Is TRU overvalued in 2026?
TransUnion (TRU) currently trades at $70.47 per share with a market capitalization of $13,586,616,000.00. Based on our multi-factor framework, the stock trades at a fair valuation with a Smart Value Score of 72/100. This score blends growth quality, financial health, and price attractiveness into a single institutional-grade read.
The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 19.5x, below its 5-year median of 37.0x. The PEG ratio of 1.13 points to a price that reasonably reflects expected earnings growth.
Looking at its own history, TRU is currently trading cheaper than 76% of the last 5Y on P/E. This places it in the 24th percentile of its historical range, a level that has historically coincided with attractive entry points.
A standard DCF model does not produce reliable output for TRU under current conditions. For unprofitable or near-breakeven companies, revenue-based multiples such as EV/Sales and historical P/S percentile are more informative than intrinsic value calculations.
The Piotroski F-Score of 6/9 puts financial quality in a middling range, neither a standout strength nor an obvious red flag.
Bottom line: TRU trades at a fair valuation on our framework, with a Smart Value Score of 72/100. The valuation is defensible but offers no obvious bargain. Patience or a better entry price may reward disciplined buyers.
