Thomson Reuters ( (TSE:TRI) ) has provided an update.

On April 30, 2026, Thomson Reuters announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted a final order approving its plan of arrangement for a return of capital and related share consolidation. Shareholders had already approved the transactions on April 28, 2026, clearing a key governance hurdle for the capital return initiative.

The plan includes a special cash distribution totaling about US$605 million, or an estimated US$1.36 per common share, alongside a proportional reverse stock split to maintain capital structure balance. Implementation remains subject to final approvals from the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, after which the consolidation will take effect on May 4, 2026, adjust trading under a new CUSIP, and alter relative ownership stakes, particularly increasing equity and voting interests for shareholders who opted out of the cash distribution.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:TRI) stock is a Buy with a C$129.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Thomson Reuters stock, see the TSE:TRI Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TRI Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TRI is a Neutral.

The score is supported primarily by strong financial performance and constructive guidance/capital-return commitments from the latest earnings call. This is meaningfully offset by very weak technical conditions (deeply negative trend and momentum). Valuation is moderately demanding on P/E, with the dividend providing partial support.
