The "Markets" division continues to underperform (1% growth this year?) and the excuse that this is cyclical to the problems in the financial industry stopped having credibility a year ago. The merger weakened the company and Markets is dragging down the other businesses, which have performed well under the circumstances.

Market data products are a nice to have. Financial vertical will be impacted greatly with consolidation and cost cutting.

...they will help you pick the best stocks with their engaging and in-depth analysis of stocks, none of this "jump on the bandwagon" type journalism they cut to the chase and only provide facts.

Combination of high valuation, integration/technology risk, competitive threats from both direct market data and free/low cost aggregators, the LSE share price arb (20% cheaper in London), and a play on weak financial industry.

The market for business intelligence collected and distributed by companies such as TRI is growing. Plus, one of TRI's offerings is Westlaw, a standard legal resource. With the number of legal proceedings in this country, there's little chance that demand for Westlaw will abate. Just think of all those Westlaw tomes that appear on the sets of _Law and Order,_ then multiply them by all the non-fiction legal firms, law schools, courthouses ...

I had this one as outperform once before and bailed on it early. Call it nerves or just being to new to this to understand what I was doing. This time I will keep it at least as long as my recommendation says.

This stock is projected by Value Line to double earnings in the next five years, has actually doubled earnings in the past five years, is selling at price-earnings multiples (P/Es) that are 110 percent or less of Value Line's projected earnings growth rate, and has a safety rating of average or better.

Superior management and the merger with Reuters will bring this company to greater profits over the medium term. Needs to adjust to the cost of the Reuters integration before results will be seen.

The adoption of semantic web technology will give information owners an increased opportunity to profit from their information assets.

From what the stats and the Financial reports show this is one stock that is to be watched closely.

Not sure if this is actually going to do as well as some expect, given that Bloomberg maybe able to focus more on his baby soon and they are caught up in integration, but I think that doubt is baked into the stock price.

Flat fees will be going up and watch for the expansion of their data services and streaming services.

Plenty of upside potential in this stock. This company is rock solid with very good management.

Could be the surprise of the next six months.

Cost Savings, Increased demand for information products, similarity between businesses of Thomson and Reuters.
