The Analyst Landscape: 5 Takes On TransUnion

Wolfe Research analyst Scott Wurtzel initiates coverage on TransUnion (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRU#NYSE">TRU</a>) with a Peer Perform rating.

Initiation

Wolfe Research Initiates Coverage On TransUnion with Peer Perform Rating

TransUnion (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRU#NYSE">TRU</a>) in May reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38530003/transunion-stock-barely-moves-despite-q1-earnings-beat">first-quarter earnings ahead of expectations</a>.
The Chicago-based company is poised to benefit from continued stability in consumer lending and room for upside in emerging verticals, according to Bank of America Securities.
The TransUnion Analyst: Heather Balsky upgraded the rating for TransUnion from Neutral to Buy, with a price target of $92.
The TransUnion Thesis: With insurance leading the way, strength in emerging verticals is likely to drive earnings upside for the company, Balsky said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
"Larger P&amp;C insurers are already starting to spend more on marketing, a positive for TRU," the analyst wrote. Although the company reported organic EV sales growth of 4% for the first quarter, this did not flow through to its guidance, she added.
TransUnioncould raise its 2024 organic sales, ex-mortgage, growth guidance, Balsky further stated. Investor sentiment may also be boosted by the company's margin expansion due to cost-savings, she added.
The stock is down 11% since mid-May, which lends further upside.
TRU Price Action: Shares of TransUnion had risen by 3.10% to $73.52 at the time of publication on Thursday.

Shares of several industrial companies are trading higher amid overall market strength following positive inflation data.

AppFolio (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/appf#NASDAQ">APPF</a>) is constantly striving to retain its leading position in the U.S. property management software market and is leveraging AI to streamline the customer onboarding process.
APPF aims to capture customers through the launch of innovative products, and its growth strategy involves migrating customers that use similar products in the market.
AppFolio has gained 33.5% in the year-to-date period, outperforming the Zacks Internet-Software Industry, which has returned 11.6% in the same timeframe.
This Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stock has a Growth Style Score of A, a favorable combination that offers a strong investment opportunity, per the Zacks Proprietary methodology.

<h3>AppFolio, Inc. Price and Consensus</h3>
<h3><img alt="AppFolio, Inc. Price and Consensus" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/charts/af/1718113231.png" style="height:276px; width:610px" title="" /></h3>
AppFolio, Inc. price-consensus-chart | AppFolio, Inc. Quote

<h3>Robust Portfolio Boosts Competitive Prowess</h3>
APPF provides a range of property management services through AppFolio Property Manager Core, Plus and Max. It offers some value-added services, including online transaction services for property managers, tenant screening services and event insurance services to renters and landlords.
AppFolio operates in a range of verticals and has numerous competitors. The company competes with Entrata, RealPage, Buildium and Yardi in the property management software space. APPF also competes with TransUnion (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tru#NYSE">TRU</a>) Smartmove, RentSpree and TurboTenant in the tenant screening market space.
AppFolio has many advantages over its competitors. For instance, while customers may use TransUnion Smartmove for tenant screening, to get a holistic tenancy management that involves tenant and lease tracking, communication tools for tenant interaction and lease management, including renewal and reminders, they need APPF or other property management software.
<h3>AppFolio leverages AI for Smoother Customer Migrations</h3>
The customers of property management software companies include land owners, real estate investors, housing associations, property managers, and rental managers. These customers are often dissuaded by the lengthy onboarding process, which involves manual data migration and system setup, which makes them reluctant to switch from one property management software to another.
After the integration of AI into its platform, the company has been able to migrate customers 22% faster than before by using generative AI. Currently, APPF&#39;s property management software holds the largest market in the U.S., according to a report by 6sense.
The recent addition of generative AI features in AppFolio&#39;s software enables customers to input their financial, business and other foundational data into the platform at their own pace. The platform now leverages a conversational AI assistant, Realm-X, to reduce repetitive tasks, complete tasks and resolve queries.
This new addition to the platform is in line with AppFolio&#39;s long history of automating customer&#39;s tasks to improve experience. In the past, APPF had partnered with DocuSign (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/docu#NASDAQ">DOCU</a>) and AvidXchange (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avdx#NASDAQ">AVDX</a>) to streamline its customer experience.
AppFolio partnered with DocuSign in 2021 to automate and streamline its signing process through electronic signature. APPF partnered with AvidXchange to streamline the processing of invoices and payments.
APPF&#39;s persistent efforts to improve its offerings have contributed to its customer base, which grew 6% year over year to 19,941 customers in the first quarter of 2024.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
AppFolio&#39;s focus on generative AI investments bodes well in the long term. APPF anticipates to grow at this pace, as reflected in its fiscal 2024 outlook. The company projects its revenues to be in the range of $766 million to $774 million.
The Zacks consensus estimate for the same has been pegged at $773.8 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 24.7%. AppFolio&#39;s earnings for fiscal 2024 has been revised upwards by 16 cents from $3.84 to $4 in the past 60 days.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings for fiscal 2024 is pegged at $4, indicating year-over-year growth of 134%. AppFolio&#39;s earnings for fiscal 2024 have been revised upward by 16 cents, from $3.84 to $4 in the past 60 days.

Artificial intelligence (AI) remains a hot topic, with investors&rsquo; minds focused on which <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/artificial-intelligence/">AI stocks</a> to buy. Despite the volatility risks inherent to the technology sector and recent market declines, investors are still scrutinizing which AI stocks to buy as the field shows <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/meta-s-earnings-flop-sparks-us-400-billion-selloff-in-tech-stocks-1.2063523">growth potential</a>. Although many investors have profited from buying AI stocks, analysts&rsquo; perspectives on AI vary. For those pondering the right AI stocks to buy, the question remains whether this is the time to participate in the ongoing evolution. Estimated to <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/ai-stocks-artificial-intelligence-bull-market-outlook-2024-investing-strategy-2023-12">span another decade</a>, some debate AI is a bubble ultimately bursting while others argue the bubble keeps going for several years, <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ai-fueled-stock-market-bubble-201601958.html">supporting AI stocks</a> through 2026. Industry leaders like Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/msft-stock-quote/">MSFT</a>) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>) achieved phenomenal performance in recent years. However, their soaring market caps signify they may have reached their peak growth potential. This suggests that investors seeking the next big AI stocks to buy may search for lesser-known AI companies that could prove higher-reward opportunities.



<h2>&#8203;Soundhound AI (SOUN)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/soun1600-3-300x169.png" alt="Person holding smartphone with webpage of US audio recognition company SoundHound Inc. (SOUN) on screen in front of logo. Focus on center of phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>SoundHound (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/soun-stock-quote/">SOUN</a>) remains one of the AI stocks to buy despite being a small company in the AI space. It has significant growth potential thanks to its innovative applications. The company provides text-to-speech and speech recognition through AI for real-time translation and applications. It is used for applications such as taking restaurant orders and <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-first-soundhound-ai-voice-140000032.html">integrating voice</a> into vehicles. However, it also has potential applications in broader retail spaces as companies look to integrate AI and natural language understanding. One of the key areas the company could break into is healthcare. The company deserves a place as one of the AI stocks to buy. Last year, it <a href="https://investors.soundhound.com/news-releases/news-release-details/soundhound-ai-reports-record-quarter-80-q4-revenue-growth-171">boosted sales by 80%</a> over the and halved its net loss. While sales were just $17.1 million in the most recent quarter, SOUN registered over $600 million in order backlog. Having soared over 100% this year and trading approximately 50% below its peak of $10.25, SOUN makes a reasonable candidate as one of the AI stocks to buy. Analysts expect the share price to accelerate at least another<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SOUN?.tsrc=fin-srch"> 45% from current levels</a> to $7.15 per share on average.



<h2>SentinelOne (S)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/sentinelone-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for SentinelOne (S) is seen on on an office building."><div>Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com</div></div>While Palantir attracts significant attention in AI cybersecurity, SentinelOne (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/s-stock-quote/">S</a>) could be an overlooked opportunity worth considering as one of the millionaire-potential AI stocks to buy. The AI cybersecurity market is projected to experience an annual growth of 9.4%, reaching nearly <a href="https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/cyber-security-market-505.html">$300 billion by 2028</a>. With a market capitalization of $6 billion, SentinelOne has extremely powerful potential for expansion within the high-growth AI cybersecurity industry. In its last quarter, SentinelOne&rsquo;s<a href="https://www.investors.com/news/technology/sentinelone-stock-falls-as-revenue-outlook-underwhelms-investors/"> revenue increased 38%</a> year-over-year (YOY). However, it missed revenue retention and estimates, and revenue guidance. Despite expecting similar revenue growth this quarter, investors punished the AI stock following the earnings report. It trades over 15% lower year-to-date (YTD) near $21 per share. Notably, S changed hands as high as $76.30 per share in 2021, offering a substantial 3x growth from current levels. Growth estimates for next year stand at 1200%, whereas the S&amp;P500 is expected to rise 13.10%. The company has also beaten earnings estimates for four quarters straight with double-digit surprises.



<h2>&#8203;Upstart (UPST)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/upst1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding smartphone with logo of U.S. fintech company Upstart Network Inc. (UPST) on screen in front of website. Focus on phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>The final pick of the AI stocks to buy is Upstart (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/upst-stock-quote/">UPST</a>), a financial technology company that uses AI and Machine Learning (ML) to help consumers access affordable credit. The company&rsquo;s AI-enabled platform assists lenders in making real-time credit decisions, providing a better risk assessment than traditional credit bureaus Equifax (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/efx-stock-quote/">EFX</a>) and TransUnion (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/tru-stock-quote/">TRU</a>). Due to its advanced risk modeling capabilities, Upstart&rsquo;s partners experience <a href="https://ir.upstart.com/static-files/8d29df4b-e299-4dbe-a63d-1cfe1a8a1f53">53% fewer loan defaults</a> at comparable approval rates.



With over 80% of Americans relying on credit scores, Upstart addresses a massive market opportunity for expanding access to affordable loans. While higher interest rates have recently slowed loan volumes, Upstart is well positioned for growth as the Federal Reserve is expected to start lowering rates in the coming years. As such, its platform is poised to facilitate more loans and deliver strong returns for shareholders as borrowing costs decrease. Although it barely grew in 2024, up 2.75%, it traded as high as $400 per share during the last accommodative periods of 2021, offering a staggering <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/UPST">17x growth</a>.
