The setup on TransUnion is patient: consolidation, not accumulation or distribution. Institutional coverage is thorough here, so shifts in analyst expectations show up in price quickly.

Behaviour On Record

What TRU's own history says about today's numbers

Realized volatility (21d)
36.4% 75th pct
Below its peak
-47.6%
vs 200-day average
-12.7%
Up days (1y)
48%

TransUnion is currently running 36.4% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against TRU's own 11 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 75th percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 28.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

TRU is trading -47.6% below its running peak. Across 10 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -27.6%, and the deepest was -56.4% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -12.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 14th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year TRU closed higher on 48% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 11 years of records, TRU finished the month higher 5 of 11 times, with a median return of -2.2% and an average of -3.9%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +5.9% on average, its weakest September at -5.4%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: TRU has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 159 of 2,839 sessions (5.6% of the time), with the largest gaps running +13.2% and -13.3%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 2,840 daily closes between 2015-06-25 and 2026-10-09, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against TRU's own 11-year history, not a peer group or index.
