Read MoreHide Full Article
For the quarter ended March 2023, TransUnion (TRU - Free Report) reported revenue of $940.3 million, up 2.1% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.80, compared to $0.93 in the year-ago quarter.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $913.69 million, representing a surprise of +2.91%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of +8.11%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $0.74.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
