Company Report

Thomson Reuters Earnings: Strong Underlying Revenue Trends Across the Firm's Segments

Thomson Reuters reported a very good start to 2024. First-quarter organic revenue growth accelerated to 9% from 7% in the fourth quarter with organic growth particularly strong in corporate and tax and accounting professionals segments. While there were some one-time and seasonal items impacting growth that likely won’t occur in the rest of 2024, underlying trends were still strong, in our view. As we take up our revenue estimates, we are increasing our fair value estimate to $137 from $128 but still regard shares as pricey.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

A renewed focus and new management following the Refinitiv divestment could see margins improve, driving profitability.

Bears

Since divesting Refinitiv and instituting its expense reduction programs, the firm's valuation has risen, which could limit upside given that the firm's efforts are already appreciated by the market.
