Thomson Reuters sells 51% Global Print stake to KKR; 2026 outlook updated

Oct 19, 2026, 7:13 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

The divestiture reduces exposure to a legacy business, introduces a royalty-based offset to stranded costs, and improves visibility on core growth through 60–70 bps accretion; offsets and restatements may create near-term volatility but long-term fundamentals improve.
