Thomson Reuters TRI beats Q2 2026 estimates as AI tools drive 10% growth
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on August 6, 2026.
AI legal tools are now showing up in the guidance: Westlaw and CoCounsel helped drive 10% organic growth across the Big 3 segments, and management raised the full-year revenue growth outlook. Thomson Reuters also agreed to sell a majority of Global Print to KKR, a deal it expects to lift annual organic growth once it closes.

Thomson Reuters reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.99, clearing the Wall Street consensus of $0.958 by about 3.3%. Revenue came in at $1.954 billion against an estimate of roughly $1.919 billion, a beat of about 1.8%. The result continues a pattern of mostly topping expectations — the company has beaten on EPS in seven of the past eight reported quarters, with Q1 2026 being the lone miss.
The growth story is increasingly built around AI-powered legal products. Westlaw and CoCounsel helped fuel 10% organic growth across Thomson Reuters' three core segments, and management was confident enough in that momentum to raise its full-year revenue growth outlook. That guidance lift is notable because it signals the AI investments are translating into measurable customer demand rather than just product announcements.
Thomson Reuters also announced it agreed to sell a majority stake in its Global Print business to KKR. The company expects that divestiture to provide a further boost to annual organic growth once the deal closes, effectively letting it shed a legacy print unit while doubling down on higher-growth digital and AI-driven offerings.
