Thomson Reuters Lifts Full-Year Revenue Forecast with Focus on AI Rollout
The company said 32% of underlying contract value relied on generative AI as it broadened use of its proprietary model across legal and tax products.
On Wednesday, Thomson Reuters raised its full-year organic revenue forecast to around 8% after reporting second-quarter revenue of $1.95 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of about $1.9 billion.
Shares struggled this year following concerns that AI newcomers like Anthropic could disrupt professional services; strong results now suggest customers continue relying on Thomson Reuters' core products.
CEO Steve Hasker noted that proprietary large language model 'Thomson' performed well against frontier models, driving momentum alongside growing adoption of AI-powered offerings like CoCounsel Legal.
The company recently formed a joint venture with KKR to offload 51 per cent of its global print business, sharpening focus on 'fiduciary-grade AI' and digital-first professional solutions.
Hasker intends to develop sovereign AI solutions for sophisticated customers, leveraging proprietary data to gain scalability and speed advantages while powering existing products like Westlaw and CoCounsel.
