Canada-based media giant Thomson Reuters Corp (TSX:TRI) announced a net income of US$ 5.04 billion in its first-quarter 2021 results on Tuesday, May 4. The increase in its latest quarterly net income came after it successfully sold its stake in financial data provider EODHD/Others to the London Stock Exchange (LSE) Group in the last quarter.


Its stock climbed over five per cent to 120.23 apiece on Tuesday, May 4 (10:10AM EST) in the light of its latest financial results announcement.

The company registered a profit of US$ 10.13 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to a profit of US$ 0.39 per diluted share in Q1 2020.

After excluding the EODHD/Others transaction, Thomson Reuters generated a profit of US$ 0.58 per share in the latest quarter, up 21 per cent against an adjusted profit of US$ 0.48 per share in Q1 2020.

Its quarterly revenue improved to US$ 1.58 billion in Q1 2021, as against that of US$ 1.52 billion in Q1 2020. It topped EODHD/Others analysts’ estimates that had predicted an adjusted profit of US$ 0.42 per share and a revenue of US$ 1.56 billion.
