TRU TransUnion cooldown until Feb/Mar 2022?DISCLAIMER: I'm not a certified or licensed financial advisor, securities trader, or securities broker; and, this is not intended as financial or securities advice.
DISCLOSURE: I own shares of EXPGY. I do not currently own shares of TRU.
Looks like TransUnion is solidly in a 3-4 month cooldown trough until February or March, but then should ramp back up to the Fib red price line. At moderate confidence down to $105 in February, but at an extreme low it could touch $100.

TransUnion Sighting The promised land TransUnion Report Finds More than Half of Consumers Plan to Spend $500+ this Holiday Shopping Season; Shoppers Plan to Increase Spending for Third Consecutive Year.
Nearly a quarter of households with children plan to travel for vacation this holiday season, with cruises and resorts among top destinations.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- More than half of Americans (51%) plan to spend more than $500 this holiday shopping season, a marked increase from the 36% who planned to do so in 2022. A new TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) report found that three in 10 consumers (29%) plan on spending more on holiday shopping than in the year prior, while only 16% say they will spend less.
Both data points represent the third consecutive year for their respective trends, indicating continuing consumer resiliency. The findings were corroborated by the amounts consumers plan to spend this year, with significant increases in the higher spend brackets. The shift was even more exaggerated in the drop at the lower end of planned spending.
Consumer tolerance for security depends on in-store vs. online
The past year saw several high-profile “smash and grab” attacks on retailers, causing many to place more products inside security cases to prevent organized retail crime. While the majority of consumers (66%) say they haven’t noticed or don’t care that more products are being locked up, one-third of consumers dislike the practice.
In fact, 15% said they won’t wait to have an item unlocked by a store employee; 9% will instead purchase those items online; and another 9% will generally carry a negative view of the store. These findings vary slightly across regions in the U.S., with higher levels of negative feelings in the Northeast and West, which have been more highly affected by theft and organized retail crime.
Consumers are far less ambivalent about online security measures as they protect the consumers as well as the retailers. In fact, 96% of shoppers have a positive or at least neutral view of additional security measures. Six in 10 (59%) say added security makes them more likely to shop with that retailer and 37% say they are willing to spend the time to verify their identity without it affecting their shopping habits.
However, there was one point on which both groups agreed, which is that two-factor authentication is the top choice for online shopping security measures.

Transunion (TRU:NYSE) Signs of Growth PotentialTransUnion: Dominant Player in a Monopolistic Industry with Growth Potential
Introduction:
TransUnion, one of the three largest companies in a monopolistic industry, enjoys significant advantages due to high barriers to entry. This allows the company to sustain long-term growth through geographic and product expansion. While recent acquisitions raise some concerns, TransUnion's management has a clear strategy to enhance profitability, and their execution thus far has been commendable. Although market conditions may present challenges in FY23, the company is expected to regain strong growth thereafter.
I. Dominance in a Monopolistic Industry
Leading Position:
TransUnion holds a prominent position as one of the three largest companies in its monopolistic industry. This status grants the company a competitive advantage, enabling it to dictate market dynamics and capitalize on its established presence.
Barriers to Entry:
The industry's high barriers to entry create significant hurdles for potential competitors. TransUnion benefits from its established infrastructure, extensive data resources, and strong customer relationships, making it challenging for new entrants to gain a foothold in the market.
II. Growth Potential through Expansion
Geographic Expansion:
TransUnion has successfully pursued geographical expansion, leveraging its existing capabilities to enter new markets and tap into untapped potential. This strategy provides the company with opportunities for continued growth and revenue diversification.
Product Expansion:
In addition to geographic expansion, TransUnion focuses on expanding its product offerings. By developing innovative solutions and leveraging emerging technologies, the company can cater to evolving customer needs and maintain a competitive edge in the market.
III. Strategy for Improved Profitability
Acquisitions:
While there may be hesitations surrounding recent acquisitions, TransUnion's management has outlined a clear strategy to enhance profitability. By leveraging synergies, integrating acquired companies efficiently, and optimizing operations, the company aims to achieve improved financial performance.
Strong Execution:
TransUnion has demonstrated strong execution of its strategy thus far, validating management's ability to drive positive results. Their track record indicates a commitment to effective implementation and a proactive approach to addressing challenges.
IV. Market Challenges and Future Growth
Tough Market Conditions:
FY23 is expected to present challenges for TransUnion due to prevailing market conditions. External factors such as economic fluctuations, regulatory changes, or industry-specific challenges may impact performance. However, TransUnion's established position and strategic initiatives position it well to weather these headwinds.
Anticipated Strong Growth:
Despite the short-term challenges, TransUnion is poised to regain strong growth beyond FY23. The company's robust foundation, expansion efforts, and focus on profitability improvement set the stage for future success, making it an attractive prospect for investors.
Conclusion:
TransUnion's dominant position in a monopolistic industry, along with its high barriers to entry, provides a strong foundation for sustained growth. While caution may be warranted regarding recent acquisitions, the company's management has a clear strategy to improve profitability, and their execution has been commendable. Although market conditions may pose challenges in FY23, TransUnion is well-positioned for a return to strong growth in the future. Investors should monitor the company's progress and assess its potential to capitalize on expansion opportunities and deliver long-term value.

Trade Setup a TRU Short , Analysis Analysis:
Volume Flow - falling
At the peak of oscillator (Coppock)
The Coppock is a generic public code that I've made a few changes to - nothing is locked - its all public as well.
Near term expectation is Oscillator to turn down and price to fall.
Be careful - different time scales give different interpretations
Will it be shortly TRU ?
Only time will tell.
Date shown in Red callout is AEST , one day ahead of US dates
ABC Bullish Earnings 2-16 BMO/Tomorrow )o:TRU is due for earnings before market open tomorrow...so ...it will be over by the time market opens ..
TRU has not missed earnings before that I can see in earnings history..Guidance, I do not know the history and can make a difference..
Anyway there was large effective volume and a pocket pivot on Friday..That is what brought this stock to my attention again, I have owned it in the past. I sold because I hit my target. You know how you just forget about looking back sometimes after you sell?? LOL
There was a V tweezer bottom, kind of. I say that because a V bottom has an almost mirror image on the leg up that is very close to the leg down..this one got stuck a long the way. TRU started basically ranging and trying to form a Cup and Handle pattern at this point (Is why I put it in a white cup) and I will come back to taregts for a cup and handle formation if indeed it holds the break out level this time. It has failed on that as well and experienced a pull back at 102.80, a substantial pull back ensued.
It was more of a "I did not hold on" type move and R took it back down for some reason. It is not a throwback because it did not break up a substantial amount or anything.
Anyway...I guess tomorrow will tell the tale...

The TRANSUNION ProgramHey guys, TRANSUNION is in a bullish configuration, attempt of aborted sellers with a high volume of sales. We note that the last session a large number of sales volumes have been made, it is possible that the buyers are back and that the price goes up more than expected.
It is located on a support slant which goes towards the second zone of equilbre, possibility of the breakout to go to the bottom of the third zone and see even try to go for the highs if there is a buying force.
Please LIKE & FOLLOW, thank you!

TRU - BearishTRU has completed a Wave 5 of 5 bullish move. Recent price action was not able to take out the highs and earning was a surprise to the downside. I expect a return to the start of Wave 4 which is approximately 77.50. Target 75-77.50 from current levels once it completes the gap left between 90-91.
