Despite the earnings miss, total revenue climbed 11% to $1.83 billion, buoyed by double-digit growth across its primary business segments. The legal professionals unit generated $788 million, while corporate services and tax, audit, and accounting segments saw revenues reach $544 million and $276 million, respectively. The Reuters news division also posted a 13% gain, contributing $232 million to the quarterly total.

The company’s financial outlook remains aggressive; following the October sale of a 51% controlling stake in its global legal print business to KKR for approximately $500 million, Thomson Reuters projected 2026 revenue growth of roughly 9.5%. Organic revenue is expected to increase between 8.5% and 9% as the firm narrows its focus on high-growth digital assets.
