CHICAGO, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As tariffs and the potential for rising cost of goods have dominated the news cycle since early April, a new TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) Q2 2025 Consumer Pulse study found that 27% of U.S. consumers are now pessimistic about their household finances over the next 12 months. This marks a six-percentage point rise from Q4 2024 (21%) and a four-percentage point increase from a year ago (23%). It's the highest level since TransUnion first began tracking this data point in Q1 2021. Despite the rise in pessimism, 55% of consumers are optimistic about their household finances over the next 12 months – the same percentage as in Q2 2024. However, optimism has d
CHICAGO, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- An analysis from TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) sheds new light on the impact of audience composition on marketing performance, showing that making the best targeting decisions can have a compounding effect on return on ad spend (ROAS}—an upside of up to 9x. The analysis, based on real-world campaigns from 25 TransUnion measurement clients across five verticals, revealed a widening performance gap as audiences became more targeted: An audience built with two optimal consumer traits had a 3.6X ROAS upside, while an audience with three optimal traits had a 7.2X ROAS upside. Conversely, the analysis also highlights the risk of making sub-optimal targeting d

CHICAGO, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As consumers grapple with rising costs and high interest rates, recent studies have revealed an increased reliance on credit products to help make ends meet.

CHICAGO, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Auto insurance shopping in Q1 2025 increased 10% compared to the same period in 2024. Home insurance shopping was up 5% year over year, according to TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) research.
