Thomson Reuters (CA8849038812) was trading at EUR 86.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 6, 2026 at 8:58 a.m. CEST, up 0.20 percent versus the prior close of EUR 86.48. Its forward dividend yield is 2.81 percent. On October 1, 2026, Gokhshtein reported that Thomson Reuters completed the sale of a 51.00 percent stake in its global print unit to KKR.

Print stake shifts capital

The divested operation will continue as Westbridge Print, while Thomson Reuters retains a minority stake. The transaction redirects management attention toward legal technology, tax technology and artificial intelligence products, but execution remains tied to adoption and measurable returns from those tools.

The portfolio change follows a second quarter in which the company reported 8.00 percent organic revenue growth and 10.00 percent organic growth across its Big 3 segments. The print business declined 3.00 percent organically, making the divestment strategically consistent with the faster growth in the core professional markets.

Second-quarter growth raised outlook

According to The Globe and Mail in its August 5, 2026 transcript coverage, adjusted earnings per share increased 14.00 percent from USD 0.87 to USD 0.99 in the second quarter of 2026. Adjusted EBITDA rose 10.00 percent year over year to USD 745.0 million, with the margin reaching 38.10 percent.

The same transcript said free cash flow increased 29.00 percent year over year to USD 727.0 million. Management raised its full-year 2026 outlook for total and organic revenue growth to 8.00 percent, the top end of the previous 7.50 percent to 8.00 percent range.
