Share price, revenues, EBITDA
Transunion being one of the smallest of the "Big Three" consumer credit rating agencies continues its performance with delivering increasing EBTDA, revenues due to its oligopolistic stance.
Currently its correlation is at a mere -0,03 against the SP500 presenting an opportunity for the patient investor, as its historical correlation has been at 0.8
Markets currently trading in a low volatility-environment (ViX<13) should translate to the correlation increasing, and the share moving in tandem with broader market indices.
The agency has a presence in over 30 countries, meaning that a significant portion of its revenues are contingent on global growth. While global growth has been subdued due to the U.S-China trade-war, there is a lot of upside once these tensions subside. Currently the markets prices in an undue amount of risk into the stock, being reflected in that its share price is lower than it should be.
Trading at a P/E of 42.5x, could be considered quite high on its own, but has to be compared to the competition among the "Big Three".
Equifax trading at a P/E of 48.2x, and Experian 40.63x.
Therefore, the stock isn't necessarily high-priced, but at sensible yet undervalued valuations. We rate the stock a BUY with a target price of 100$ until Q1 of 2020.
