This summary was created by AI, based on 36 opinions in the last 12 months.

Thomson Reuters Corp (TRI) is currently facing concerns regarding the potential impact of AI on its traditional services, particularly within its legal database segment. While some reviewers express fear that AI could replace TRI's offerings, many highlight that TRI's proprietary database and expertise in aggregating and curating legal and financial data provide a strong competitive advantage that AI cannot easily replicate. The company's recent quarterly results showed stable growth and an increase in share buybacks, signaling confidence from management. Despite the current market downturn, several analysts believe that TRI's business model will adapt and thrive, maintaining its relevance in the evolving landscape of AI and data services. Overall, the sentiment suggests that the market has overreacted to fears surrounding AI, leading to a potentially attractive buying opportunity for investors willing to look past short-term volatility.

BUY

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

DON'T 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.

WATCH

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.

TOP PICK

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. 

PARTIAL BUY

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.

WATCH
Average up after gaining?

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.

WAIT

Strong Canadian brand. Successful transition to digital economy. Subscription services for legal, financial, news, and tax data. Low capex, recurring revenue. Profitability improving. Expensive multiple, too high, he's patient and will wait for it to come down.

HOLD

Refocused, and the stock chart reflects that. Well run. Attractive market niche. Valuation too high to buy today. But if you hold, keep on holding and let it work for you. GAARP idea, not for the dividend. See his Top Picks for dividend ideas.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Very good company that has owned for years. Recent A.I. acquisition good for business. Trading at high valuation. Would be good for long term investors. 

WAIT

They transitioned well into digital by offering data. A low capex, recurring revenue business. Likes that, but profits need to catch up to the new business model. Not quite there yet. Trades at a high 40x PE. Is sitting on the sidelines. Charlie Munger says the money is made in waiting.

HOLD

Has found focus in the last 5 years. Pruned its portfolio, sold non-core assets. He'd keep holding. Don't buy today, as valuation is too high.

COMMENT

It is the best data based business in the world. It There was a recent special dividend and it might be fully priced now.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Fundamentally a strong company.
Recent increase in shares makes name expensive.
Waiting for shares to fall before buying.
Long term is a good investment.
Very strong assets and management. 

DON'T BUY

Great, strong company, strong brand. Made transition to digital. Tremendous business model on paper. Profitability is tepid at best, below TSX. Eye-popping PE of 78x.

WAIT
Provides data to end markets for a variety of industries. Unique. Likes what they do. Capital light. Still, shares have run up. He'll wait until there's a good buying opportunity.
