Company News
TransUnion has launched First Look Functionality for Mortgage, allowing lenders to review credit insights before purchasing scores. The tool enables mortgage lenders to buy credit reports alone or with their chosen score, then request additional scores only when needed, without incurring the cost of a second report when eligibility conditions are met. The innovation follows TransUnion's extension of 99-cent VantageScore 4.0 mortgage pricing through 2028, with no charge when pulled alongside a FICO Score. Traditional mortgage workflows often require lenders to purchase credit scores early, leading to unnecessary fallout costs. The functionality works with both soft-pull and hard-pull workflows and is compatible with government-sponsored enterprises and Federal Housing Administration automated underwriting systems. It's available through mortgage resellers without requiring changes to existing selling guidelines or policies.
TransUnion has joined Universal Ads as an inaugural Audience partner, bringing its audience data into premium TV advertising inventory for app advertisers. The partnership extends cross-channel audience targeting and measurement from digital media to television. The move highlights how TransUnion is expanding uses of its data assets beyond traditional credit reporting. The integration allows app marketers to use consistent targeting across mobile, web, and connected TV platforms. TransUnion reported Q2 2026 sales of $1.31 billion and net income of $143.4 million. The company raised its full-year 2026 guidance to revenue of $5.13 billion to $5.16 billion and net income of $807 million to $821 million. Management has repurchased 5.67 million shares for $449.84 million under its current buyback programme.
TransUnion reported its tenth consecutive quarter of high single-digit revenue growth or better, achieving 10% organic constant currency growth in Q2 2026. The company raised its full-year adjusted diluted EPS guidance to 11-12% growth, reflecting strong first-half performance. U.S. Financial Services grew at a 9% CAGR excluding mortgage, driven by market share gains and innovation rather than underlying volumes. Over one-third of Financial Services revenue now comes from alternative data and non-credit solutions. The company's platform modernisation reached 60% of U.S. match activity migrated to OneTru, with completion expected by year-end. International operations accelerated to 6% organic growth, supported by recovery in India and strong performance in Canada and the UK. TransUnion reduced its leverage ratio to 2.6x, targeting below 2.5x long-term.
TransUnion reported second-quarter revenue of $1.31 billion, beating Wall Street expectations by 1.8% and marking 14.9% year-on-year growth. The credit reporting company also exceeded profit forecasts, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.23, 6.9% above analyst estimates. However, the company's revenue guidance for the next quarter disappointed, coming in 0.6% below expectations at $1.30 billion. TransUnion raised its full-year revenue guidance to $5.14 billion and lifted its adjusted earnings per share forecast to $4.79. Operating margin improved to 19.7%, up from 16.9% in the same quarter last year. Free cash flow margin also increased to 23.3% from 18.8%. Chief executive Chris Cartwright said TransUnion "delivered another strong quarter of outperformance".
TransUnion and ScanSource represent contrasting fortunes in the business services sector, which has lagged the S&P 500 with an 8% gain versus 10.8% over six months. TransUnion, one of America's three major credit bureaus, shows strong momentum with 11.6% annual revenue growth over five years and projected 11.4% growth ahead. The company's 10.1% free cash flow margin provides resources for reinvestment. At $79.84 per share, it trades at 16.4x forward P/E. ScanSource presents challenges. The technology distributor's sales fell 4.9% annually over two years, with Wall Street forecasting modest 2.4% growth. Its poor 3.4% free cash flow margin limits investment flexibility. The sector faces pressure from AI disruption and tightening corporate budgets, though quality businesses can still deliver earnings growth. TransUnion trades at $15.4 billion market capitalisation, whilst ScanSource stands at $1.11 billion.
