Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: A recent guest on Market Call was touting the benefits of Eikon, which he said did amazing stuff and was half the cost of the Bloomberg Terminal, like the one you use. He implied that TRI, Thomson Reuters, has finally worked out the bugs with this business service and that the stock was a buy. Would you agree and are you familiar with Eikon? TRI apparently sold 100,000 of the desktop units (and subscriptions?) in the last quarter, which sounds like a lot to me, but maybe it isn't in comparison to the Bloomberg terminals already in place. Thanks, J.

Q: Peter, your opinion please on Thomson Reuters Corp TRI. I purchased this early last year in a registered account. Yield is good but the stock price has dropped significantly and seems to be going nowhere. The company has had difficulty with the rollout of its Eikon platform, which I believe they are not having a great deal of success competing against Bloomberg. I believe they are also repositioning some of their business units through acquisitions and divestitures. Do you consider this dead money? Buy more, hold or sell? Do you have any recommendations as an alternative in this segment? Thank you.
