TransUnion (TRU) - data and analytics moat play trading near 30% below targets with financial sector tailwinds

I’ve been screening wide moat data names and TransUnion caught my eye at a discount. Business model is straightforward but the economics are strong.

They provide credit reporting, analytics, and decisioning tools to lenders and businesses. Moat is the huge data set and network effects. Tough to replicate. They’re adding AI insights to expand the market.

Financials show steady free cash flow from core information services. Recent guidance stable, good margins, mostly recurring revenue. Price reflects about 28-30% below average targets around $91. Street leans Moderate Buy.

Short term, financial deregulation or positive credit market moves could boost demand. AI in lending fits broader tech-friendly policies. Macro sensitivity exists but the moat helps. I hold a position and have been averaging in. Checks the durable advantages, cash flow, positive coverage, and meaningful discount boxes.
Curious what you think. Any TRU holders? How are you viewing near-term catalysts? Pushback is welcome.
