Just checked WU's recent performance and it's been doing better than the broader market. The stock closed around $9.52, up about 1.6% on that last trading day, while the S&P 500 only managed 0.54%. Over the past month, WU has been outperforming too, gaining 1.52% even as the Business Services sector dropped 6.48%. Pretty interesting divergence there.



Looking at the valuation, WU is trading at a Forward P/E of 5.21, which is actually pretty cheap compared to the industry average of 11.1. That's something worth noting if you're into value plays. The PEG ratio sits at 3, which is higher than the Financial Transaction Services industry average of 0.94, so there's a bit of a mixed signal there depending on what you're looking at.

WU already had its earnings report back in February, and they're projecting $1.73 per share for the full year with revenue around $4.08 billion. The consensus estimate showed a slight uptick in EPS expectations over the past month, up 0.73%. Currently ranked as a Hold by most analysts, which makes sense given the mixed signals between the valuation discount and the growth concerns. The Financial Transaction Services industry overall is ranked pretty low at 183 out of 250, so that's something to keep in mind about the sector headwinds.
