On September 15, Thomson Reuters rose 7.87% in regular trading, trading at $105.05/share, with turnover of $83.90 million. The rally was driven by the successful pricing of a large-scale dual financing plan spanning both US and Canadian debt markets.
Specifically, Thomson Reuters' subsidiary TR Finance priced a US public offering of $800 million in 5.1% notes due 2028 and $500 million in 5.75% notes due 2033. Concurrently, the parent company completed a C$1 billion Canadian private placement comprising C$350 million in 4.13% notes due 2029, C$350 million in 4.48% notes due 2031, and C$300 million in floating rate notes due 2029. Net proceeds are earmarked for general corporate purposes, including commercial paper program debt repayment, with both offerings expected to close September 17.
The financing follows a series of strategic moves including the launch of its proprietary large language model Thomson, built on an open-source foundation with a $40 million investment, the rollout of an upgraded CoCounsel Legal AI tool, and a $500 million global print joint venture with KKR. Analysts at RBC Capital Markets maintain an Outperform rating with a $124 price target, citing sustained competitive positioning through agentic AI momentum.
