TransUnion Shares Surge 5.21% Despite 67.79% Volume Plunge, Rank 292nd in U.S. Trading Activity

On October 3, 2025, TransUnion (TRU) rose 5.21% to close trading with a volume of $390 million, representing a 67.79% decline from the previous day's volume. The stock ranked 292nd in trading activity among U.S. equities, indicating reduced liquidity despite the upward price movement.

Recent developments affecting TRU include a strategic partnership announcement with a major financial technology firm, which expanded its data analytics capabilities. Additionally, the company released updated guidance for its credit risk modeling division, highlighting improved client adoption rates in emerging markets. These factors contributed to renewed investor confidence in the stock's long-term fundamentals.

To set up a rigorous back-test I first need to pin down a few implementation details that aren’t fully specified yet: 1. Equity universe • All U.S. common stocks (default), or a different market/universe? 2. Selection & weighting rule for the daily portfolio • Equal-weight the 500 names (default), or weight by share of total volume, market‐cap, etc.? 3. Trade execution convention • Buy at today’s close and liquidate at tomorrow’s close (default 1-day holding period), or buy at tomorrow’s open / sell at tomorrow’s close, etc.? 4. Transaction costs / slippage assumptions • Apply a round-trip cost (e.g., 2 bp each side) or ignore costs? If the defaults above are acceptable, let me know and I’ll proceed with the data pull and back-test. Otherwise, please specify any adjustments you’d like.
