Veralto Corporation (VLTO - Free Report) and Corpay, Inc. (CPAY - Free Report) .
Veralto Corporation carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 8.4%. VLTO delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 4.9% on average.
Corpay, Inc. also holds a Zacks Rank of 2 at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 14.3%. CPAY's earnings beat estimates in three of the last four quarters and matched once, with the surprise being 2% on average.
For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreWhat if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, TRU should be on investors' short list.
Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
The popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreValue investors love finding good stocks at good prices, especially before the broader market catches on to a stock's true value. Utilizing ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and many other multiples, the Value Style Score identifies the most attractive and most discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Is TRU Overvalued or Undervalued? TransUnion's current price of $78.31 is significantly below its GF Value™ estimate of $96.58, suggesting that the stock is undervalued by approximately 18.9%. This price discrepancy presents a potential opportunity for investors, as the margin of safety appears favorable. The GF Valuation label indicates that the stock is modestly undervalued, which aligns with the positive valuation metrics observed.
However, potential investors should consider the risks associated with this opportunity, particularly given the recent insider selling activity.

Notably, the company excels in growth, with a perfect score of 10/10, suggesting robust growth potential moving forward. However, its financial strength is rated at just 5/10, indicating some concerns in this area. Overall, the combination of strong profitability and growth with moderate financial strength presents a balanced view of the company's operational health.
What Are Insiders Doing with TRU Stock? In the past three months, insiders have sold approximately $1.8 million worth of TransUnion stock, with no notable buying activity reported. This pattern of selling may suggest a lack of confidence from insiders in the company's short-term prospects, which could be a concern for potential investors. The absence of insider purchasing typically raises red flags, as it may indicate that those with the most intimate knowledge of the company's operations do not see an immediate upside.
What This Means for Investors Based on the assessment of GF Value™, TransUnion appears to be undervalued at its current price of $78.31. While there is a notable upside potential according to the GF Value™ estimate, investors should exercise caution given the insider selling activity. This suggests that while the valuation may be attractive, it is essential to remain aware of potential risks.

CHICAGO, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Real estate professionals face an increasingly challenging environment, hindered by prolonged housing inventory stagnation and persistent economic uncertainty. As speculation grows around potential mortgage rate cuts or increases, a new report from TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) provides actionable insights to help agents plan for either scenario.
The report predicts changes in the number of mortgage-ready renters across metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), based on a 25 basis-point increase or decrease from a 6.5% mortgage interest rate. It maps the impact across four categories:
Rate-Cut Winners — MSAs expected to see the most growth from a rate decrease and the smallest decline from a rate increase (includes Muncie, Indiana and Decatur, Illinois)Rate Hike Soft Markets — MSAs projected to experience the most losses from a rate increase and the least growth from a rate decrease (includes Springfield, Ohio and Warner-Robins, Georgia)Rate Sensitive Markets — MSAs with above average growth for rate decreases and above average loss for rate increases (includes Waterloo-Cedar Falls, Iowa and Battle Creek, Michigan)Rate Resilient Markets — MSAs with below average growth for a rate decrease and below average loss for a rate increase (includes San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, California and Honolulu, Hawaii) Major cities, like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago fit squarely into the Rate Resilient Markets category. Large urban areas have greater variability of incomes and housing prices that make them less sensitive to interest rate changes for home buying activity.
The research defines mortgage-ready renters as those that meet key criteria to qualify for a mortgage on a $300,000 home. It estimates the size of this potential first-time homebuyer segment across MSAs nationwide. The full findings are available in the TransUnion Real Estate Perspectives Report.
“Real estate professionals work extraordinarily hard to serve their clients and build business,” said Melanie Zimmerman, President of TransUnion Risk and Alternative Data Solutions, Inc.1 “TransUnion provides the tools and intelligence to help them work smarter and get ahead of the market, rather than reacting to it.”
Preparing to meet demand
Even if mortgage rates decrease, tight housing inventory will continue to constrain the market, making it difficult for buyers to secure homes. The report highlights the need for real estate professionals to strengthen supply before demand surges.
As more mortgage-ready renters enter the market, some property managers may choose to sell rental properties instead of finding new tenants. Real estate professionals can use TransUnion’s TruLookup for Real Estate—a mobile-first app that generates property owner name and contact information—to identify rental property owners and engage them about potential sale opportunities. The solution also provides fraud prevention, safety checks and broader prospecting enablement.
“These findings help real estate professionals focus their prospecting efforts,” added Zimmerman. “Markets with more mortgage-ready renters may also see more property managers who consider selling those properties rather than continue renting.”

Credit delinquencies showed signs of stabilizing during a period of relative economic stability Mortgage balances continued to climb, while delinquency rates returned to pre-pandemic levelsRegional delinquency trends highlight diverging risk profiles across the provinces TORONTO, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gen Z is emerging as the fastest growing and most dynamic segment in the Canadian credit market, according to TransUnion analysis released alongside the Q1 2026 Credit Industry Insights Report (CIIR). As more Gen Z consumers enter the financial ecosystem and become credit eligible, growth in credit demand and supply, coupled with year-over-year (YoY) improvements in credit performance, has supported this trend.
The number of credit active Gen Z consumers increased by more than 460,000 new participants YoY, a 7.8% rise – the fastest growth across all generations. At the same time, Gen Z borrowers also took on more non-mortgage debt, with average balances up more than 9% YoY, outpacing other generations. This suggests a shift beyond early credit adoption toward higher credit utilization, as more Gen Z consumers expand their wallet profiles with additional credit products.
Recent borrowing patterns among Gen Z consumers reflect demand for products offering accessible funding, streamlined approval processes and flexible repayment options, which suggest increased use of credit for day-to-day expenses rather than longer-term borrowing. While this group generally holds a higher share of credit card and personal loan debt, older Gen Z consumers are beginning to participate in secured loans, such as auto loans and mortgages. Although Gen Z currently carries lower overall debt on average than other generations, their balances may continue to grow as more consumers enter the market and existing borrowers move through additional life stages.

Currently, 19.9% of Gen Z consumers are considered super prime, compared to 42.2% of the total population. However, many Gen Z consumers are still early in their credit journeys and have potential for future score improvements and broader access to credit products over time access to the right products and data, as demonstrated by prior TransUnion studies.
Despite higher balances and participation, credit performance among Gen Z consumers improved across all levels of delinquency over the past year, showing that fewer Gen Z consumers have fallen behind on payments. However, Gen Z still had the highest incidence of delinquency compared to other generations, reflecting their earlier stage in the credit lifecycle and lower credit scores.

As a result, younger borrowers may represent an increasingly important segment of future credit growth, while remaining relatively early in their credit journeys.
“The Canadian credit market is transitioning to a phase of stabilizing risk, with signs of normalization. While Gen Z continues to exhibit higher delinquency rates than other generations, they have shown the strongest year-over-year improvement in credit performance, signaling improving credit performance trends,” said Matt Fabian, senior director of financial services research and consulting at TransUnion Canada. “These trends may create opportunities for lenders to balance risk management and growth objectives, particularly in high-demand segments like Gen Z.”
Canadian Consumer Credit Delinquencies Show Signs of Stabilization
Canadian consumers are showing signs that credit stress may be stabilizing, with serious delinquency rates across major lending products remaining above pre-2023 levels but rising more slowly or remaining flat in recent quarters. Total consumer delinquency (90+ days past due) rose from 1.48% in early 2022 to 1.86% in Q1 2026, with most products peaking in early 2025 before stabilizing.
Delinquencies across most product categories showed slight YoY increases in Q1 2026, but the pace of change slowed, signaling potential stabilization. Credit cards and lines of credit began to level off, while personal loans showed continued strain in repayment performance. Auto lending also showed higher delinquencies, likely driven by higher vehicle costs, financing rates and other market conditions, with fraud potentially contributing to elevated delinquency levels. Mortgage delinquencies, while low compared to historic levels, have gradually increased over the past two years, indicating continued pressure in secured lending.

As of Q1 2026, total consumer delinquency (90+ days past due) across all credit products edged slightly lower YoY to 1.86%, which suggests that, while elevated, overall credit stress may be leveling off.
Regional differences have become more pronounced, highlighting differing economic conditions across the country. Alberta remains an outlier, with delinquency rising to 2.43%, up 6 basis points YoY, consistent with regions tied to industries that are historically more volatile and sensitive to economic conditions.
In contrast, several provinces have seen meaningful improvement. Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and British Columbia all recorded YoY declines, which may indicate improving or stabilizing credit conditions in parts of the country.

Mortgage balances continued to grow, with total outstanding balances rising 3.85% YoY to $1.91 trillion. The average mortgage balance also increased 4.3% to $290,528, which may reflect ongoing affordability pressures.
Mortgage delinquencies have also trended upward through late 2025 and into early 2026, with the national 90+ day rate reaching 0.19% in Q1 2026, up from 0.16% a year earlier. Despite this recent increase, delinquency rates remain broadly consistent with pre-pandemic levels.

This suggests that higher-balance loans are disproportionately represented in delinquency, amplifying potential loss severity even as overall delinquency rates remain contained.
Mortgage delinquency trends varied across Canada, suggesting localized pressure rather than widespread deterioration. Ontario and Prince Edward Island saw the largest increases in early‑stage delinquency, while British Columbia experienced modest growth and Quebec remained stable.
In contrast, most Prairie provinces and parts of Atlantic Canada recorded lower delinquency rates, led by Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Despite these improvements, delinquency levels remained highest in Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador, highlighting continued regional variation in mortgage performance.

Consumer Credit Index Remains Flat Year-Over-Year Despite Slow Long-Term Decline
In Q1 2026, Canada's Consumer Credit Industry Indicator (CII) rose one point from the prior quarter but remained unchanged YoY at 100.4. This stability may reflect a combination of continued positive balance behavior, a slight rise in delinquency rates and consistent levels of credit supply and demand. However, over the long term, the CII has been gradually declining from its post-pandemic peak in 2023.

NEW ORLEANS, June 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rental applicants with unusually high numbers of recent credit inquiries pose the greatest fraud risk for property managers, according to TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) research released today at Apartmentalize 2026. Applicants with 15 or more credit inquiries in the seven days prior to applying for a lease showed the highest rate of charge-offs within one year, at 32%, compared with nearly 9% for the overall sample.
The research identified the top 15 fraud indicators based on their ability to help predict a negative outcome within 12 months after a renter applied for a lease. Another leading indicator was having eight or more credit inquiries within four days, further underscoring the predictive strength of unusually high inquiry activity.
TransUnion analyzed more than 1.1 million renters who moved during 2024 and tracked charge-offs within one year after moving as a proxy for fraud-related risk.
Top Five Fraud Indicators on Renter Applications

“The average rental housing provider writes off nearly $1 million in bad debt due to fraudulent rental applications,” said Maitri Johnson, senior vice president and head of tenant and employment screening at TransUnion. “These findings help property managers focus on the warning signs most associated with elevated risk and make more confident screening decisions.”
The research also tracked which major MSAs saw the highest amounts of fraud indicators among their renters compared to the national average. Detroit ranked first with 6.7%, followed by Atlanta (6.1%) and Houston (5.6%). Other notable MSAs with higher fraud alerts included: Phoenix (4.9%), Los Angeles (4.4%), Chicago (4.2%) and San Francisco (4.1%).
“Strong screening and fraud technology tools are a must in today’s environment for property managers to spot fraud before it’s too late, and income verification can serve as an important first line of defense,” said Johnson.
For this reason and many others, TransUnion partnered with industry income verification leader Snappt. The partnership incorporates Snappt’s Applicant Trust Platform into TransUnion’s TruVision™ Resident Screening to deliver a seamless and unified screening/income verification workflow to property managers.

For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium includes access to the Zacks Style Scores as well.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

CHICAGO, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) study reveals a significant gap between insurers’ perceptions and consumer experience. While 70% of insurers say they deliver personalized experiences, only 43% of consumers agree. The disconnect is even more pronounced among Gen Z, with just 32% reporting personalized experiences.
TransUnion presented the research at its recent Insurance Summit, which brought together 112 insurance professionals.
“Persistent inflation has heightened consumers’ focus on price and value,” said Patrick Foy, senior director of strategic planning for TransUnion’s insurance business. “When customers don’t feel engaged through personalization, they’re more likely to switch providers, even for modest price differences. Insurers should be especially concerned that so few Gen Z consumers report personalization, as they represent the future of the market.”
The biggest challenges to personalization
The report underscores the importance of delivering personalized experiences across the entire policy lifecycle to demonstrate value and strengthen engagement. However, many insurers struggle to do so due to misaligned organizational priorities and fragmented, siloed identity data.
The report found that 46% of insurance leaders prioritize investments in hyper-personalization, AI targeting, digital transformation and martech modernization. However, most base these decisions on internal growth targets and revenue goals. Far fewer prioritize evolving consumer expectations, which ranked fifth, with only 10% citing them as a key driver. This gap suggests insurers aim to improve personalization but have not fully prioritized customer needs.
More than half of insurance leaders cited poor or incomplete data and integration as barriers to personalization. Additionally, 62% said departmental data silos are the biggest barrier to effective data and customer relationship management strategies.
“Most insurers have a wealth of first-party data, but it remains inconsistent across departments, and few organizations operate from a unified source of truth,” said Karen Imbrogno, co-author of the study and manager of market development for TransUnion’s insurance business. “As a result, many insurers are operating with an incomplete view of the customer, and you can’t personalize to someone you can’t see.”
The report highlights that connecting consumer identity across multiple signals enables insurers to maintain a persistent view of their customers and deliver personalized and seamless experiences across the policy lifecycle. From initial advertising to customer service and claims, insurers who get identity right can make customers feel confident that they are well protected.

About the surveys
TransUnion partnered with Arizant, an independent B2Bresearch firm, to field a blind quantitative study examining how insurance leaders prioritize personalization, data strategy and customer engagement. The study surveyed 100 senior insurance decision-makers who: serve across business lines, including: property and casualty (P&C), life and multiline; were employed at a company with at least $2 billion in annual revenue; and were a director or above.
In addition, TransUnion fielded a consumer study that was nationally representative of US insurance consumers to measure expectations, perceptions, and experience across key lifecycle moments.

Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors, on the other hand, are more concerned with a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score examines things like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will experience sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +24% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
You want to make sure you're buying stocks with the highest likelihood of success, and to do that, you'll need to pick stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you like a stock that only has a #3 (Hold) rank, it should also have Scores of A or B to guarantee as much upside potential as possible.
Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
