Thomson Reuters posted Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.99, clearing the Wall Street estimate of $0.958 by about 3.3%. Revenue came in at $1.954 billion, roughly 1.8% above the consensus forecast of $1.919 billion. The beat extends a consistent recent track record — the company has topped EPS estimates in each of the past eight reported quarters.
The headline numbers were driven by the Big 3 segments — Legal, Corporates, and Tax — which grew 10% organically, fueled by demand for CoCounsel and Westlaw products. That AI-powered product mix is set to deepen further after the sale of the Global Print business to KKR, a deal that shifts the company's revenue base more decisively toward higher-growth digital and AI tools heading into the next quarter.
Management lifted the full-year revenue growth guidance to approximately 8.0%. Investors will be watching whether the CoCounsel and Westlaw momentum can sustain double-digit organic growth in the Big 3 segments through the back half of 2026, and how quickly the portfolio reshaping from the KKR transaction shows up in margin and mix metrics.
