Research Alert: CFRA Upgrades Rating On Shares Of Thomson Reuters Corporation To Buy From Hold

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our target to $110 from $97, based on a P/E of 21.9x our 2027 EPS view vs. the peer average of 20.2x. We increase our 2026 EPS by $0.10 to $4.45 and 2027's by $0.30 to $5.02. We think Q1 results provide the tangible evidence needed to move off the sidelines, directly mitigating the competitive AI risks that underpinned our previous cautious stance. Management's fiduciary-grade AI framework offers a more compelling defense of its moat, and this narrative is now supported by accelerating top-line momentum, with the core Legal segment (ex-Govt) growing 11%. While execution risk on the H2 2026 margin expansion target and subdued government segment growth remain primary concerns, these are well-cushioned by the company's fortress balance sheet (0.8x net leverage) and substantial capital capacity ($9B+ through 2028). With the market having priced in significant erosion (shares down 28% YTD), we believe the disconnect provides better downside protection and supports a more favorable risk-reward profile.

Research Alert: Tri Q1: Revenue Beat On Ai Adoption, Margin Expansion Pressured

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:Thomson Reuters edged out Q1 2026 earnings with adjusted EPS of $1.23 vs. $1.12 a year ago, beating consensus by $0.02, while revenues rose 10% (+8% organic) to $2.09B, surpassing expectations by $50M. The outperformance stemmed from the "Big 3" segments that grew 11% (+9% organic), representing 85% of revenues and demonstrating strength in mission-critical professional workflows. We believe increasing adoption of "fiduciary-grade AI" products like CoCounsel, along with recurring revenues growing 8% organically, supports the resilient subscription-based model. Management maintained full-year 2026 guidance for organic revenue growth of 7.5%-8.0% and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of 100 bps, though it increased net interest expense guidance to $180M-$190M. We expect continued momentum from AI integration across the Legal Professionals and Corporates segments, while robust free cash flow of $332M (+19% Y/Y) and $867M in capital returns demonstrate strong cash generation and shareholder-friendly allocation.

CIBC Lowers Price Target on Software and Services Stocks

CIBC Capital Markets lowered its price target on eight software and services stocks ahead of Q1 results for the sector."We expect high single-digit growth in revenue and EBITDA within our coverage in Q1, despite AI-disruption concerns that have reduced the market cap of our Software coverage by an average of 24% year to date," analyst Stephanie Price said in a note to clients."With limited AI-related read-throughs from near-term earnings, investors have been reducing multiples and rethinking terminal values," Price said."For Q1, we are roughly in line with consensus expectations," the analyst said. "We expect a volatile earnings season and a focus on AI narrative for companies that meet or beat consensus expectations.""We expect that earnings misses could result in outsized market reactions," Price said. "That said, with an average 8% consensus EBITDA growth expectation for the quarter, we also see the possibility of upside from multi-year valuation lows."Price made the following changes:CGI Inc.
