TransUnion earnings exceeded analyst estimates in the third quarter of 2026, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.25 and revenue rising 12.0% from a year earlier to $1.31 billion. The credit reporting company announced the results on October 27.

Key Takeaways

  • Third-quarter non-GAAP earnings per share beat the consensus estimate by $0.04, while revenue was in line with expectations.
  • The adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 35.4% from 36.3% a year earlier.
  • Management projected fourth-quarter revenue of $1.26 billion to $1.29 billion and earnings per share of $1.20.

TransUnion earnings and margin

The company’s third-quarter revenue growth came alongside a narrower adjusted EBITDA margin. That measure fell from 36.3% a year earlier, meaning adjusted EBITDA represented a smaller share of revenue despite the increase in sales.

TransUnion provides data, analytics and decision-making tools to customers including banks, insurers, landlords and government agencies. It is one of the three major U.S. consumer credit reporting agencies, alongside Equifax and Experian.

Fourth-quarter outlook

Management’s fourth-quarter revenue and earnings-per-share guidance aligned with consensus forecasts. The projected figures are an outlook, not completed results.

The available information does not specify whether the $1.20 earnings-per-share forecast uses the same non-GAAP basis as the third-quarter result.
