Read MoreHide Full Article
The upcoming report from TransUnion (TRU - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly earnings of $0.96 per share, indicating an increase of 20% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $1.03 billion, representing an increase of 7.7% year over year.
The current level reflects a downward revision of 0.1% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.
Ahead of a company's earnings disclosure, it is crucial to give due consideration to changes in earnings estimates.

Numerous empirical studies consistently demonstrate a strong relationship between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
