These three information providers face a challenge from free online news and other data. However, all three are well-established leaders, which helps them hang on to their clients. They’re also keeping their costs under control, which gives them more room to maintain or raise their dividends. THOMSON REUTERS CORP. $52 (Toronto symbol TRI; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Consumer sector; Shares outstanding: 791.8 million; Market cap: $41.2 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 3.3; Dividend yield: 3.2%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.thomsonreuters.com) sells specialized information products in four main areas: financial (53% of 2014 revenue, 39% of earnings); legal (28%, 39%); tax (11%, 12%); and intellectual property and science (8%, 10%).

BOMBARDIER INC., Toronto symbols BBD.A $2.69 and BBD.B $2.58, fell 12% this week after announcing several moves to improve its struggling aerospace division. It will also suspend its dividend and issue new shares and debt to shore up its balance sheet. As part of the plan, Bombardier’s chief executive officer, Pierre Beaudoin, will step down and become executive chairman. Alain Bellemare, the former CEO of United Technologies, will take over as CEO. (United Technologies is a recommendation of Wall Street Stock Forecaster, our newsletter that focuses on U.S. stocks.) Bombardier now says its new CSeries passenger jet will cost $5.4 billion to develop, up from its earlier forecast of $4.4 billion (all amounts except share prices in U.S. dollars). After several setbacks, it expects to begin deliveries by the end of 2015....

THOMSON REUTERS CORP. (Toronto symbol TRI; www.thomsonreuters.com) is seeing higher demand for its financial information products for the first time since the 2008 economic crisis. Sales at its legal and tax and accounting businesses are also improving.
In the three months ended September 30, 2014, Thomson’s overall revenue rose 1.1%, to $3.11 billion from $3.07 billion a year earlier (all amounts except share price and market cap in U.S. dollars).
The financial division’s revenue (54% of the total) fell 0.7%. But banks and other clients are buying more products than they’re cancelling, which should raise this division’s future revenue.
Revenue rose 1.3% at the legal-products division (28%), 11.5% at tax and accounting (10%) and 3.3% at intellectual property and science (8%).

THOMSON REUTERS CORP. (Toronto symbol TRI; www.thomsonreuters.com) sells information products in four areas: financial (55% of revenue, 37% of earnings); legal (27%, 41%); tax (10%, 12%); and intellectual property and science (8%, 10%).

THOMSON REUTERS CORP. $42 (Toronto symbol TRI; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Consumer sector; Shares outstanding: 803.7 million; Market cap: $33.8 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 2.6; Dividend yield: 3.4%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.thomsonreuters.com) sells information products in four areas: financial (55% of revenue, 37% of earnings); legal (27%, 41%); tax (10%, 12%); and intellectual property and science (8%, 10%).

Thomson’s revenue rose 6.2%, from $13.0 billion in 2009 to $13.8 billion in 2011 (all amounts except share price and market cap in U.S. dollars). That’s partly due to acquisitions, particularly in developing markets like Brazil. These new businesses helped offset lower sales at its main financial division as banks and brokers cut their spending after the 2008/2009 financial crisis.

THOMSON REUTERS CORP. $39 (Toronto symbol TRI; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Consumer sector; Shares outstanding: 811.1 million; Market cap: $31.6 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 2.4; Dividend yield: 3.7%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.thomsonreuters.com) earned $374 million in the first quarter of 2014, up 19.5% from $313 million a year earlier (all amounts except share price and market cap in U.S. dollars). Due to fewer shares outstanding, per-share earnings rose 21.1%, to $0.46 from $0.38. Revenue rose 1.0%, to $3.13 billion from $3.10 billion.
The higher earnings are mainly due to savings from a recent restructuring plan, including job cuts and eliminating less-profitable products. These savings will help Thomson offset weaker demand for its information products from financial institutions, particularly in Europe, as they continue to cut costs in the wake of the 2008 credit crisis. Meanwhile, demand for Thomson’s other data products (legal, tax and accounting, and intellectual property/science) remains strong.
Thomson Reuters is a buy.
