Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The FHFA’s bi-merge consideration directly threatens TRU’s revenue via reduced mortgage data volume; even with VantageScore 4.0 expansion, volume risk could dominate short term given the magnitude (≈33% volume reduction). Historical policy-driven shifts in credit bureau economics often trigger multi-quarter price moves until clarity.
