Michael Sprung Thomson Reuters Corp TRI-T SELL Nov 27, 2024

A rare quality company in Canada (like DOL-T). The Thomson family still owns a ton of shares, great cash flow and are capital-lite. All good. PE is high but worth it. That said, he prefers US stocks like Moodys and Costar. Would watch this.

More of a growth-oriented stock. Since it's had such a run, dollar cost averaging would make sense on this one. It could potentially slide back after the runup. A smaller yield, so you're trying to buy cheaper to get the capital growth.

Company has large amount of product lines. Data and and financial markets very profitable. A.I. tech will also help company continue to grow. Company working hard to integrate machine language into business model. Very good for long term investors. 

Gently sloping uptrend since October 2022, but has now jumped up off trendline. Could be considered overbought, but you have to watch momentum indicators. He really likes the money flow indicator you can get from stockcharts.com.

He uses a weekly chart for momentum. If it's overbought, he lets it rest awhile. Could be starting a pullback, when it would be a good opportunity to buy.

Checks a number of boxes. Founder-run, founder-owned. Nice ROIC. However, growth hasn't been there, in mid-single-digits. Very expensive at 33x PE. Classic example of excellent business, but challenging valuation.

Once you subscribe to their platform, you won't leave. TRI would benefit from AI, given all the data they already have.

Great business, you'll do really well. He hasn't done enough research into it to compare it to what's already in his portfolio. But charts don't lie.

Its ability to repurpose from newspapers and radio into data is just breathtaking. Loves the capital-light, subscription-type businesses. AI has not hurt its business. See his Top Picks.

One of the stronger companies and brands in Canada. Successful transition to a digital company, offering subscriptions to data. Low capex, recurring revenue. Profitability was challenged, but now improving nicely. Very expensive at 43x PE. Small yield of 1.3%.

Stay away for now on valuation, but watch, consider buying if shares correct.

TRI remains one of our favourite conservative-growth companies. It has held up very well in the market meltdown. It does have a premium valuation, but we would still be comfortable buying in the $245 range.
