Let's talk about the popular TransUnion (NYSE:TRU). The company's shares led the NYSE gainers with a relatively large price hike in the past couple of weeks. The recent jump in the share price has meant that the company is trading at close to its 52-week high. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock's share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let's examine TransUnion's valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there's still a bargain opportunity.

What Is TransUnion Worth?

Good news, investors! TransUnion is still a bargain right now. Our valuation model shows that the intrinsic value for the stock is $173.42, but it is currently trading at US$107 on the share market, meaning that there is still an opportunity to buy now. What's more interesting is that, TransUnion's share price is quite volatile, which gives us more chances to buy since the share price could sink lower (or rise higher) in the future. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much the stock moves relative to the rest of the market.

What kind of growth will TransUnion generate?

Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at the company's future expectations. With revenues expected to grow by a double-digit 30% over the next couple of years, the outlook is positive for TransUnion. If the level of expenses is able to be maintained, it looks like higher cash flow is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.

What This Means For You

Are you a shareholder? Since TRU is currently undervalued, it may be a great time to accumulate more of your holdings in the stock. With a positive outlook on the horizon, it seems like this growth has not yet been fully factored into the share price. However, there are also other factors such as financial health to consider, which could explain the current undervaluation.

Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping an eye on TRU for a while, now might be the time to enter the stock. Its prosperous future outlook isn't fully reflected in the current share price yet, which means it's not too late to buy TRU. But before you make any investment decisions, consider other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to make a well-informed buy.

So if you'd like to dive deeper into this stock, it's crucial to consider any risks it's facing. For example, TransUnion has 2 warning signs (and 1 which shouldn't be ignored) we think you should know about.
