You should just reference the field as an object property of the user instead of using setFieldValue. I also use the getElements function instead of using the property, but I don't think that makes much difference. The code below should work.

public function actionUpdateuser() {
    // Update user data
    $userId = 67852;
    $user = Craft::$app->users->getUserById($userId);
    $user->userCompanyName = 'New Name 2'; 
    $result = Craft::$app->getElements()->saveElement($user);

    return $result;
}

Also make sure to add the Craft Users class at the top of the page with:

use craft\elements\User;

public function actionUpdateuser() {
    // Update user data
    $userId = 67852;
    $user = Craft::$app->users->getUserById($userId);
    $user->userCompanyName = 'New Name 2'; 
    $result = Craft::$app->getElements()->saveElement($user);

    return $result;
}

public function actionUpdateuser() {
    // Update user data
    $userId = 67852;
    $user = Craft::$app->users->getUserById($userId);
    $user->userCompanyName = 'New Name 2'; 
    $result = Craft::$app->getElements()->saveElement($user);

    return $result;
}
