TransUnion beats Q2 guidance, raises 2026 outlook as revenue jumps 15%
TransUnion reported second quarter 2026 revenue of $1,310 million, up 15% year-over-year, exceeding its own guidance. Net income attributable to TransUnion was $143 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.74, both higher than the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA rose 12% to $456 million, and the company increased its share repurchases to $150 million year-to-date. TransUnion raised its full-year 2026 guidance, now expecting 12% to 13% revenue growth and 11% to 12% adjusted diluted EPS growth.
TransUnion's strong results and raised outlook signal continued demand for its data and analytics services, especially in U.S. financial services and emerging verticals. Beating guidance and boosting forecasts suggest resilience in the ad tech and credit information markets despite broader economic uncertainty.
