How is TransUnion Doing?
TransUnion has an attractive business model with highly recurring and diversified revenue streams, significant operating leverage, low capital requirements and stable cash flows. The inherent nature and significance of its solutions in customers’ decision-making endow it with high customer retention and revenue visibility.
As emerging market economies continue to develop and mature, TransUnion is well-positioned to gain from the associated favorable socio-economic trends. Increased risk of identity theft due to data breaches along with high consumer awareness about the importance and usage of their credit information are propelling the demand for TransUnion’s consumer solutions.
TransUnion has a debt-laden balance sheet. The company’s cash and cash equivalent of $526 million at the end of second-quarter 2021 was well below the total debt level of $3.34 billion. This underscores that the company doesn’t have enough cash to meet this debt burden. The cash level, nevertheless, can meet the short-term debt of $69 million.
Investors interested in the broader Zacks Business Services sector can also consider other top-ranked stocks like ManpowerGroup Inc. (MAN - Free Report) , Equifax (EFX - Free Report) and Genpact Limited (G - Free Report) , each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
The long-term expected earnings per share (three to five years) growth rate for ManpowerGroup, Equifax and Genpact is pegged at 24.2%, 15.2% and 14.7%, respectively.
