CHICAGO - TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) shares gained 4% after the credit reporting company exceeded second quarter expectations, driven by strong performance in its U.S. Financial Services segment and improved guidance for the full year.

"TransUnion delivered strong results that again exceeded financial guidance," said Chris Cartwright, President and CEO. "After the last several years of investment, we are now focused on execution and value creation."
The company also improved its financial position, reducing its leverage ratio to 2.8x at quarter-end while repurchasing $47 million in shares through mid-July.
